Houston Mesa

Really nice place, we enjoyed our stay.

The camp host is super friendly and efficient. The sites are nice and the restrooms were cleaner than most. Aside from a little traffic noise, the campsite is convenient, easy to get to, easy to make runs to store for ice or whatnot, and a lot more dense in trees than we would have expected, so you feel you are more separated from your neighbors than some other campgrounds we've been to. We bring a portable/chargeable speaker and just play white noise in our tent to drown out any traffic noise when sleeping. The last time we went, we were visited by some bees for a short bit while cooking breakfast, but not the previous time we were there a couple of weeks ago. This time, we just moved our water jug away from our picnic table and they left. During the hotter part of the day, go to Wagon Wheel waterfall about 15 min away---can cool off in the cold water and hike for great exercise. Then, do yourself a favor and get takeout from the Bucket of Spaghetti place in Payson for dinner... and be sure to get the meatballs! Made for a great camping meal (and easy cleanup!). We will definitely be back again.....and again.

I love this campground SO MUCH. It is clean and quiet. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were closed, but that was expected. Appreciated actually. It is close by a road and a 10 minute drive to town so I was not too worried about bears. I will definitely be coming back. THANK YOU.

Very clean and maintained

I really enjoyed this campground (Mountain Lion Loop #21). Host is so kind and always available to help. Campsites are spaced out nicely and big enough for all your camping stuff. Will return when it cools down.

Be careful to camp close to the road. We didn't sleep at all because of the car traffic and the plane noises in the morning.
Well maintained, but the noises ruins everything.

Way too loud way too late. People up to at least 1:30-2am with loud music and loud talking. Camp sites close together. Other than that great site very clean camp host try to get people to quit down but they did not listen. Clean bathroom and site good cell service with AT&T

the only bad thing was the restrooms wear very dirty , its ok for us guys but the girls couldn't use it at all , they couldn't even get inside because of the bad smell!!!

We were so glad to be able to reserve and pay for our site online. We are in a high risk group for the covid virus. We felt very safe
planning our camping trip. We just pulled up and parked, did not have to interact with anyone else. The camp hosts were wearing masks. They were so sweet to wait until we went for a walk to stop by and leave our vehicle tags and park information sheets.
It was a great change of scenery!

I really liked this campground, it was clean, the spots had lots of room..Lots of trees, however I was in Elk loop and hated the traffic noise..
