Windy Hill is an under appreciated oasis in the desert. Such a gorgeous lake surrounding it and the area is well maintained by its super nice federal volunteers. There's good paved roads for biking, some nice easy hikes in the campground, is close to the Arizona Trail and the Cliff Dwellings National Monument is right across the highway, which I recommend checking out for sure.
There's a small convenience store and gas station on Hwy 188 in the little town of Roosevelt (driving east).

Bathroom was clean and well stocked, campgrounds were quiet and easily accessible. I had a nice, quiet night.

There was a water spigot, but it didn’t work and the camp host said that the repairs weren’t going to happen any time soon. There was also a wasp nest in the covered area so we couldn’t use that. We had to move our table under our own pop up cover.
The view was amazing. The camp host, Mike, was friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back again. We had a marvelous time!
We didn’t use the restroom, so I don’t know the condition of that. The boat launch was close to our campground, less than 2 minute drive. We had such a great time with our friends and family. Thanks!😀

Several of the water supply taps need to be fixed.

Excellent accommodations. Not to primitive but has everything you need for comfortable tent camping.

No water or hose bibs, no showers, locked until further notice, now it’s been over one year. Dumbest idea yet. Only once a week toilet paper and a filthy toilet. Plus you have to have reservations and yet several campgrounds are closed and locked.

There was so many stickers. We had stickers everywhere and in everything. I could not put my dog down. The bathrooms were dirty. Couldnt access showers. The ground would not hold our tent steaks. Bent them putting them in and then they would pop out. Then we couldnt get down to the water to swim or fish. All gates were shut. You were not allowed to fish or swam off docks. Couldnt swim or fish at boat ramps. It really did suck. We paid high dollar to reserve a double space. I could of done something else with my money.

Cost per night is more than state park that has showers, full hookups, electric, etc. (e.g. Alamo Lake). Having a campground with electric would help but fully functional showers would have been nice. Otherwise if no upgrades then suggest price should be slightly lower than one with full hookups. Also, our group really wanted a group campground (e.g. Grapevine) but they've been closed for over a year it seems with unknown plan when to reopen. Is it being fixed? Every park should have reservable group site option if they have room for it. I did like Coyote Loop at Windy Hill had it's own boat launch, and that sites were reservable although reservation fee was pretty steep.

We purchased a double site but got assigned a single site. So we paid double for half the space. Two camp hosts told us we needed to relocate two of our vehicles or the entire camp. We had 13 people and all of the vehicles and equipment that comes with that. However, there we’re no vacant double sites. We had to move our vehicles to another site. Not a good experience at all.
