Nice campground with well spaced sites. Easy access to water activities, and some hiking and biking near by. Only complaint is that showers still do not have hot water, and some of the prime camp sites are not reservable (first come first serve).

Very clean and quiet space to camp. Clean restrooms and the surrounding areas.
Close to the water for fishing from shore or boating.

Cholla Campground exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Christmas Cholla Loop. The site was large, clean and level for setting up our camper. The views of the surrounding mountains were magnificent. We loved the hiking trails that we accessed right from the campground. The bathrooms were clean, even though we didn't need to use them, we checked. The dump station was convenient and well functioning. Potable water was also available. We stayed in early March. Drove out to Apache Lake on the Apache Trail. Visited Globe and checked out the city's cool historic district. Saw many UTVs. We didn't bring ours, but there are many off road trails in this area to explore. Can't wait to get back there again. So much to explore and do in the area. Thanks for a great and memorable camping experience!
