The site was remote and a little tough to get to with my trailer. Hikes were challenging and beautiful. Facilities were working well. No ranger present so I wasn't able to get my NP Stamp for the area. Overall a very nice experience.

Beautiful, quiet setting. Plenty of options for activities in the area (hiking, driving, birding, etc.) Small RV sites are nice as they keep out the overbearing domineering types. Bathrooms were always clean, wifi signal always available at the ranger station. I hope to return sometime.

Dog Canyon is a beautiful, very isolated campground on the North edge of the national park. There are only 4 RV sites, for rather small RVs, and about 10 very nice tent sites, for which you need to park the car on the neighboring parking lot. The surroundings of the campground are gorgeous! Keep in mind that hiking trails from the campground are rather long and steep up. There is a short nature trail mostly on flat terrain. The night sky is breathtaking!

Nice campground. Heated restrooms. WiFi at visitor center. Love all the mule deer in camp. Tight quarters for RVers but it was still great.

Definitivamente un lugar hermoso, lleno de visitantes (venados) y el mejor spot para ver las estrellas en todo su esplendor, el nico detalle fue que el aire era tan fuerte que no nos dejaba dormir totalmente, por la maana fue imposible cocinar, asi que optaria por revisar en esa area como estara el aire por la noche, pero en verdad el lugar es muy hermoso y definitivamente volveriamos

Dog Canyon is a small, unique campground in a beautiful setting. There are only 4 RV sites and the length of the sites is accurate on the website. Don't bring an RV or trailer unless you are sure it fits into the dimensions described on the reservation information. The campground is approximately 55 miles off of the main highway so I would definitely recommend staying for at least two nights. The tent area is treed but the sites are not private. Whether you stay in a tent or in an RV, I would only recommend coming to this campground if you want to enjoy quiet, night skies and the beautiful setting. Both the tent and RV areas are small so be considerate of your neighbors. There are a few trailheads out of Dog Canyon but if you are going to do any extended hikes from this area you should be prepared with a good map - not the one in the park brochure - and compass. The staff here are very nice and will help you in any way possible. The volunteer at the ranger station was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We got a restaurant recommendation from one of the maintenance staff for a barbecue restaurant along the route to our next destination in a small community named Cloudcroft. The barbecue was amazing.

The campground is so far out of the way, so secluded, that even though it was full on the weekend, it seemed very quiet and calm. It's fairly sheltered from the winds that can kick up, and offers beautiful sunrises and sets. My only wish would be for more hiking trails leading out of the camp.
