Beautiful views from the site, including a bench overlooking the lake, and incredibly kind and helpful camp host. The composting toilet facilities are nearby and clean with no notable odor. The parking for the site is pull through, but on the main road, which would be challenging for some rigs.

Was beautiful to stay there, ramadas, bathrooms, picnic tables and a great view! Nice camp host! National Forests are a bit pricey considering no water or electric

Will is a great Host who was always available and willing to provide any assistance needed. He walked the Teddy Bear Loop many times per day to keep things in order. Excellent and very involved.

Will, apparently the sole person left on staff and not a Tonto National Forest Ranger, did his very best to cope without the usual staff present. So, high kudos to him.
