Great little campground. Campground host is friendly and knowledgeable. Campsites are very clean and well maintained. You can tell staff takes pride in keeping the sites ready for their next guests. We stayed twice in a week and both sites were very consistently maintained, clean and gravel raked. Bathrooms were clean and stocked as well. Walking paths and trails are clearly marked and easily found. Some of the paths around the lake are asphalt for those who need a little more accessibility. Lake is beautiful.

This is probably one of the best kept paid campgrounds that I’ve been to in AZ. The size was manicured up to the tree line, it was level, the fire rings were cleaned out after each camper. And the vault toilets were the cleanest ones I’ve vet seen.

The spaces were also spread out and we felt secluded, despite the grounds being full.

We stayed on Loop H space 33, and it was only about a .25mile walk to the lake.
