Dogwood

Site 046 was very good. It was close to potable water and restrooms. It was not close to trash receptacles. Three sides of the camp site are private with only one side facing a neighboring campsite. The road next to the site was not busy at all and I hardly noticed the vehicle traffic when it did pass by. There is plenty of space for a large family with a flat spot large enough for a 10-person tent. There is also an opening in the tree canopy that afforded great views of the night sky. A camp host site is only a few minute walk down the road for an added feel of security. My only issue were the yellow jackets. The came out as soon as we started cooking breakfast and pretty much made it impossible to enjoy our food. There are bee traps around the site. However, they did not seem very effective. Overall, I would highly recommend Dogwood Family Campground and site # 046.

One of the cleanest campgrounds that I've ever stayed at. For the city people... yes, they have free hot showers (no coins or quarters needed!), bring your own shampoo and soap. The bathrooms are quiet large and have soap and running toilets. Some campsites (83-89 and a few others) have electricity hook ups (two 110v 15amps house style outlets + 30A RV outlet). Almost every campsite had a ton of shade and trees. There is potable / drinking water all throughout the campground. The staff is wonderful, they enforce quiet hours (10pm-6am) if you notify them of anyone breaking the rules (such as blasting music beyond 10pm). I'd say that in most campgrounds driveways, you can park 3 or maybe 4 cars and most should fit a pick-up truck + mid size trailer. There is a hiking trail in the campsite, but it's quite rocky, i wouldn't call it kid friendly. Nearby activities: Lake Arrowhead Village, Strawberry Peak Fire Lookout (free), Keller Fire Lookout (also free, a longer drive but amazing 360 degree views), Big Bear Village, Skypark / Santa village (not cheap), Alpine Slide (lots of fun for kids and adults), Big Bear discovery center.

very clean and nice,

Everything we needed for a first timer, novice camping trip. Site was well equipped with bear Lockhart, fire pit and grill, picnic table, well nearby, and firewood for sale (2 bundles/evening was perfect). Staff was very helpful and our campsite felt private and secluded as sites were well spaced out. Some trails near the site. The campground is also close enough to town/a grocery store in case you forget anything. Will return!

Beautiful campground with very clean restrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The host were all friendly and very helpful.

Trees Trees and more beautiful trees! Large spacious sites. Hosts are on top of cleaning and maintenance. Some sites are not level and ours was like that ONLY issue was the tent location-very close to where another camper set theirs and we could hear them snoring! But that’s where the flattest location was for site 39! Luckily not keeping me from sleeping. The other thing is a female host that is aggressive in her perception of how big a piece of wood s/b! If it’s the same host then she’s consistent at least; in 2019 someone else reviewed “her” in this light! All in all it’s a great campsite and the hosts take care of it well and it’s very peaceful and beautiful! (This site does include some noise from the HS and light road traffic but if you pretend it’s the ocean it’s all good lol!).

Always a great time at dogwood campground. It’s in an easy access location but more quiet than you’d expect

We had an awesome 2 week stay in the forest at Dogwood campground.
I would like to give a special THANK YOU to the following super hard working and friendly employees, who made our stay extra nice.
Thank you Dan, Karen, and Pete who worked long hard hours to insure the campsites, roads, and bathrooms were always spotless!
Thank you Regina who always ran the entry shack with a smile, and for delivering firewood directly to our campsite.
We have been RVers for 35 years, and have never found a cleaner or friendlier federal campground which is saying a lot!!
The campground management, and more importantly the guests are lucky to have all of you on staff.....
