Everything for the most part went according to plan. Staff was friendly. However, they really do need to update their web site. There no way of contacting reasonable questions ahead of booking. The FAQ section is way outdated and no way to make human contact. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Very nice campsite. The cool weather was a great relief from the summer heat down below the mountain. The lake was a nice fishing spot. We like the closeness to Summerhaven and Mt Lemmon restaurants. There were many hiking trails everywhere.

A wonderful experience my first time out dry camping in my camping van. The temp was 21 degrees cooler from home. I stayed in the Red Tail Loop, space #48. It is a fantastic spot. I shared this loop with 2 couples. We all had our privacy, but I enjoyed having someone close. It was very peaceful, quiet, relaxing. It was so dark, and quiet, I slept without earplugs for the first time since 1971. I used the Bear Food Box to store my dirty dishes from cooking and grilling. The loop has a Pit Toilet. I had a picnic table, bench, and extra area to relax. I loved that I could reserve my spot, so when I arrived, it was all ready for me to pull in, and start my fun. I walked to the lake too.

great lake trout - 14" to 16". Rich red meat. Made a GREAT dinner. Camp restroom was very clean. Beautiful weather. We'll be back.

Site#48 our first time at this site after many years coming here. This site is our new favorite! The only negative thing was when we arrived we drove through around the top past the other sites the trailer at #50 was parked partially on the road and I had to maneuver past the trailer and the tree on the other side of the road with inches to spare.
The sites were all clean and the restroom was spotless. Overall a wonderful experience. One question, if we needed to contact someone for a problem at night what can we do? I saw no camp hosts or Deputies as in the past.
We appreciate this campground very much.

Thank you

Rose Canyon campground is clean and well maintained. Vicky was particularly freindly and helpful. We have camped there before and surely will in the future.

Beautiful place to fish and camp. Almost entire staff is super friendly and helpful except for one. Avoid Shane R. at all costs! The guy is rude, unprofessional, and clearly on a power trip. He really takes away from the experience of peace and quiet when he's speeding around in his golf cart yelling at campers.

Our camping stay was from Aug 31 - Sept 6th. Our camp hosts Shane/Vicky, Pete/Leslie and Chris were the best. They all checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed & if we had any questions/concerns! They took the time to say HelloWe also appreciate the cleanliness of the restroom & keeping them supplied.Thank you to our hosts & look forward to seeing them again soon!

This is a fantastic, well maintained campground. We stayed in one of the rv loops and had plenty of privacy. Friendly hosts.

Prepare for long walk to lake, and lots of crowds at the lake area.
