About
National Forest
Kaibab National Forest
Overview
White Horse Lake is an extremely popular fishing lake, 19 miles southeast of Williams, in northern Arizona. The lake's campground is conveniently located an hour from Grand Canyon National Park's south rim and surrounded by the exciting and diverse scenery of Kaibab National Forest. A number of forest attractions are nearby, including scenic overlooks, dams and hiking and mountain biking trails. White Horse also offers a place to enjoy beverages and snacks provided by The Bear Shack.
Recreation
In addition to fishing, the area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and wildlife watching. Anglers seek out Large Mouth Bass, Crappie and Bluegill.
Facilities
White Horse Lake boasts more than 90 single unit campsites with tables, campfire rings, grills and tent pads. There is also a large group site that can accommodate up to 60 visitors, several double sites, tent-only sites and accessible sites. Tents, trailers and motorhomes up to 38 ft. long can be accommodated. There are many amenities offered to campers, including water faucets, a small boat ramp, restrooms, and trash bins.
Natural Features
Kaibab National Forest is nestled on the Colorado Plateau, an area of land that was uplifted by geologic processes. Dogtown Lake sits at an elevation of 6,600 feet, and the campground is forested with plenty of open areas. Wildlife such as deer and elk frequent the shoreline. Summer temperatures range from 50 degrees at night to 80-90 degrees during the day. Summer thunderstorms, known as the monsoon, can build up quickly, especially during July and August. Snow is common from December through March.

Nice and quiet
Nice and quiet area. Roads leading to the lake are washboard dirt roads. Easy to get through in any vehicle. Lake is small. No swimming. Kayaking and paddle boarding allowed. Fishing is supposed to be good. Campsites are set up nice. Some shadier than others. Gets buggy in morning and dusk.

Great camp; terrible road.
One of the best national park campgrounds we've ever been to. But getting here was 10 miles of pure hell. The absolute worst road ever. Worse than any boondocking site we've ever been to.
We are in site E86 and it is beautiful. A bit far from the lake. A loop looks like the best sites for lake view.
No services. Toilets and drinking water available. Cannot fill your RV.
There is a food truck with snacks and kayak and canoe rentals.
Nice place but will not endure that road again to stay here.
Diamond amongst the trees
White Horse Lake / campground is simply awesome. The road in can be a little rough at times but is generally ok. The campgrounds are well laid out, the spacing is pretty good. The restrooms are always clean. There can be loud music in the evenings but that goes with the territory of campgrounds.
There is a lot to do here, fishing, kayaking/canoeing, lots and lots of hiking. You can hike to the edge of Sycamore Canyon by following the trails that lead NW from the lake. This is an easy hike and would be great for all ages. Sycamore Falls just NW of the lake is a great hike, one of my favorites. Especially when the water is running with force.
There are generally activities planned by the rangers - all in all a great place to spend a few days.
