Beautiful setting. Camped by the lake. Drive in/out makes it a real adventure.

This campground is a hidden gem. Camp Hosts were very engaging and conscious of campers who might negatively impact the experience of others. Rowdy campers were dealt with in a timely fashion. The biggest disappointment on this trip was the further defoliation that occurred since my visit in January. Vegetation that used to provide some privacy between campsites has been trimmed to an extreme. Likewise, the shade providing mesquites. Camping here in the heat of summer will be brutal now given the lack of shade.

We got completely different spaces than what we reserved online! That stunk but overall we would go back and camp again.

It was beautiful! Our first time here. The surroundings were beautiful and each camp site looks like a good setup.
Know that there are no showers or sinks. Prepare for that. It also is very warm and sunny in this part of AZ. I'd recommend a 10x10 and sunblock. Bring a kayak or some kind of paddle boat, etc. The water and scenery is absolutely gorgeous. We'll definitely be returning.

Besides the scary drive to the campsite, it was really nice with a beach to swim. Lot 17 is very private.

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!

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.

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!
