Beautiful area, the bathrooms were clean and did not smell. This campground could use a dump site as the nearest one is at a campground that can't accommodate larger RVs

Great location. Close to plenty of hiking trails. Not to far from many of the local lakes.

Out camp host Donna was really helpful. We had four sites reserved for "hard core" campers and a few others that were staying in Christopher Creek Cabins nearby, but coming to the campground during the day. She made us all feel welcome and it was a great weekend outing for our group.

Sharp Creek is a wonderful campground for a quick getaway from Phoenix’s hustle and bustle and of course the heat.

Always clean and tidy. I love the friendly camp host this year, welcome back, we missed you! Thought it was going to be dry but the rain came and it was beautiful. New Solar panels worked fine, but I did make them portable so positioning was not a problem because of shade.

Very clean campground who is maintained by the sweetest older couple. Quiet, beautiful space. Fit our 37ft fifth wheel no problem. Very close to the rim and Forest Lake.

Pleasant camp hosts wiling to assist and answer any questions. Beautifully kept grounds as well. You can tell the camp hosts care about the property. We already booked 2 more trips to Sharp Creek!
