This is a great location, and this is the 2nd time we stayed over the New Year's holiday. The sites are kept clean and so is the bathroom. Each site has at least one tree and there is a good bit of distance between sites.
Unfortunately, campground rules were not enforced regarding quiet hours. One camper used a generator overnight, all 3 nights we were there, despite the 10 pm-6 am quite time rules posted at the entrance. Our 3 campsites were all kept awake while the generator droned on and on. I spoke twice to the campground host, who informed me that the rangers told him that nothing could be done if the generator was left on due to use of a c-pap. I'm not sure if that's true or not, however, there are many other ways to handle c-pap use: 1. use a battery pack. 2. pick a spot away from other campers. 3. stay in a campground that has electrical hookups.
It was really unfortunate that our entire group of 3 campsites could not enjoy quiet in nature, nor get sleep, due to one camper's inconsiderate choices. It's disappointing that the rules are not enforced so that all may enjoy.

I have been camping here for at least a month every year for 27 years. I have watched this campground go downhill the entire time. There were two redeeming factors this year. For the first time in 6 years, the showers worked with somewhat warm water. The camp hosts, Mike and Paulette, were, once again, wonderful. We spend 3 months camping each year at different campgrounds all over Arizona. While all camp hosts are usually very good, Mike and Paulette are the best we have ever worked with.

Great experience . Went with two small first timers (8 and 5) both had great time . Park was a lot of fun and lots of hiking . S’mores and campfire cooking . Area clean and inviting . Even with a little rain still a lot of fun. Will return soon.

No cell phone coverage. Also, we should be able to reserve all campsites not just odd

Everything was great except the area in the campgrounds at each site needs to mowed and cleaned up.

Lovely staying by the lake. Not windy on the day we went but have heard it's called windy hill for a reason! Lots of gnats and bugs but overall a wonderful site!

Hate reservation system. Can't have friends reserve next to me because the sites are even or double sites. MANY sites not used because they are double sites (which means they are same size as single site, but have TWO picnic tables. Cell phone strength is so bad people are unable to reserve when at windy hill. Your website campground map is unreadable. Same complaint as last few years, so filling these out are a waste of time.
