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.

Such a great place. Took our oldest daughter (5 years old) on her first camping trip up here. Very well kept and such nice people around. Lots of things to see and go do all in close range. And major stores in Payson are only about 30 minutes away. Perfect spot.

Great campsite. Tall tree cover and situated tucked back from the road. Clean bathrooms and upkeep of grounds. Potable water at entrance. Dumpsters free to paid campers. Fire ring and picnic table available at each site. Bring firewood in. Great experience! I'll be back.

Great location, on the smaller side which was great. Host is very friendly and helpful. Location is a bit close to the road so be mindful of that if that’s something that could bother you. Traffic wasn’t that bad in my opinion but something to note. Will come back again!

We love this campground! The spacing between the camp sites is great. Has the feel of dispersed camping but within a campground with a vault toilet.
No amenities but purely great viewing of the stars with only our campfire for light and the forest feel is wonderful. Loved laying in my hammock with my book and a pillow. Only stayed for two nights but it was a nice recharge for the week ahead.
It is our second year of coming here and we look forward to next year. We are tenters so it got a little too cold for me at night in mid September but just means more blankets next time, because the daytime temps are perfect!
