Pleasant except for people who can’t live or camp without a generator running all day.

We love being at Roosevelt Lake in Cholla Campground on Teddy Bear Cholla Loop. Our only wish would be the opening of the showers.

Overall very nice campground. Sites are kind of tight in some areas and better in others. Nice view of the lake from some. Not very full, so lots of choices on spot.

I love camping there. Been going for over 10 years. The price per night has nearly tripled though so can't go there as often as I'd like anymore.

Our time at Cholla was pleasant. Neighbors were quiet and respectful. The campground was clean, bathrooms were clean, frustrating that the showers were closed but we made do. Never saw the camp hosts even though we knew they were there.
We will return as it was a pleasant experience.
