Sharp Creek Campground, Payson AZ. is a beautiful place. Staff were always helpful, giving hiking trail directions. The toilets were clean and stocked.
Improvements: signage on garbage cans and RECYCLING. ALL. National Park service should INVEST in recycling.

Campsites are large with paved parking spots and the camp hosts are friendly. Easy drive from the valley.

We stayed in tent spot 2. Very nice camp site. Near the restrooms and nice flat space for the tent. Privacy was decent but spot 1 is close so if you have noisy neighbors you will definitely hear everything. We will definitely stay at the campground again. Very nice hosts.

We love this campground, especially the tent only area but the cleaning of the bathrooms was subpar this visit. The vault toilets could have been scrubbed on the inside and outside better. They also seemed to be quite full which is concerning seeing that this was only May. There should be signs in there asking people to close the lid and maybe an air freshner would be nice. We did have toilet paper although it was pretty close sometimes and the trash was emptied each day. Usually camp hosts stop by and check in but we never saw them. The campsite next to us had a campfire going despite there being fire restrictions which wasn't enforced in this particular instance.

Most campsites are good sized and spread out from each other. Lots of tall, ponderosa’s and cool weather and make this favorite.

Really nice and well kept campground with spacious sites. Everything is spread out and you aren’t right next to neighbor campers which I appreciate. Only downside is there are no toilets (only latrines) at the campground and no showers. We went searching and couldn't find public showers anywhere around Christopher Creek either.

Excellent experience despite not being able to have a fire. Spaces are well spaced out and have privacy. Asphalt and camp sites are well taken care of. Bathrooms are clean and serviceable. Easy to get in and out of sites, loops and spaces.
