Our first time and we had such a great stay here! The campground was clean and well maintained. The reservation process was super easy. The views are absolutely beautiful made the whole experience even better. Our camp host was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Would not recommend for solo trips or inexperienced campers. No cell service at all, no staff (host only), all sites are self-pay, there is a high chance of encountering bears, and the road is even rockier than it seems. Very remote site. Would be good for groups or RVs, especially if you want to spend time out at the reservoir and see the stars!

Rock Crossing is one of our favorite AZ campgrounds! The campground is well maintained and very clean, there is easy access to hiking (AZ trail) and kayaking/fishing (Blue Ridge Reservoir). Campground hosts and rangers are accessible and friendly.

this is just about a perfect campground. clean, nice spaces (several pull thru), clean toilets, incredible views. only 2 mi from Blue Ridge Reservoir - kayaker's dream. Al was great about stopping by with the latest weather report and promised to let me know if it was going to get crazy. this is probably one of the best sites in the campground.

We have been coming to this beautiful campground for over 30 years. We decided to bring our 2 young grandchildren visiting from California so they could enjoy the outdoors with us. There had been lots of monsoons, so it was wet but still gorgeous. Unfortunately,, there were 2-3 campsites who appeared to be related and decided riding their ATV's inside the campground over and over was okay. I stopped the camp host and asked if this was permitted as I had never experienced this. He said they were allowed if they went the speed limit (mph) and they abided by the one-way direction. I was shocked. There was a young boy, 9 years) on one ATV and another adult from another site. The boy was going at least 20 mph and would rev the ATV once just past our site in 24-A. I believe they were in site 19. The Camp Host site is on the complete opposite side. The camp host stated he would talk with them but nothing changed. After 2 days of this, we were forced to leaver after just 2 days of our planned trip. This was a very disappointing trip, and we will not return.

Camp host was not friendly.
The campground itself was in excellent condition.

Our family of 6 stayed in spot 31 at Rock Crossing. We had plenty of space! The campgrounds were all well maintained. The vault toilets remained clean for our stay. It rained heavily during our stay and there was no flooding. We kayaked during our stay and the water was a very short drive from our site. We will definitely be back! *If you have small kids, make sure you pick a spot on the inside (not on the ridge) but definitely walk them over to see how breathtaking the scenery is!

Clean restrooms, super quiet, beautiful area. We were there Monday through Friday. We rode our bikes, took the paddle boards to the reservoir, hiked part of the AZT, and hiked Rock Crossing trail ( beautiful trail that goes to the reservoir). Fantastic trip! Highly recommend.
