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!!

A beautiful campground with tall pine and aspen trees. The road is gravel, and some substantial pot holes because of the rain. The camp hosts were friendly and informative.

Apache Trout Campground is a nice place to camp. It's cool and in the trees and if you like to fish, a great place to do it. Having full hookups was wonderful.
