Environment too hot for my dogs?

I have a 2 yr old Pomeranian and a 5 month old Maltese Mix. I'm going camping in a few weeks and was debating on whether I should take them with me. I've talked to my vet and she cleared them both to go as they are up-to-date on all needed vaccines. She also recommended a natural insect repellent.

The part Im struggling with is the temperature. It is supposed to be about 90 degress during that week and we are camping in tents, with mostly dry heat. Our campground is on some hard packed dirt, surrounded by trees which provide shade at particular times of the day. Do you guys think the environment would be too hot for them?
 
Small dogs are rather delicate. As long as you keep the hydrated and don't let them run around in excess they should be fine, but personally I would leave them with a trusted neighbor or friend.
 
Consider having someone else look in after them at home.
90 degrees is pretty hot.Dry heat is a bit easier to tolerate.
It's a personal call but will still be hot in the shade.
