    Dogtown Lake Campground And Group

    Great home base for Northern AZ

    Dogtown lake, named for the prairie dogs who inhibit the area, is a great little spot tucked away in the forest not far from Williams, AZ on Route 66. This is also a great jumping off point for the Grand Canyon and Bearizona. Perfect little spot for tent camping. Some do get trailers in, but I wouldn’t attempt it. Fun fishing spot and spacious sites.

    Kaibab National Forest

    Very nice place

    pretty flat and a bit rocky but easy to find a spot or clear a spot. Here end of April and lots of people here. Met someone who say she comes here often from Williams and safety never an issue. All wheel drive best. Great views!!!

    White Horse Lake Campground

    Summer Roadtrip Stop

    We chose this spot only because the Grand Canyon sites had all been booked for the week we came into Arizona. Bummer at first, until we got here and met Bob our host here at White Horse who was extremely accommodating in letting us choose our campsite and giving plenty of recommendations for nearby trails and the awesome Sycamore Canyon Falls that's very close by and has a drive up option to where you hike in only 1/2 a mile or less to see the falls. It's a good drive in from Williams, AZ which is the closest town from the campgrounds with Flagstaff, AZ being a good hour or so after you make it to the interstate, but well worth it. I'd recommend high clearance vehicles, but others would do just fine in my opinion. It's serene in our little site and there is a decent amount of distance from your closest neighbor. Restrooms are very close to campsites with running well water. Cement tables are my favorite and the short walk to the lake was an added plus. It's late July and it has rained 2 days in a row for us. It's been 65-70 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night, so definitely bring long sleeves and rain gear! Rain was plentiful from southern Arizona into central Utah. Will definitely be staying here again in the future!

    Garland Prairie Rd Dispersed Camping

    Good for the evening

    I stayed here a year ago and came back while passing through. Much better AT&T service this stay. You have your choice of wooden or sun filled sites. Dry camping with no services but just 10 minutes from Williams. Be respectful and kind and pack out your trash. Very quiet at night and didn’t have an issue locating a level spot during my stay.

    Railside RV Ranch

    Great location and staff

    The campground is right off of the highway. Close to the town of Williams and Route 66. Clean restrooms, showers, and laundry room. There is a nice dog park that is along the Grand Canyon railroad track. If we’re in the area again, will be staying here!

    Nice park, plenty of amenities, dog park, pull thru sites..close but not unbearable...plenty of room for tip outs..Close to Williams, hour drive to Grand canyon NP. Seems like there's abundant KOA bashing going on these days...This park is not one of them...
