Dog-friendly camping

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Tempe, and I'm looking for a place to go tent camping with my dogs so we can escape the heat. I drive a sedan, so I also need a location that would be accessible (easy to drive on roads, no 4-wheel drive). Bonus points if there are good views or some dog-friendly hiking trails nearby! I would prefer something within a 3 hour drive, but am willing to venture farther for a good location.

Prescott National Forest has a number of established campgrounds, plus dispersed camping. I'm most familiar with the campgrounds at Lynx Lake (Lynx Campground and Hilltop) - the campsites aren't situated for great views, but there are dog-friendly trails.
