Perfect space for family camping trip. Water, electricity, and wifi available 🤩 Jason, our host, was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. This spot is also close to a really nice lake! About 15-20 min walk to the lake or 5min by car.

What a great campground! Plenty of space for you and your friends to set up tents with enough space in between for privacy even! Porta-potty was clean and well-maintained. Plenty of branches and wood you can grab around for a campfire, and you can even buy some from Jason if you prefer the convenience. Easy to find and great communication with Jason as well. And access to the cute lake is definitely a plus!
Love the outdoor shower as well but the addition of a small curtain for extra privacy would be extra perfect!
All in all it was a great home base for our Winnemuca lake hike; highly recommended!

Homey, quirky and comfy! This was our first experience with Arnold - and the Dogwood Cabin is great centralized home base for all-season fun.

Jason was an awesome host and the site was great. Plenty of space for people to spread out their tents. We had about 10, feel like you could have at least 20 easy. Plenty of firewood available, ac power, water, clean porta potty also available. The fire pit is kinda close to one of the houses on the property but it doesn’t feel intrusive at all. All the tent spots are very secluded. Jason’s lake permit turned out to be super handy. Even when day use was full, we were let right in with the pass. Jason was super helpful with giving tips on where to go on the lake or nearby restaurants etc. We had a great time at the lake during the day and partied through the night at the campsite. Jason was so chill and friendly. If you have a large group of people you’re trying to get together for a camping party, this is a great spot to do it at.

What a great three days we spent onJason’s land. I really needed a restful mini vacation with my dog, and Jason’s policy of renting to only one group at a time meant we had the entire campground to ourselves. The woods are beautiful and peaceful, and they provide just enough in the way of amenities to make camping really easy and comfortable. One note for those traveling with dogs: the lake that you can hike to doesn’t allow dogs to swim, so while it’s a great hike and a beautiful lake, don’t count on it for relief from the heat for your dog if you camp in hot weather. We drove an hour to South Lake Tahoe one day when it was projected to be 93 in Pollock Pines.

Jason was the best host ever, I never leave reviews but the way he went out of his way to make us feel welcome and at home he deserves 10000/100 review. The campsite was great, tons of different spaces for tents we had 13 tents and our group had about 20 adults plus a few kids and it was more than enough space. Not too far from the lake, great outdoor space for hiking as well. There was showers, bathroom, fire pit, fire wood, he provided trash bags, toilet paper and so much more. If you’re looking for a great camping space for a large group this is the place and Jason is the best!

I love camping on Jason’s land. It feels very private and safe. I can leave all of my equipment there and go to the lake without worrying about whether my gear will be there when I return.
The hose and outlet right near the camping table is super convenient. I also appreciated the firewood provided so we didn’t have to haul any with us.
However, the best thing about camping on Jason’s land is the host. Forgot something? Just ask, he might have it. Need local information? He has that too. And he is very easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend camping at Jason’s place.

We had an amazing weekend at this cozy cabin! From the start, Robin was an incredible host, he provided detailed and thoughtful information about the cabin, which made everything so easy. The directions were clear, and check-in was seamless. The cabin itself was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our dog had the time of his life exploring and lounging around … he probably enjoyed it more than we did! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-hosted getaway.

We had such an amazing stay at Jason and Steve’s camping spot! Although we arrived pretty late due to heavy traffic, Jason went above and beyond and even had a cozy campfire waiting for us – such a thoughtful and kind gesture that made us feel so welcome right away.
Both Jason and his Uncle Steve were incredibly helpful, friendly, and easy to talk to. It was truly a pleasure to meet them. The campsite itself was clean, beautiful, and had everything we needed.
The surrounding forest and the lake are absolutely magical – peaceful and full of natural beauty. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and very grateful for the experience.
We will definitely be coming back – this place and these hosts are something special. Thank you again, Jason and Steve!

This campsite was awesome. There were tons of shady spots to set up tents. Plenty of space around the fire pit too, so it never felt cramped and made hanging out really comfortable.
The area is super pretty, with tall trees all around and a super peaceful vibe. And it's just a short hike down to Jenkinson Lake. The water was nice and cool, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. A perfect spot to chill or take a swim. We brought some collapsible kayaks and were able to paddle around the the little islands out there.
At night, the sky is insane. A million stars twinkling overhead. You can see the milky way. Absolutely stunning.
Jason was super cool and easygoing. His directions were clear and easy to follow, which made getting there no problem at all. He even let us use his parking pass for the lake, which made it super easy to get the kayaks on the water.
We were too busy have such a good time that we ended up taking so few pictures, but I feel like even the best pictures wouldn't do it justice. Easily a 10 out of 10. Would totally recommend.

3 nights at Dog Woods
This is a great cabin, private and hidden in the trees, and well appointed indoors. Minutes from Calaveras Big Trees and dining, other amenities in Arnold. The cabin is cozy, quirky and came supplied with everything one could need, including wood for the delightful woodburning stove. Have stayed twice, highly recommended.
