We love sharp creek but I’ve always felt that at the end of juniper loop should be a small playground it’s unused space and it would add a lot for children

This was the perfect area for us to escape the Phoenix valley and spend time in the woods. Site was clean and spacious.

We have camped at this site for years. Bathrooms are always clean; hosts are very friendly. There is highway noise but it settles down. There were bugling elk and coyotes yipping at night. First time we had a bear in the campsite.
My only complaint is that previously no one had or used generators. There were several generators this visit and some were used the greater part of the day.

Had a wonderful time. Unfortunately got in later than had planned due to traffic. Nice clear tent area, not extremely close compared to other sites. We were at O18. We found the camp hosts to be very friendly...hubby said almost makes him want to be a camp host. We will be back, love the area.

Loved our first visit to this site this past weekend. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the bathrooms were the cleanest we have ever seen. Beautiful views of the rim, and the sites are spaced out nicely. We will for sure be back again!

Sites were very well spaced and maintained and the hosts were great. We had lots of shade at our spot. My only complaint is that campers across the road apparently had their generator going during the entire time period it was allowed. Perhaps there should be a restriction on the number of hours/day? We were not at our site the entire day but when we were it was constant generator noise.
