Very well maintained Campground with very nice flushing toilet bathrooms and heated water showers. The spot we picked has a great view of Roosevelt Lake. Good trails with a more rugged ones that lead down to the lake. There is a boat ramp and large parking lot in this campground as well. There is a RV dump station too.

This is a beautiful campground in the low desert. Incredibles scenery all around with the Matazals right there and the lake just beyond the campground. The only issue we had this past week is that the camp hosts were pretty lazy on cleaning the bathrooms. I'm sure that will change when the Camp Host changes. They do have flush toilets and showers... But the camp host needs a little motivation.

Excellent campground with hundreds of sites. February and March it’s cooler and quieter. Nearby there is free camping on forest land, but the campground has shelters and easy access to the water. Pro tip: site 165 is the best in the house. Within just a few miles you’ll find the Roosevelt bridge and Tonto National Monument—both worth a visit. And if you have a day and four-wheel-drive, drive the s... Excellent campground with hundreds of sites. February and March it’s cooler and quieter. Nearby there is free camping on forest land, but the campground has shelters and easy access to the water. Pro tip: site 165 is the best in the house. Within just a few miles you’ll find the Roosevelt bridge and Tonto National Monument—both worth a visit. And if you have a day and four-wheel-drive, drive the scenic Apache trail scenic byway. Cholla Campground is billed as one of the largest solar-powered campgrounds in the United States. Since they don’t have electricity at the campsites, I’m not exactly sure what that means. All the bathroom lights are solar powered, I guess, and they have hot showers. There is, however, a campground host (a retired machinist) who drives around an old riding lawn mower (blade removed) he converted to run on solar power. He is, as you might expect, totally badass. This area is classic semi-arid desert southwest, with mesquite trees, shrubs whose names are unknown to me no matter how many times I look them up, the iconic saguaro (I learned last year that it is pronounced suh·waa·row) cacti and, of course, cholla cacti. The campground is right on the edge of the largest lake in Arizona, Roosevelt Lake. the sunsets here are beautiful, the soft light drizzling down each evening to blanket the rust covered Sierra Ancha Mountains that border the lake.

Wonderful campsite! Went during gov shutdown by radical rep, but they managed to keep facilities extremely clean! We’re lucky to get spot with a view!
