Dog Canyon Campground

Trail to Lost Peak was great. Nice and quiet campsite. Clean bathrooms were a plus.

Very remote. Beautiful views. The pad for the site is fairly small - 1 tent only. The wind would pick up in the mornings making it very difficult to cook. Great hiking!

No cell or GPS service at all. Was there over 4th of July and not crowded. Many empty tent pads. Very quiet. Stop by Sitting Bull Falls on your way in or out. Well worth the 7 mile side trip. Fill your tank before heading to Dog Canyon, no gas for over 100 miles.

Dog Canyon is pretty remote for car camping in the lower 48 states. We saw mule deer as usual, but this time we also saw a herd of wild goats on our 13-mile loop hike, two wild pigs. Very windy the first two nights there, and then the 3rd night of our full week there, the wind settled down at about midnight. But know that it does get windy. There were only a handful of people until a larger group came from Texas Tech. With only 1 male and 1 female toilet and sink in the campground, and no showers, you have to sponge bathe if you want to be there for a week. Campers need to be aware that that should not be done just before it gets dark or first thing in the morning...just not fair to tie up the bathroom at high-traffic times of day. Do not expect to see a ranger during your stay, and there was no campground host either. Be self-sufficient in every way. But we love it here and will keep coming back year after year.

The campground was beautiful and well-maintained. We appreciated having access to WiFi (available at the ranger’s station). The various trails offered scenic and easy to moderately strenuous hikes. This was our third camping trip to Dog Canyon, and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay each time.

Wonderful remote campground with water and flush toilets. WiFi was available on the porch of the ranger station; there is no cell service out here. Had a skunk and a couple javelinas come visit our site.
