Stayed 14 days in May 2021. Beautiful setting. Friendly hosts and other visitors. Very limited, if any, cell coverage and having the showers opened would have been nice. Other than that, we'll be back!

Great campground many sites have full hookups. The plus is the campground hosts very friendly and helpful. Lots of fishing options , shore or boat rental. Very good experience

My site was clean. On the whole it was quite. The only thing that could have made it better was if they had some kind of dust control. Now if you can just do something about the wind. (just kidding)

We understand that parks struggle thru West US' drought but Apache Trout is grossly mismanaged. Speed limits to curb & minimize the dusty park roads were totally ignored, especially by Park Hosts. We even complained to the Hosts manning the front gate, however, they continued to speed thru the park themselves creating clouds of dust & dirt. Guests sped past Hosts & nothing was said. The speeding & dusty roads culminated into being unable to sit outside at all and keeping our RV windows shut the entire time. We camp the U.S. & rarely experienced disappointment & disgust to this extent. We will NEVER NEVER return to Apache Trout CG & will spread the word to our friends and online blogs. Too bad!
