The campground is very well taken care of, the host was super nice and helpful. Loved the placement of the campground, how close it is to the lake. Camp spots aren’t super crammed in together. This has been one of our favorite campsite experiences in Arizona.

First time at this site.:actually went with my daughter on a leap of faith with little information or knowledge of the area. Clean sites..bathrooms will maintained. Close enough to the lake to walk or drive
No complaints but a few things to know if going for the first time..areas for tents are not very spacious..some smaller than others…sites are not far from the road so you hear traffic constantly..close to town and shopping if need to grab supplies…not far from a few other lakes if you want to visit other areas.
Overall highly recommended and will definitely go back.

Fácil acceso, bien comunicado, buen espacio en el lote, distancia suficiente entre lotes, baños limpios y accesibles, agua la suficiente. El lago está en un plano más abajo con veredas muy agradables en todo el recorrido, buena sombra.

Beautiful location, clean camp sites and the host was such a nice gentleman--he made sure we found our campsite, helped us look for another site that might better suit our needs in the future and made sure we got settled in nicely. We will definitely be back!

Nice, clean campground. Lovely area. And if you are the type who tends to forget something a convenience store is five minutes away.
