It was awesome! Absolutely loved it. Everyone was friendly, the camp ranger was excellent, restrooms stayed clean. It was perfect. I love how close the shop is by the lake so we can get supplies and rent all kinds of watercraft.

There are only 25 sites here, so it feels intimate, but most of the sites are spaced far enough apart to not be bothered by your neighbors. This campground sits on a small lake with a spillway with nice water stocked with trout. They have a marina within a short walking distance that has rentals of kayaks and small trolling boats with electric motors, and there is a small store at the marina as well. There is an easy trail that goes completely around the lake that is just over 4 miles. Sites over looking the water include 25, 24, 23, 21, 19. Sites are gravel and most are pretty level. Sites can be used for RV or Tent. Site 13 is also nice, although away from the water, it is the most secluded and private site in the campground. The campground is easy to get to on a paved road just off Rim Road in the Mogollon Rim in AZ. I would recommend not making an advance reservation unless a water view site is available to reserve (or unless it is a Holiday) because chances are a premium water view site will likely be available as a first come site, also, there are multiple NPS campgrounds as well a dispersed camping available with just a few miles of each other all along this section of the rim. If you need hookups, there is one NPS campground in the area with hookups as well (Canyon Point). I had made a reservation in advance but upon arrival discovered that there were several first come sites that were premium sites overlooking the water, whereas the sites available for reservation were the less desirable sites. I would definitely camp here again. The reason for only 4 stars is because of the rude host, hopefully the other camp hosts are more friendly and more visible. The camp host was NOT at all friendly and was actually rude at times and acted as if campers were a bother and could rarely be found when needed. Also, the pit toilets were not as well maintained as other NPS campgrounds in the area.

Great location, quiet, and onsite staff were friendly.

With it being so hard to get reservations, we were very disappointed to see so many sites with reservations on them that were in fact empty. Something needs to be done to discourage people from reserving sites they don't use.
