This place is great. Much to do on the lake, and the camp store has everything one could possibly want. Will return again this year before they close for the season.

This is a very nice campground. Wish it had cell phone and internet service. Not needed for streaming or emails. More and more people depend on this for emergencies with family or alarm companies.

Campground and restrooms are always clean. They have cut down a lot of trees since we were there last year. That was a surprise but still perfect.

Wonderful campground! This is one of our favorite places to cool off during the Arizona summer. Tucked in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Big Lake, it's peaceful, scenic, and full of tall pines and aspens. There are a lot of downed trees, but we were happy to see new ones being planted.
The campground is clean and well maintained. Restrooms were tidy, and the showers were adequate—nothing fancy, but they got the job done. Campsites are spacious with plenty of room for trailers or RVs. Picnic tables, fire rings, and hookups were all in good shape.
The camp hosts were fabulous. Friendly, helpful, and clearly proud of the campground. Their presence made the experience feel even more inviting.

The camp hosts are kind and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and kept clean. Being able to buy ice at the campground is a plus. Having hot water to wash dishes in a dedicated sink is convenient. Having a shower is also great. The bathrooms are cleaned daily, however, the showers could use a really deep cleaning. Often, the same clumps of hair would be there for multiple days, and the shower walls need a good scrubbing.
