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!

Despite the fact that the camp hosts were hampered by lack of protection by Law Enforcement, they were able to keep things under control by displaying a professional yet firm customer service attitude. The sites and service areas were spotless. Sadly, they said they would not be coming back the following year (2021) due to lack of support and communication from their management.

Camp hosts are very friendly and professional. Campsites are very nice. We stay there more than once per year.

We really enjoyed our stay. The area is absolutely beautiful and we saw quite a bit of wildlife while at our campsite. The campground is well maintained and we plan to return.

Excellent experience. Although group campsite area shut down, the rest were open. Nice, large sites with great tables and fire rings. Bathrooms clean but showers shut down due to Covid concerns. Hosts very welcoming.
