Kaibab/Dogtown Lake RV Camping in Williams, AZ

Love going here for camping trips.
Surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and the dispersed camping spots are even better.

If you're questioning it, don't, just go.
You won't be disappointed

Dogtown isn't as far on dirt roads as Whitehorse.   There is an $8 day use fee, thanks to the new contractor and nightly camping fees still apply, see my picture.

As of 7/5/26 the water is considerably down.  Osprey still circle the lake and hunt for fish.  Its a no body contact lake,  which sucks.  People fish here so look for hooks.

There are pit toilets.  No showers.

We did not stay here but have dispersed on the road on the way in. I have to say that the hosts were incredibly helpful when we had an urgent critical missing and they definitely jumped into action and helped us and were looking and asking questions as people drove in and out. They took my phone number and stayed in contact. The results were unfortunate and did not end the way we had hoped. I just wanted to make sure that the Kaibab forest and other campers are aware of the diligence on their part and how it made us feel better that we were not alone on our difficult task. Thank you. God bless you and all your workers.🙏✝️💕🇺🇲

I've been coming to this campground for a few years now. It is a beautiful quiet site. We saw a bald eagle catch a fish in the lake. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The only complaints: our site 37B was really lacking for shade. But the bigger complaint: there was no firewood to purchase. Times before, you could buy bundles of firewood from the campground manager. This year they didn't have any and we were suggested to scavenge for wood.

My advice, buy the wood you'll need in Williams.

Our first time ever camping. We found a great location. We camped 1 night only. We were not properly prepared for the freezing weather at night but it was a great experience Regardless.

It's really quite during the week the weekend  wasn't too bad either. The camp site hosts do a great job of keep everything clean. They are very friendly

This was our 3rd time staying. Long story short we had an emergency and had to leave a day early. I attempted to get a refund for the last day and was told the money had been "turned in". It was the weekend, you don't have $35 or whatever it was to refund me fee? Very distasteful move. We love the place, not because of the staff, so we'll will probably be back but just a low class move on her part.

I don't usually like campgrounds and being near other people but the hosts here keep this place top notch. Bathrooms are clean and they enforce the rules. It was very pleasant, quiet, and wildlife wonder thru the camps, such as a doe and her 2 fawns. It's so nice that it is kept so clean and quiet. I appreciate it when rules are enforced.

Read until the end….Well, to start off, I am exploring the Flagstaff  lakes, sunsets, photography and fishing spots. I was so disappointed in several different areas of this park. Met at the gate by a man named Jerry, who all but almost refused me entry until I told him my boyfriend was already inside. After purchasing a day pass I still had nearly an hour. After using the facilities that were absolutely full of trash full of flies not cleaned all day. Took a half hour to drive to get through all the rough roads just get to the gate. Then a quick five minute walk and could have taken awesome pictures of the sunset and osprey if they would actually close the gate a small time after sunsets. Or offer some outside parking so that people can actually enjoy this so rare beauty.  I felt that even with an annual pass are they using it or pocketing it all? My boyfriend said the same sketchy and pushy obtrusive behavior has happened to him as well on Father’s Day. So sad that a so called state treasure isn’t being cared for. Consider getting cleaner workers with some longer hours. …. A  week later, we decided to go back but go through the other side… where we were met pleasantly by Shana and Eddie. Great host clean side of the park. Clean toilets. Very attractive lake with fish worth spending an afternoon.   Thank you Shana for changing the experience at your side of the lake… hey everyone go to the trailhead instead of the north side. Such a huge difference.

Absolute Nightmare. Avoid Dogtown Lake Campground at All Costs

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Dogtown Lake Campground is hands down the worst campground I’ve ever visited.

Let’s start with the so-called “hosts”   a couple who act like they’re playing campground instead of running one. They have no idea who’s coming in, who’s paid, or even who’s supposed to be there. There’s no system, no records, no professionalism. It’s like dealing with two forgetful kids who were left in charge of something way above their level.

The bathrooms? Horrific. They smell worse than hell  I’m not exaggerating. Just walking past them is enough to make your stomach turn. And good luck finding toilet paper or cleanliness.

As for the campground itself, don’t let the pictures fool you. It’s not beautiful  the grounds are poorly maintained, the lake is underwhelming, and the atmosphere feels more depressing than peaceful.

Skip this place. Save your time, money, and sanity. There are far better campgrounds in Arizona that are actually run by adults.

This locale.
Is unmatched by any spot in it's forest in my opinion. It's a moderate drive. Most vehicles can make it, no views better than dogtown, fun for the loaners to the whole family. I highly recommend if you want some nature, to go here and enjoy it.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds and lakes in AZ for fun, family time.

Place is beautiful even in the winter.  Would love to visit in the summer. Making plans for sure.

We went here in December. The campground was closed but the lake was open. Fishermen were fishing from the shore and in boats. Not sure if they were successful. The area is absolutely beautiful. Much larger lake than I figured it would be. Great family gathering area with several pavilions and outdoor grills. Picnic table a plenty.

Peaceful and beautiful setting. We saw 3 eagles and watched a rainstorm develop. There was a nice trail around the lake.

This place is amazing! #wholeinthewall the road is your typical dirt road to get there. Your trailer, car, truck, will be dirty for sure. Fishing was a drag so far. 3 days and nothing to show for. But campground is very clean quiet and super nice people who run the place. We will definitely be back. OH and for those who love disperse camping.... there is a ton of spots before the camp ground and it's BEAUTIFUL!!!
