We love this campground!

Bathrooms were very clean for vault toilets. Smell kept at minimum for June with full campground. Sites were a little close but not as close as other sites I've camped in. Camp host was very friendly and kind.

Absolutely love this campsite! Been reserving for many many years and will keep coming back. East to navigate the website to find all your favorite campsites.....Campsites alwasy well maintained and camp host very friendly and helpful. Woodscanyon lake is close by and the store is a must for afternoon ice cream.

I'm thankful we decided to go during the week. My wife and I were both talking about what a mess it's going to be over the summer months for campers with only 1 spot to fill up with potable water, which happens to be at the same location as the dump stations. We made a suggestion to a park manager that it may be wise to notify campers prior to heading up to their campsites at Woods Canyon Lake to fill up with water, before arriving at the campground.

It was quiet n peaceful

@JohnW4841416 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #8

Nice clean campground with toilets and water spigots for taking water back for cleaning and washing. Lots of shade and each campground had a fire pit, grill, and table. Lots of room on the sites for a few tents or truck and trailer or RV.

@CaroleM75BAD1F · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #3

Great space for our 30' fifth wheel! Beautiful place! Will be going back.

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Oct 3, 2024 at Campsite #7

Awesome campground I've been there multiple times, the camp host were fantastic very kind and helpful. The bathrooms are very very clean

@amyk3881819 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #11

The camp host was very pleasant, and kept the bathrooms really clean. Wow! Also, our campsite was one of the cleanest National Forest ones we have come across so far. We were impressed. The proximity to the lake is great. We were in campsite 11, across feom the bathrooms that dont seem to be shown on the map. BUT, the site backs up to a gradual hill with no other campers on that side. The campground is heavily used on weekends, and some fellow campers don't seem to understand that there might be other people wanting to enjoy nature. We will come back again for a midweek and quieter experience.

@DorothyGBFA082 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #13

good weather but had a little problem with mice. Ron and Mary( hosts)very nice nd helpful.

@KristinK721393 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #5

There were two different host there. Both were very engaged and helpful and kind. Unfortunately we had to leave early as my camping partner had an emergency appendectomy attach while we were there!

@MaribelNEA7743 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #15

Very good

@KampornKE30B43 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #6

One of the most beautiful lakes we camped in AZ.

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #13

Good spot unless it rains. The hill next to it drains through camp site. Filled up the fire pot and made a muddy mess. Hosts were good. They did good with keeping it clean. Friendly too. Still too many dogs. Sounded like an animal shelter. Only saw "2" people who picked up their poop. Most dogs off leashes around campground and lake trail. Its just a matter of time efore something happens. Maybe I am too good. I like everyone to follow the rules and show some common courtesy. I would revisit same site during dryer times.

@SusanS9297654 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #24

Campground host was not very attentive they didn't even check us in. Mary who works for them Mon & toe checked us out the second day & was busy cleaning up the bathrooms & camping spots. She said they don't clean & leave the stuff for her to do when she is filling in. We have camped here before & the spot was nice & we had our own bathroom. I would check out the host as they suck.

@DonnaW8278919 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #21

Love this campground. Is usually full as it is small. Restrooms are clean,

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #16

The location is great. Close to the lake and a 1/4 walk to the store. The campground does not have paved road or paved parking in campsite. It can get really muddy during a storm. The hosts are friendly and kept the outhouses clean. The "CON" of the campground is dogs. There are a lot of dogs that have irresponsible parents. There were approximately 20 dogs, during my stay, for the 25 campsites. I did not see anyone picking up after their dogs. So, always look where you walk. Also, half of the pooch parents are letting them run. Chasing squirrels and whatever else was running. There was plenty of barking too. I have been camping in this campground for almost 30 years. It is getting bad with the number of dogs and inconsideration from their owners. I love doggies, but I don't love the nuisance from all of this. If the dog population does not bother you, it is great place to bring the kids to be able to hike down to the water and do some fishing or kayaking. It makes it nice that you don't have to drive and find a parking space near the lake.

Super duper, great camp host, great spot.

@MaxBE7FB6DBDE7 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #20

@Catherine97571 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #16

Doug and Donna were the greatest camp hosts Ive ever had! They were friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make my stay really comfortable. The lake is spectacular. Bald eagles, shooting stars. Amazing spot!

@Christine33606 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #3

Beautiful location, right on the lake Campsites can be dusty, but thats just AZ. Bathrooms are pretty gross, but again, youre campingso..We would definitely go again. We enjoyed it overall!

@StefanieM4EAF9 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #18

Love the little campground with close proximity to the lake! We felt very comfortable leaving our kayaks down by the lake at night. Everything was clean and well kept! Camp host very friendly!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
