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

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.

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.
