Worst camping experience of my life. The campsites are so close together you can hear your neighbor’s conversation. We even heard our neighbor snoring all night long. Trash cans overflowing, bathrooms were so dirty and smelled awful. The campground is right next to Oak Creek but you can’t even enjoy the Creek because there are so many people everywhere (when the campground is full). It was very loud and the 10pm curfew was not enforced. The only positive for this place was the staff at the office. They were really great people, but I believe understaffed due to COVID cutbacks.

It was hard not having a place to wash dishes. And unfortunate that we couldn’t have campfires but overall the campsites were great and I loved the area! Great trees for hammocking!

Absolute WORST camping experience EVER! WE WILL NEVER RETURN. And I will NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE.
If you like being HARRASSED by the camp managers, then you would like this place. Otherwise, STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!! Dennis, aka Howard Baskin, was the upmost RUDEST camp manager i have ever encountered. Im upset for not getting the other a******'s name who chased us out of the park at high speeds with his State employee vehicle, intimidating my family as we were leaving after only being there 2 hours.
No fires allowed but they dont mention that on the websites. Drove 5 HOURS to be told there was a state wide burn ban but noone could tell me since when that had be enforced.
Absolutely horrible! I wish i could get a credit for my money or something since we left before even staying a whole night. But, I will just take the loss and learn from experience that Arizona's campsites, so far, are the absolute worst between Nevada, California, and Utah.

Great hosts, great check in, lovely location. WAY too much road noise and we'd love to see Wifi. But overall, an excellent experience.

Campground was fine. The problem is a lack of hiking accessible from the campground. AZ 89 is very busy and there are few places to park and access trail heads. The Oak Creek Canyon area is beautiful but the necessity of driving to see it is unfortunate.
