It was wonderful!! The campgrounds are secluded enough that even with neighbors, you still have privacy. Even got a visit from some cows 😊. Can't wait to go back.

Camp host was very nice and greeted us upon arrival. Bathrooms were always stocked and were clean. If you are using the campsite grill, only downfall was half of the grates were missing. We enjoyed just getting out of the heat and getting some piece and quiet. Kids had a great time and we definitely will be coming again.

We stayed at site 5, it had good spacing from the other sites. The weather was great, the bathrooms were clean, and it was overall a really good campground.

We like Sharp Creek campground as it is a shorter drive from PHX. It is usually pretty clean, quiet and cooler than the valley.
There are no hookups even though we have a trailer. We enjoy being close to the RIM.

Great campground with good distance from highway, well spread out campsites and clean. Lots of nice trees and vegetation and birds in the area. We had spot 13 in Oak Looo next to pit toilets and only complaint is they smelled pretty strong in afternoon no so much inside but from exhaust pipes in building possibly overdue for a cleaning. I fee the USFS doesn’t do the best job on this type of maintenance.

A very nice campground, very clean and well maintained, does need some hiking trails. Would definitely go back.

This spot was great. We were hosting a party and had 45 people attend. The spot was perfect for this. It had a great Ramada with lights, a bathroom that was clean, great fire pit area, and plenty of room for everyone. The camp hosts were so friendly and helpful but not over bearing. Will definitely do this again!
