I hate to complain, but no hot water in the showers plus whoever decided to take out the garbage dumpsters and put in one roll-away dumpster made a very stupid decision. It has no lid, birds are gonna make a mess. Old folks can’t throw garbage bags that high causing littering throughout the park!!!!

The lack of hot water and no trash service was a bummer on a great trip.. please at least fix the hot water heater… it’s been broken forever

Site is very clean and well maintained. Incredible view of the lake from your site… if you have a campsite with a view.

Camp host Will is probably one of the two top best camp host we have ever met in our 36 years of camping since moving to Az. He came and introduced himself right away and politely told us the speed limits for OHV's and asked if there was anything he could do to help us. He visited for a while and would speak when he seen us. He is the best.
