We stayed in our 20 ft. RV over the Fourth of July weekend to avoid the firecracker craziness in Tucson that frightens our dog. What a pleasure to have the quiet forest to walk our dog and ride our bikes! We thought it might be extremely busy, but our campsite was very private and people were very respectful. Will definitely be back! The camp hosts and personnel at the front gate were helpful and nice.

James and Joyce maintain these sites well. We camp here every summer and the bathrooms were the cleanest they've ever been in the past few years we've camped here. Trash is taken out daily and bathrooms restocked with toilet paper. We can't wait to come back next year! Thanks!

I have to give props to the staff well most of the staff with the exception of one was amazing they're a wonderful it was nice to meet the other campers went fishing got a lot of bites A few people were catching fish. It was nice to meet the other people fishing. But I want to give a special thanks to this one particular man he was on the golf cart and he checked on me for I was camping alone and that was very nice and he conversated with me and made my stay peaceful and worth it I don't remember his name but I did tell him I was going to write a review and I'm sorry I don't remember your name but I just you know who you are and I want to say thank you for everything you made my stay a pleasant stay and I will be back.

The area offers a nice respite from the summer heat of the Tucson area. My campsite, although near the bathroom offered no privacy from the neighbor camper. The parking spot was barely large enough for my Subaru. I would not select this campsite again, should I return.
