Wonderful place to camp. My only complaint is that the showers close at 7 pm each night.

You have to set up a time 5 to 6 months early to get the spot you want.

Our camp site was ready for us when we arrived. We were late due to travel. We parked in the site and were visited the next day.
We have stayed at Apache Trout numerous times. We have always enjoyed the location. The only issue this year was the weather, wet and cold.
The camp hosts were great. We were happy that they maintained the sites, restrooms and showers so we’ll.
Now if they could have made it sunny and warm and encouraged the fish to bite things would have been perfect.
Special kudos to Mark earless and Paul Hoffman!!
Also,, open the visitor center!!
