This is our winter "go to" spot.
Fun fishing on northeast shore of campground. (We stay at Teddy bear which is closer to the fishing spot).
Great hiking trails around and through the campsite.
Great cell service (T-mobile). We can tether off our phones to stream to our Tablet, Shield or Roku to watch tv shows. If it does drop then simply go to airplane mode and then back. It will come back. (It is a boondock so we set up 400 watts of solar and the two house batteries are charged by noon).
Free dump station on site.

Nice desert campground. Little shade. Hopefully showers will re-open soon. Be sure to bring your own water.

Campground was well-maintained. Sites was large and not crowded.
Short drives to Roosevelt Dam and Tonto National Monument recommended.

The campsite was plenty large enough for our tent and group with a nice picnic table and fire pit. The bathrooms were clean enough. It was great to be able to walk down to the lake. Cell service was poor. We were happy to have reservations to get a nice spot but there were plenty of open spots on the not as nice loop if you didn’t have a reservation.
It was mostly quiet except there was a group site next to us that stayed up late talking at the fire one night which wasn’t great. Despite that I’d definitely camp here again!

Great site for the family! The kids loved the playground and close access to the lake. The restrooms were clean and it was nice to have an easy going campground host! Loved it!

Restrooms were very clean, noise was low and area is beautiful. If it had water and electric, it would be better.
