The weather kept us from going. Some family got washed out at a flooded crossing and perished. We will try again another time.

We visited Cholla the first week in November and the weather was excellent. The campground was mostly empty and there was almost no-one on the lake. We took the kids out on inflatable boats and hard shell kayaks and the kids had a blast. The solar showers cool of in the evening time so get your shower in while it is still daylight. The kids had fun at the playground and the hosts were excellent. We were the first ones to use the new reservation system. Only improvement I would say is recreation.gov needs a map of the campsite locations so it is easier to tell which camp site is which when you want to reserve multiple for a large group. The wife and I ended up driving up the week before to scout out potential sites where we would all fit. During our scouting trip we say a float plane doing touch and go's on the lake. It was a lot of fun.
