We will definitely be back to Stevens Creek Campground! Although close to a main road, it is not too noisy at night at all. Very peaceful and great stargazing. Driving distance from Elk Creek Marina if you plan to rent a boat for the day on the reservoir. It was so nice to have running water, picnic tables, fire pits (with grates for cooking) and toilets at the campsite. I am used to BLM camping so this felt like glamping to me!

Camp site 009A was nice. It had good views, decent privacy & good lake access. However, the lake is way down & has lots of wierd algae. The Rangers were courteous & helpful, & it is nice to stay at a campsite with amnities like vault bathrooms, potable water, trash dumpsters, picnic tables & fire-rings.

Very nice, spacious campground. Good facilities including multiple ponds, a trail along the Colorado River, showers. Full hookups. Beautiful view of the mesas. Close to the wild horse sanctuary (and a shooting range on the same road). Unfortunately, it is right next to the freeway. But after the first day, we really didn't hear it anymore. I would stay here again.

Simply the worst camping experience in my more than 60 years on the planet. Aggressive, nasty red ants EVERYWHERE! THEY BITE!!! And, just when I thought "I've got to kill these things before they eat me alive" I see the sign prohibiting me from doing so. My two day stay became 2 hours. I was OUT OF THERE! NEVER AGAIN!!!
