Nice wooded campsites, well maintained with showers and very close to town. Fee $29, but I paid $14.50 with my senior America the Beautiful pass. Good spot for passing through. Close to Flowing springs Day use area. Very peaceful and yes I can hear the traffic, but I definitely can't see it!

There was a lot of ants at campground 70 and also the showers weren’t working. The only reason I paid to be at this camp or even wanted to be at this camp was because of the shower. Do not go here. It’s a normal camp you’re gonna pay $60 Elyse don’t go here just cause you think there’s a shower. There’s no shower. It was an OK campground I did like the bathroomsbut yeah there was ants and no showe... There was a lot of ants at campground 70 and also the showers weren’t working.

I don’t know at least take down the shower information.

I drove all the way to Payson to stay here as I had 5 years ago.. they might as well close the whole campground!! $29 a night to park your rig..showers closed, no lights, no trash bins, no soap in the bathroom, the locks on the bathroom doors don't even lock!! I don't know who collects the $29 but that's just called robbery! I pulled into the handicap #18 spot..and woke up in the blistering sun.....

Don't waste your time or gas!!! Super disappointed!!

Site 75 on the mountain lion loop. It was a very short walk to a restroom with running water, flush toilets, no soap. Showers were out of order and apparently have been for quite some time. An elk and her baby walked right past me through my site in the morning, which was the highlight of my visit. YES, there is road noise. That’s because this campground is tucked between two highways.

An elk and her baby walked right past me through my site in the morning, which was the highlight of my visit. YES, there is road noise. That’s because this campground is tucked between two highways. It seemed to get very quiet in the night. I camped on a weeknight and was not bothered by noise from other campers, although they were quite near to my site. The camp host stopped by to check on me, and it’s clear that he cares about his job, and the conditions of the campground. My site had some trash such as water bottle caps, but I don’t blame the host for that in the least. It’s a shame that some campers are so disrespectful that they leave their trash for others. Perfect cell service with Verizon.

Nice bathrooms and good water. The showers were closed but id attribute that to the government shutdown and wouldn’t ding the campground for that!
