The campground and sites were clean. The bathroom was always clean and stocked- the volunteers frequently stopped by to check on the facilities.

We had a great time at this campground and we will come back- try a site on the outer loop. Our only grudge was our camp neighbors ran their generator all day, so that was a nuisance. The campground is a short drive to the reservoir, where you can launch non-motorized watercraft.

I heard about this spot on social media and they talked about road conditions …we have a RAV4 and tent camp so was concerned. I found that info to be false the roads were easy to travel. Campsites were the cleanest and most level we have seen. We were in site 26 and it was wonderful set back from the road, beautiful open in the back and on the left side. We were there a Sunday-Friday and almost had the campground to ourselves. The vault bathrooms were clean and air fresheners made them pleasant. We walked a part of the Arizona Trail which was a pleasant hike. We didn’t go on the reservoir but would consider it the next time we go. Water table is way low so would need to carry or pull kayak and we are elderly so will consider. It looked so peaceful and I would love to experience this river like reservoir. I highly recommend this camp site and if full there is lots of nice dispersed camping near by. Beautiful and peaceful.

We had a great time at this campground. The 2 camp hosts were amazing and very knowledgeable of the area. The bathrooms were cleaned every morning like clockwork. I would definitely stay here again. And for those of you wondering about cell service, I had 1 bar of LTE (Verizon) and pretty much most of the campground and could barely send a text or make a call, which was perfect for me since I needed to get away from the electronics.
