Gorgeous part of Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. I really like that the bathrooms are single units, toilet and shower and enough space to change. Nobody walking in on you! There's also pit toilets along each loop nearby and accessible to campers. Be prepared for lots of little wildlife, we saw Stellar's Jay's, Albert's Squirrels, Hairy Woodpecker, Chipmunks, Ravens, and Black Birds. I'm sure th...

Be prepared for lots of little wildlife, we saw Stellar's Jay's, Albert's Squirrels, Hairy Woodpecker, Chipmunks, Ravens, and Black Birds. I'm sure there's even more but that's what we observed in the one night we stopped by. The campsites have firepits with grills, picnic tables, an concrete pads to park on.

I have to say this was one of the nicest, cleanest, friendly camp ground i have ever been to up on this mountain and I do a lot of camping. We took our side-by-side and went riding on the other side of the hwy from our camp site. The forest is huge with lots of trails. When the day was done it was so nice to walk done to the showers, very clean with a bathroom in the same individual room. Definite...

These campgrounds are extremely clean, and the campgrounds hosts are awesome. They have showers and flush toilets at the entrance all aothers are rustic, but clean. This isn't the place to come if you want to be loud and boisterous. If you want to enjoy your camping experience, this isn't a bad place for it.

I prefer to camp away from people. That said; This campground is well planned out, maintained and ran by friendly folks. Good facilities as far as water, tank dump for rv. We stayed at an electric site for a few nights and we liked it. Pretty well-behaved, and the sites are set up to where you have some privacy and nobody is on top of you. We have stayed in the non-electric sites and they were... I prefer to camp away from people. That said; This campground is well planned out, maintained and ran by friendly folks. Good facilities as far as water, tank dump for rv. We stayed at an electric site for a few nights and we liked it. Pretty well-behaved, and the sites are set up to where you have some privacy and nobody is on top of you. We have stayed in the non-electric sites and they were okay but people do run generators from time to time which irritates me to no end. No water at the sites but there are potable drinking water faucets around the campground in both electric and non-electric sections. Best to fill up when you arrive at the campground up by the dump stations. Tried a shower..they are ok. People that work there seem to like their jobs and the place is clean. They do sell firewood and ice. The website is nice because you can actually see where the camp spot is in relation to other camp spots. Easy reservation and if you have to cancel you get most of it back. I suggest an eastern exposure for trailer as the afternoon sun can still bear down. Like I said I prefer to be away from people but this is doable.

Nice campground, plenty of spaces. Last year I was in an electric site and this year standard. Both areas have good spacing between sites. Clean and plentiful bathrooms with water spigots outside. They have a dump station but no way to connect a hose to wash out your black tank. I really didn't like that. Plenty of dumpsters, nice showers but it's a push button deal 🙁. I've stayed two years and I... Nice campground, plenty of spaces. Last year I was in an electric site and this year standard. Both areas have good spacing between sites.
