Beautiful campground, well maintained, friendly and very helpful camp hosts. Definitely off the grid and as a result, lots of generators running, however sites are well spaced so not too much of an issue. Beautiful night skies. Great experience on Lake Roosevelt - useful boat ramp, lots of boat trailer parking available.

Wonderful view of the lake from Cane Cholla # 167.
This seems to be RV nirvana--- pity, just a few tents.
Campground hosts were terrific. Bathrooms were spotless and oder free even without flushing toilets. Shower was excellent in a neighboring loop.
Be sure to get gas when approaching from Payson or Globe....and your groceries.

We loved this campsite EXCEPT, the 16 hour a day generator hours. Given that the whole place is never more than 1/3 full we would love to see one of the loops designated nongenerator camping only. At 5:59 am every morning people fired up their generators. What in heaven’s name requires a generator at 6 am? It was still cool outside so it wasn’t air-con units.
