There weren’t any amenities, but that is why we stayed there. The host was great. We were relocated due to the Flat fire and even that worked out good.

We weren’t able to camp here because of an evacuation due to a nearby fire. However, staff did call us and let us know what was going on, and arranged for us to stay at another campground nearby (Canyon Point). I appreciate the phone call and the care taken to set us up in another spot.

Wonderful camp host. Shared a lot of info with me about the area. Hiked around the lake and got pretty close to the wild horses. The bathrooms were spotless and well maintained. Loved my very private campsite.

I had a wonderful time at this campground for Memorial Day weekend. I was impressed and happy how spaced out the campsites were from one another (compared to other developed campgrounds). Host is very friendly, bathrooms maintained and you hardly hear the traffic from the 260. I would definitely recommend this campground to anyone and look forward to revisiting. ✌🏾

We met up with friends from Flagstaff so great in between location. The actual camping sites were very rocky and our site did not have shade but it was spacious for parking both car and camper and our solar got plenty of sunshine.
We had good/average reception for texting and email.
The bathrooms were SPOTLESS and no odors at all.
The only real negative was a very loud group of campers that ramped it up as the night went on.

Beautiful campground - so much space! It really feels like dispersed camping with the ample space between campsites.
Regarding cell phone service - my AT&T phone had full services throughout (2 bar average), my car's hot spot worked easily when used. My work phone (T-Mobile) did show as CellOne while at the campsite, but had full service (not needed).

The road in really needs work, but the campground itself was well maintained. We were the only large rig during our stay -- 30-foot travel trailer -- but we encountered no issues due to size. The camp host was very helpful and cordial.
