The camp host was fantastic, but even as a Solar expert, he couldn’t fix the outdated and broken solar. For a campground that prides itself on being all solar, it was a huge disappointment. And, beware: no solar means NO HOT SHOWERS or lights in the bathrooms (at least in the Buckhorn Loop.) I’d love to return, but I’d like a discount next time for the extra I’ll spend on buying my own solar shower bag.

Nice place. Bathroom was clean and tidy garbage areas. Don’t care for all the RVs and the running generators. Would like to see Cholla separate out tent camping in one loop and noisy RVs in another loop
