This Campground is beautifully situated in the trees, but a close walk to Big Lake. The restrooms were clean. Our camp host was extremely helpful getting us backed in to our site. We will return next year, I hope!

We enjoy our visits to Apache Trout very much. All the camp hosts are so friendly and helpful and do a terrific job of keeping the camp ground clean and welcoming. The bathrooms are always immaculate.
It would be nice if the roads could be hard surfaced and the camping pads as well. There is so much dust and dirt in the campground.

This campground was great. Hosts are top notch, very helpful and keep the place well maintained. Have to book as early as possible as the spaces go quick. Plenty to do. Just be aware that you will not have cell service at all with the exception of a few "sweet spots" around the area where you will catch a bit of signal. Will definitely be going back.

The campgrounds were clean and quiet for the most part. The only bad thing was one of the faucets were broken next to my camp
