RV camping limited to 4 places in a gravel car park also used by hikers. We had to use all our leveling blocks to get our class B level.
The park this side is much quieter and the hiking is good.... needs a decent loop trail though.

This place is one of the best spots we’ve ever camped at!! Quiet, secluded, and great access to trails! The views from the campground are beautiful, and you’re surrounded by nature; we saw countless deer, turkeys, and birds. We fully recommend a stay here!

A beautiful peaceful place to enjoy nature including the nice size herd of deer to say good morning to. Seven was a life saver filing my van tire with air. He directed me down the mountain to Forrest tire where I got it fixed and back on the road in an hour. He also directed me to the Gila Wilderness that was spectacular. Jeffrey was so kind, and professionally handled the situation when my spot was occupied upon arrival. I will recommend this Dog Canyon to all my fellow wanderers!

Really liked how secluded this campground was compared to the more popular Pine Springs campground. I’m not implying it was better, just more laid back. They both were great experiences. If you do decide to visit Dog Canyon, don’t forget to visit Sitting Bull Falls.

Not much to do not much to say!
We would like to get a ride on a mule with a guide, but nothing is possible.
Too far for new visitor with a very bad road
