Very remote, quiet campground, (4 RV sites) no cell service, but an unexpected surprise WiFi courtesy of the NPS!

Bathrooms here were very nice and well maintained. Flush toilets and sinks. The campground even has a sink to wash dishes in. Campsite 9 had nice shade over the table area and the the tent space was flat and smooth. Campsites are close together is the only negative. Views of the surroundings and the night sky was fantastic.

Dog Canyon is a wonderful small campground with access to several hiking trails wit great natural diversity and varying degrees of challenge. The camp wifi was a big plus since cell coverage is miles away. The drive on Guadalupe rim road is spectacular. Just be aware that just about any other amenity is a 2 hour drive away!

The flies were so bad you couldn't breathe without inhaling one! I'm sure there is some form of pest control that can assist with this pestilence. Anything is better than nothing!
