Perfect spot for a family camping trip. Weve been reserving the campground for almost 40 years and plan to continue. Theres plenty of room for the grandkids to play outdoor sports and many hikes and walks right from the campground.Mingus Lake and the Lookout are a short drive or a nice walk away. The meadow next to the campground provides views of various wildlife.

It was a great location that our club loved. Camping in the trees, with a fire ring and benches in the shade, worked out great! We had about 25 vehicles arrive for our camping car show. The parking area was tight for anyone trailering their vehicles there. Dropping off and turning around was a challenge with how narrow the access was. Maybe next year, we can explore nearby staging areas for trailers. Thank you for a great experience!

We loved our experience at this group campground. Plenty of room for tents and a nice large cooking eating area with 12 tables and 3 BBQ grills. We will likely come back again!

Great camp spot. Easy to get to but you feel away from it all. Camp hosts were super friendly. We had everything we needed.

There is one 30 amp plug and two 110 amp plugs there. Two bathrooms, men and women's. Also a pond down the road. You can bring your ATV as long as they have OHV tags .

It was very nice to have such a private site. No generators to listen to. Lots of wildlife in the meadow across from us every evening. We heard wild turkeys in the morning. Saw elk and deer at night. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. We brought our own water and do we’re good. It was a very pleasant experience.

This is one of my favorite places. The location is great, the camp host is friendly and non intrusive and the place is clean. There are multiple tables and grills and a great firepit. Tons of room to spread out and enjoy nature and the preserve next door is great for wildlife spotting.

This is a perfect campground for us. It is close for traveling to and easy to find and access. I really enjoy having the pit toilets available, and a camp host right down the road. I've always preferred to boondocks and get away from everyone while camping, but the huge increase in outdoor adventure seekers over the last few years has made that difficult. Reserving this group site gives me the camping privacy I crave and allows me to invite friends and family to join me. I have reserved for the past 2 years and intend to continue using this site for years to come.

I couldn't say that it was perfect or pretty soon everybody would be reserving my favorite spot and I'd have to go somewhere else, but it is a pretty awesome spot. Elevation is good so that it is reasonably cool, even in the Arizona summer. It is farther from Phoenix than is good for families with little kids. But the facilities are excellent and there is plenty of room to have a large group of campers. IT is good to have the tables and charcoal grills but if I want to bring propane grills it is more difficult to find enough room around the built in units to not crowd yourself around the tables. Even with that, it is still a great place to camp.
