It was my first trip to Dogtown Lake Campground. It is an out-of-the-way place with beautiful scenery and very well-maintained. The dirt road to Dogtown Lake is rough, so take your time. We traveled from Las Vegas to Williams, AZ, via Interstate 40. It was harsher than the road to Dogtown Lake, and I started calling it the Pete Buttigieg Interstate. The campground host at Dogtown Lake recommended we go back to Las Vegas on Route 66, which connects to the 40 just passed Ashland; which is a smoother road, a little longer route, but it worked out very well.

This campground was very well kept. The sites were clean and the area was very quiet. The fish were biting and the crawfish were plentiful. Great experience.
