Bradywgn71 746 Posted September 6, 2022 We ran the roads from the longer entry from the KOA (exit 167 from the I-140) and from Williams downtown (exit 163). The road from the KOA side is not good for RVs or taller trailers. Significant low hanging trees, several lovely deep drainage ditches, and one large mud hole. We recommend if you are coming with a trailer or RV to go to Williams downtown and then out the tar road to get to Dogtown lake. The dirt from this side is also shorter and no mud or low hanging branches. Just watch out for the people flying out from the campground. When you are leaving if you want to dump your RV or trailer the Circle Pines KOA (exit 167) will let you dump for a $15 fee. There is a free dump at the Loves Truck stop as well but that place is typically way too crazy to pull a trailer or RV into. Other observations: We noticed several mosquitos even in the heat of the day so bring bug spray. They had wood for sale from the camp hosts. Bring extra drinking water. Not seeing much in the way of potable water. Looking forward to seeing everyone. We will be arriving early into one of the few spots that can fit us on Thursday. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzJeepChic 2,512 Posted September 7, 2022 The campground managing company called me with some important information, so I made a couple updates to the 1st post: Campground amenities include vault toilets, water and garbage bins. (Original post stated flush toilets) 😢 FYI the spigots in the campground don't work right now, but there is a large tank of water where you can fill up a container to use in camp. Firewood is available for sale at the camp host. Proceeds benefit Dogtown Lake, a non-profit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be coming in via Williams based on your advice. I plan to leave the valley early and hope to be up there around 10 to 11 AM-ish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take care, see you next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
