This was the first time camping with my daughter.  The campground is located in the San Bernardino National Forest and is a pretty good campground.  Some sites are better than others as in any campground.  This particular site was well secluded, but didn't have a good flat spot to pitch a tent on.  It did have lots of shade though, which is a plus during the summer months.

My youngest one also had his first camping experience at Dogwood.  We had a different campsite which was flatter, larger but just as secluded from other campers as the last one.  We decided to take two tents this time; the new one that we had, plus our two person backpacking tent which my daughter and I had purchased in Sequoia National Park.  The campsite was good except for its proximity to Arrowhead High School.  The football team doing warm-ups on an early August morning was loud enough to wake the dead.
