Outstanding campgrounds in every respect. Camp hosts are wonderful. Sites are nice sized, many lakefront. The scenery is breathtaking. The lavatories are fine. It's just a great place to fish and unwind, watch a variety of birds, and visit with wonderful people who tend to camp there. Enjoy!!!

The mountains around Apache Lake are gorgeous! There were alot of options available w/o booking in advance in November. We moved from our reservation site. Paddle boarding on the lake, biking, walking and camping there was great.

Great campground, incredible views but I would not choose site #21 again. It's very small without any level ground to pitch a tent well and zero shade. We had the sun right on top of us most of the day.

Wow! What a beautiful campground! Lots of shade and incredible views. The grounds and bathrooms were well maintained during our visit and the hosts were super helpful. Make sure you bring your own wood. They do not sell any at the campground.

The campsite was amazing; my site was near the water and I had spectacular views! Not many campers at the time so it was super quiet! I think I met all the campers there and everyone was so nice!

The camp hosts were amazing! I had an unfortunate event happen (locked myself out of my truck); no cell phone service but the host had a satellite phone and was able to find someone to make the trek to the campground! Lifesaver.

The road to the site can be a bit scary but they keep it well grated and the views of the lake are jaw dropping! Bathrooms were ok... never a fan of vault toilets but they were clean!

Can’t wait to go back!

Camp hosts were friendly, and a good laugh. Kept a realistic eye on the place including being concerned for a hunter missing overnight, but he returned the next morning.

We had an awesome time at Burnt Corral though the lake was empty of fish (we heard it was due to an algae bloom). It was quiet and beautiful. We loved the path to Upper Burnt Corral which was deserted and we had a private beach cove to ourselves. However some irresponsible campers had not properly buried their waste which led to some upsetting surprises when our dogs found them... hoping that if we return, the beach will have been cleaned up some.
