Large campground with good sized spaces and even some vegetation between the sites to give privacy. Beautiful desert. Downsides were water spigot in my loop was not working and there aren’t many around. The only dumpsters were at the entrance to the campground-about 1/3 mile each way for me. No recycling available. There are solar heater showers but very low water pressure and barely warm. T-Mobile has 0-1 bars-enough to text, barelybb

Stunning landscape and lots of interconnecting trails around the campground. Our site was clean and the campground appeared to be well maintained. Had a little problem with the on line registration when I tried to switch dates but we were able to register on site when we arrived.

We enjoyed our time here, the kids loved having a playground and wished they would have brought a volleyball, the camp host was very kind and let them use one of his to play with :)
The grounds sit up from the beach and it was a little rocky to get down to the one we played at but it was set in a lovely quiet cove area. Next time we’d like to bring bikes!

Loved the beauty of the campground and the walking path going along the lake. Roosevelt dam, Apache lake and Tonto national monument are a must see. We had lunch at the marina and that was wonderful too.
