Join us for our annual outing to the most beautiful campground in the San
Bernardino Mountains July 25-27, 2014!

many activities? If so, then you'll enjoy camping in the US Forest Service's Dogwood Campground. The
Dogwood Campground is located off the main highway through the Lake Arrowhead area, the National
Scenic Byway called "Rim of the World Drive" (California Route 18). Situated away from the noise of
the busy highway...nestled down a narrow, but nicely
nicely-paved
paved spur road...the campground truly feels "away
from it all" when you're within its boundar
boundaries.

And just a short 10 minute drive away will take you to the shopping pleasures of Lake Arrowhead Village,
where you'll find cute little boutiques (and even some factory outlet stores) to expl
explore,
ore, take a cruise on
the beautiful Lake Arrowhead, or stock up on necessities.
Located in a densely wooded area with tall conifers and lush undergrowth, this
campground offers very clean restrooms, which feature flush toilets and showers with cold and hot
ho
running water, and lots of nature trails leading in and out of the campground!
