Pleasant small campground. Campsite was decently shaded, paved, and fairly level, it worked well for our 29 foot travel trailer. Restrooms were kept clean. Campground host was very nice. Lake is close by. Our primary complaint is that the campground is within sight and sound of the only primary highway.

We loved Sinkhole for its smaller size and proximity to both Willow Spring lake and Woods Canyon lake. We particularly liked the section with the first come camp sights. The one thing to watch for is that a few of the sites are double sites. That wasn’t obvious to me as I was looking to book the reservable sites. We ended up moving to a single site.
The camp host, Sharon was wonderful! Very helpful.

Although there were no flush toilets, the bathrooms were very clean along with the entire campground. The camp host was very friendly and nice. It was only 1/2 mile off highway but could not hear the traffic since it was down in the tall pines. 3/4 mile, nice walk, to Willow Springs Lake which was gorgeous! Felt safe and will stay again!

Great location and a wonderful host at this campsite. Took the wilderness trail that is located right next to the campground and saw some wildlife on a easy relaxing hike.

I have camped up on the Mogollon Rim many times. But this is the first time I camped out at the Sinkhole Campground next to the Willow Springs Lake. I was originally going to camp at the Gila Hot Springs campground, in New Mexico. But with the Black Fire only 10 miles or so from the campground, I changed venues! I was lucky to find a spot in such a short time. I found only one camp site and that was at the Sinkhole Campground.
Overall - this campground is wonderful. The setting, facilities, and camp host (Sharron) were perfect. The lake is incredible!
You can see a short video I put together of my trip on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF-pkgjBH5c
The only down side to this particular campground is that it is almost on top of Highway 260. So you hear a great deal of road traffic.

Other than that - I would highly recommend this camp site!
