great camping options for overlanders, impossible for any type of RV (unless they fix the road… even then, maybe not), & still only a possibility for car camping (depends on the vehicle). it may be worth your trouble if you plan to stay for a couple days. the road is pretty rough. there was no one in the campground (as far as we were told). but we didn’t make it that far with our loaded up van. we turned back around 3/4 of the 8mi route off the highway, stopped at a pull thru site overlooking the valley and overnighted there. we only saw 4 other vehicles, all SUVs who were either camping or coming down the mountain from some sort of day use. beautiful area, but needs serious road maintenance to make it more accessible.

Questions & Answers

Noticed this is walk-in only. I'll be driving in from the city leaving the city early Friday. Is it likely that I can get a spot in March?

If you can get there you will probably get a spot-if it is opened. I don't think it is opened yet. Also, accessing Dog Valley might not be possible unless you have a snowmobile. I just checked and the National Forest site https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/htnf/recarea/?recid=65264 says it opens in June. My experience is that it opens in June.
