Beautiful views from the site and incredibly kind and helpful camp host. The composting toilet facilities are 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

my best camping experience in 2 weeks of camping my way to california. THe showers were non-functional, but another campground had working howers. WIldlife was prevelant, hiking was available, very nice lake , just a very windy week. SAW Quail, coyotes, rabbits, ducks, hawks, no snakes, cliff dwellings, visitor center was nice. Wish they had wifi, but it was a great trip.

Have been going to Cholla campground for 10 years now. The facilities in general are getting pretty shabby.

Cool area, campground was overall nice. There was no hot water in showers when I was there but you could go to windy hill 10 minutes down the road and use theirs. I ended up switching campgrounds to windy hill after 3 nights.

Nice, quiet campground with a beautiful view of Roosevelt Lake. Be careful about booking your site next to a double site, they can get noisy but the evenings were peaceful. Would have given a better rating if the showers had been working but I understand that “things happen”.

Best winter camping in Arizona! Have no idea why everyone goes to Quartsite, but I'm happy they do.
The giant Roosevelt lake and adventures all over. Love it!

These are non-electric-non-water sites but as long as you know that, the park is beautiful, well maintained, a great location. The signage to be Cholla boat dock was not easy to follow so this becomes more of a camp spot without water access. Cholla bay is not far though so great for kayak launch and a swim.

Nice location. Dump site was easily accessible and had fresh water stations to fill up scattered around the campground. Showers do not have hot water… burr! Grounds were clean and also has nice trails to explore.

The site was perfect for us. Private but close to the playground and restrooms which were very clean. The camp host was very helpful and pleasant.
