The sites are very small, open and close together (not a lot of privacy). Upon arriving we asked a couple of the workers if we could set up our tent anywhere on our site and they said yes (we even confirmed where we were going to put the tents) after we set up our entire campsite the hosts come by and inform us that we need to move all of our tents into the tent pad (super small area and super close to the fire and picnic table) so we had to empty everything out of our tents and move them, play puzzle trying to fit everything in the tent pad etc. we will not be returning.

Sam and Donna who I came in contact with were so sweet and kind. I loved my stay. They had fresh water for my RV, no dump station but you can dump at the local speedway gas station for free. The campsite was quiet, no complaints restroom were clean. I definitely recommend staying here.

My family really liked this campground. The sites are spaced out and it has flat spaces already cleared for tents. The picnic tables are clean and it has posts to hang trash off the ground. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. At the suggestion of the host, we enjoyed a hike in Christopher Creek. We will recommend this campground and plan to come again in the future.

A older campground with lots of shade,large sites and very quiet.We arrived on a Wednesday and there were few campers in our of area.We were in Oak 11.We have a 36 Motor home plus a van.There was plenty of room for us in a pull thru site.It a beautiful early early September day with low 70 temperature.The picnic area with metal table was very nice.The hosts were a very nice older couple who loved their job.They kept everything looking nice and clean .When we left on Sunday they came by to say goodbye and asked us how our stay was.We never have a camp host do this any where we have been.It was even great on Friday and Saturday when families and motorcycle groups checked in.The area has so many activities including fishing, hiking,playing in creeks,ATV trails and shopping and restaurants in Payson.

Campsites are EXTREMELY close to one another. Campground staff was extremely rude and overbearing. Dogs have to be on leashes the whole time. Would not recommend this campsite to anyone.
