The campgroun is beautiful but the site that I reserved was ridiculously small. My tent wouldn't fit on the dirt, I would have had to put it on the paved parking spot. I didn't stay at my sight because of that. Thankfully I went with some friends and their site was big enough to accommodate two tents. My site was 72.

Campground is maintained and very easy to get to. The camp host was great- gave us the low down and was available if needed. I'll definitely be coming back!

Serene retreat into the San Bernardino Forest with hot showers whats not to like!
@AaronZ654C3DB2 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #11
I visited during the gov shut down, I assume the the camp was maintained by the host. They were working constantly and the restroom next to my spot was very clean.

We enjoyed our site. It was spacious and we were able to fit 2 4-person tents. the facilities were kept clean, and the site had a perfect view of the night-time sky. we loved that this site is only 2 hours away so easy to get away for a short weekend trip. The grounds were kept clean. Just the showers were not working near our area, but not a biggie for a 2-day trip. We especially enjoyed camp hose "Dave" and also Donna (who checked us in). She was so helpful as the last time we met, we had to literally turn around and go back home since it started to snow as we drove up to the campground. She remembered us and share several tips to help us get our bearings for the campground. We will definitely visit again :-)

@MarinaF2DB2832 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #34
We always love staying at Dogwood campground. The campsites, are always spacious, restrooms are always clean, and they have great trails for everyone. If you prefer an electric lot I recommend lot number 18, 19, and 94. If you dont mind a non-electric lot I recommend lot 34 and 71 lots of privacy.
@AmandaE790DD2B · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #64
Nice area but very small and hilly. we probably couldve fit one more tent if it was allowed.
@GeorgeE4018873 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #57
Great site, great staff. a couple of the bathrooms and shower sites did not work so ask before booking if that is important to you. Overall a great time
@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #87
The camping area is well maintained and the site hosts were very friendly and helpful. We plan to continue our camping trips for next year.
@NicoleC4478336 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #90
As always my family loves coming to this campground. We go at least 4 times a year. I love the peacefulness the wildlife, the hoking trails and the campgrounds. The restrooms are clean. The staff is very friendly. The camp sites are clean. The campground is close to restaurants and shopping centers but still tucked away to really connect with nature. We will defiantly come once the season opens up again.

This was the cleanest campground I have ever stayed in and the camp hosts were super friendly and accommodating
@DenaB5642063 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #82
Dogwood is a beautiful campground. Big spacious campsites, quiet at night, clean bathrooms. Camp Host and staff were all lovely. Sweet little hiking trail through the campground. Close to Lake arrowhead if you wanna grab food or forgot anything at the store.
@QingfengLD2085 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #59
Well maintained site, has shade, phone signal works. The closest restroom and showers were closed during our stay.
@HeatherB577142 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #24
This is our favorite campground. The staff is friendly and helpful and the grounds are well maintained.
@CathyM5656797 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #90
Great campsite with plenty of space! Very well-kept, definitely more catered to big family groups as it can get loud with kids playing and crying/screaming
@KimberlyR15639 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #93
Beautiful and clean location. Highly recommend.
@LisaC6980823 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #22
Beautiful campground and perfect weather the end of September/beginning of October. The bathroom and showers are clean. The entire campground is well kept and I enjoyed the birds and squirrels. I will come here again.
@GrantO76689431 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #75
Overall great experience. Very clean grounds. Great sites. Good location close to downtown arrowhead. Will be back!
@LynetteM95EBA8 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #85
We needed a late night check in and I supposed I was to go to the front gate kiosk. The camp staff was so kind to bring it to our site. We extended our stay and AGAIN the staff brought the ticket to our site. 100% great!!!
@BenjaminC59270 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #94
Very nice staff, campground is beautiful surrounded by trees clean space and bathrooms, been there couple of times, always good times.
@NATHANLDF92A63 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #91
This now becomes one of our favorite campsites! Campground is nice, clean, and well-maintained, this including restrooms and bathrooms! We stayed at site 91 and its across from the restroom and not too far from the bathroom on the other side. Theres limited cellular signal at this spot which I like as we get here to escape the busy city life. Overall, it was a great stay and definitely come back!
@JoyceH5429380 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #24
Beautiful shady campground. Hot showers (no quarters needed) and very helpful staff. The electrical hookups don't include water. Best to know this going in

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
