About
Dogtown Lake Campground occupies a scenic setting in the ponderosa pine forest of Kaibab National Forest at 7,050 feet elevation. Named for the prairie dog towns that once populated the surrounding meadows, the lake now draws visitors for camping, fishing, and quiet recreation. The campground features 50 standard single sites, 4 double sites, and one group site accommodating up to 80 people. Sites offer both pull-through and back-in options for RVs. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, crappies, bluegill, and largemouth bass. A boat launch accommodates small watercraft with electric motors up to 10 horsepower; gasoline motors are prohibited. Swimming is not permitted. A guided nature trail near the lake and a hiking trail leading to a scenic overlook atop Davenport Hill provide opportunities for exploring the area's natural and cultural history. Facilities include vault toilets, potable water faucets, picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service. There are no showers, dump station, or utility hookups. The campground is operated by Recreation Resource Management of America under a Forest Service concession permit. Bears frequent the area, so proper food storage is required.
