Beautiful spot but very loud on the weekends. Was well after 11 by the time the really loud music stopped one night. Unfortunately, it was too loud for many with young children to risk staying the full weekend and they went home early.

I was able to make it down the dirt road in a 2WD hatchback just fine. The road is steep and has many sharp turns but is in fine condition.

I was in site 67 which was near the water but didn’t have much water access as the sites on either side kind of took over that space. Just be aware booking these sites that the water side sites aren’t very well defined but the sites not on the water are very secluded feeling!

The only true complaint I have is that the restrooms were disgusting. I know this isn’t the fault of the camp host and don’t intend to place fault on them. But they were unusable they had been so destroyed. Even the latches on the doors were bent and broken by the end of the weekend in addition to trash and human waste being on the ground. Again, not the fault of the host but rather the guests.

Overall, it’s a great spot right on the water. Bring your inflatables and enjoy the lake! But it’s not the best place for a quiet camping trip with little kids.

They’re is dead fish everywhere on the rocks from the water. It’s sad I think they put something in the water. They had a public HEALTH sign on the right side on the way to the campsite. Besides that, wonderful

Amazing campground. Drive in was a bit longer due to Apache trail closed, but the views of Roosevelt, the dam etc etc made the 2hr drive seem like a breeze. The last 6 mile dirt road makes this place a bit more committed to get to but improvise it’s well worth it. Beautiful, serene, and awesome. Everyone we me t camemom contact with was very friendly. Great place to bring kids and families. Next time will bring the paddleboards- big mistake not doing so. Lake is calm, not many boaters, and water temp was refreshing. Will absolutely be returning!

Scenic campground. Beach for swimming. Dock for boats. Pulled a 27 foot 5th wheel. Drive was a bit rough going the 5-1/2 miles as others have mentioned, but the scenery for the passenger (me) was awesome. Would love to go back but had a few minor things happen to both truck and 5th wheel. Husband says he doubts it.....it's a maybe. Hosts were the best!

Great view of Apache Lake and surrounding desert. Can get crowded and noisy. Camp hosts are overwhelmed and then allow some louzy patrons in the campground to be disrespectful.

Beautiful campground right on the lake with Saguaro cactus surrounding the entire valley. We stayed at a lakeside site under the Mesquite trees. There were many birds, including Turkey Vultures that would eat small dead fish from the shore. Beautiful night sky and dramatic sunsets. During our visit the soaking spring rain washed out part of the road enough that a non-4WD vehicle would be unable to pass. A local group was able to fill in some of the deeper gaps shortly after the rain, at least enough that a normal car could pass. Otherwise road is passable in a normal car.

Camp hosts were awesome, and the park was in great condition!

The campground is in a beautiful location. It is well kept up and clean and the hosts are pleasant and helpful. The other campers were pleasant and considerate. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful experience! Camp hosts were friendly & gorgeous area. Pit toilets were incredibly well maintained, and plenty of potable water stations. Will definitely return to this area!
