Camp hosts (all 3 teams) were friendly and kept the campground clean and well maintained although there were issues with the women's showers and a water leak that the NGO couldn't seem to fix.

Beautiful weather, kind hosts, clean campground. The only downfall was the location of the fire pits. We were in 81&82. No matter how we parked campers, fire pits are within a couple feet of your camper. My husband hugged the water pole within inches just to have 3 feet from the pit. We kept a hose out.

We appreciated a number of things at Apache Trout campground. One of them being the dish washing sinks at every bath house. We were dry camping so any opportunity to use the water provided was great. We enjoyed the level sites, spaces between non-electric sites, and the bath houses.
One complaint-the unpaved roads resulted in dusty conditions. Most drivers were considerate and drive slowly past our site. A very few, on the other hand, 😠.

The campground is remote, but sites are well spaced, and the staff at this site is excellent. Very helpful. We weren't fortunate enough to catch any fish in Big Lake, but we did see Elk, Deer and wild horses in the surrounding woods. it is a beautiful location.
