Pristine camp ground. Friendly and helpful camp hosts. The cell coverage was not that great. It's a great lake and campground for the avid fishing folks.

my only negative was the sewer was so far behind the trailer I had to use 3 hoses to reach it. Site # 84. other than that everything was good.

All the camp host's went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Several times they came by our site to make sure all was good. As always a great time. Fishing was outstanding. Took several drives and viewed a number of animals. Rained almost every day that kept things cooler.
We always look forward to our yearly family trips to Apache Trout and Big Lake AZ.
