Avoid this campground like the plague. The hosts are scam artists.
Before making the reservation I confirmed what the definition of a vehicle is. I was assured it meant the RV itself. We reserved a group spot for two RVs. We showed up with one motor home and a vehicle in tow and the other motor home with a separate driven vehicle that was not towed in at that moment because we had disconnected it earlier. Upon arrival we were told we needed to pay an extra $10 per night for the extra vehicle that wasn’t in tow. We didn’t have the cash to pay for it and they wouldn’t accept credit cards. Had a mild argument with the guy about being assured it was fine for all our vehicles. We even fit all vehicles in the spot. We couldn’t pay the extra fee so we left, drove down the road about a mile and found a boondocking spot that was far superior to the campground. I will demand a refund for the misrepresentation of the spot. With great certainty that guy would have pocketed our $20. It was about him and nothing else. Screw this place and that guy. We are happier in this spot. Don’t stay at this campground. There are numerous boondocking spots on the road in. You will find something and it’ll be free and provide the same services as the campground… nothing.
In addition, after returning from our trip I asked for a refund since they didn't provide what was promised. The refund decision was up to the campground hosts. They decided it was ok to refund just one dollar.

It is a beautiful campsite, great staff who helped make sure we were all set and felt safe, and just the right amount of space. The one thing that could have made this campground perfect was if it had showers so a longer stay could be possible.

Great little campground. My kids love being next to the lake. It was crowded either.

We used Dogtown Lake Campground as a base for visiting Grand Canyon, Williams, Flagstaff and other sites in Northern Arizona. Dogtown served this purpose well. The campsites are spacious, clean and in most instances are shaded by trees. Each campsite has a fire ring and picnic bench. Additionally, level areas for tents are found in the campsite. As we pulled a camper, we booked a drive-through campsite. This was helpful.
The camping is dry (no water or electricity). However, potable water is available at each of the outhouses and garbage can be disposed at a designated garbage collection point. The road(s) into Dogtown are graded dirt roads - with many 'washboard' sections. I recommend using the road south of Williams (as you spend less time traveling on the dirt road).
The lake is pristine (although no swimming is allowed), the morning mountain air was intoxicating and the stars at night are close enough to touch. The camp hosts are friendly, kept the outhouses clean and made us feel very welcome.
