Cholla Campground

Excellent stay, beautiful area, definitely see the cliff dwellings. Our only complaint is that we had neighbors who ran their generator ALL DAY LONG (7 am to 9 pm). We understand the need to charge batteries, especially in winter, but it is unfortunate to be in a beautiful, peaceful spot in nature and have to listen to engines. Even inside our RV it was audible. I wish the Forest Service would institute hours of use for generators. At Saguaro National Park they have generator hours, 8to 10 am, and 4 to 6 pm. Perfect! Other than that we loved it.

I have never been a fan of campgrounds. We prefer to "Boondock" camp, but the weather did not cooperate this year and the desert was too wet and muddy to attempt. We have a very gun shy yellow lab that is terrified of fireworks. So, every July 4th and New Years Eve we load him up and leave town. With that being said, we reserved a space at Roosevelt lake Cholla campground this NYE. I came away very impressed with the area. The grounds were clean and well maintained. A trash dumpster was only a few yards away and clean water faucet too. It was very peaceful and the grounds have a 10 PM noise rule. We were able to dump our tanks on the way home and had an enjoyable stay. We plan to return this spring for some camping and fishing, but being native Arizonans, we know the summer will be too hot to camp.

Bathrooms lacked lights, soap, hand dryers. Sign out front said it was modern solar powered with motion sensor lights and hands free soap dispensers neither of which were present.

The campgrounds were kept nice but to fish was really bad. You had to climb down a steep rocky cliff to get to the water. They need to put in access for people to get to the water

The camp ground was clean, the host was friendly.

Nice campground. This is our winter go to campground. Close to water and fishing. (Lake was very low this last time). We spend at least three hours fishing each morning. My wife caught three good size catfish bottom fishing from shore.

It has one of the best prices we have found. It is $12.50 a night with a senior pass. Good cell/internet service. Just turn off and on airplane mode to re-establish internet when phone drops to 3G. There are playgrounds for the kids and hiking trails. The odd number sites can be reserved in the winter. There are some full time people staying in even number sites.

Lots of sun and clear sky's so solar works great. We have a 4kw generator but hardly ever run it because batteries charge up by 1 pm each day with 400 watts of solar.

Not a problem for us because we are self contained but if you don't know the place you should know that only the restroom/shower buildings at the entrance to the loops are working each time we are there. (Don't understand why people clog the restrooms and dump with diapers and underwear. They have waist dumpsters.) Dump opened back up the Monday we were there.
