Awesome campground with great views of Roosevelt lake.

The sites were large and the host was very helpful.

The only challenge we had was that our initial sites were pull in sites that were parallel to the road and would not accommodate our trailer without risk of damage. The host helped us to change sites!

Cholla loop is a very nice campground and we had a great site. There are incredible views and the Steel Ramadas are a nice touch and helped in the rain.

Very quiet and peaceful campground. Sites were nicely spaced out, and mostly level. Lots of hiking and sightseeing nearby. Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

It was very peaceful, only about 7 other campers in November during the week. The warm showers and flush toilets are always welcome at a campground that has no RV hookups. Very green with lots of vegetation and wildlife. Good views of Roosevelt Lake with fishing opportunities.

This campground is great due to the location of Roosevelt Lake. It is nice that they provide covered picnic table areas. We had a double site so our friends could be with us. We both have 27' trailers and it was tight, but cozy. It was quiet, and peaceful here. No showers available though. There are separate hosts for each loop which is nice. We never saw them, however.

Host did not enforce quiet hours with regard to generators. Also let children drive ATVs against traffic on one way loop. No hot showers.
