Terrie is a blessing! We arrived on Memorial Day weekend knowing our chances of getting a spot were slim. Terrie was amazing and found us an awesome spot right across from a bathroom, perfect with us having two kids. She went above and beyond that night by letting us get some firewood after hours because we didn’t have any. Our kiddos were calling her Grandma the rest of the weekend. The site was fantastic and clean, as well as the bathrooms (yes, even the vaults!) we will absolutely come back.

We absolutely LOVE Terry. At Canyon Point Campground!! We met her and her husband Pete last year. She helped us out so much. We were so excited to learn that they were back again this year. Seriously, Terry is the very best! The other staff are very friendly as well. This is my wife and I’s favorite camp ground in Arizona!!!! So clean. Spacious. Beautiful.

Arrived on Memorial Day Weekend knowing the possibilities of getting a campsite we’re going to be very slim. We arrived at closing time for the check-in, but the camp host, Terrie, was still in the office. She told me there was one spot left and gave it to us, after even allowing us to drive to it and see it first to make sure it was going to work. She was so kind and was so helpful when she didn’t have to be! Because of her kindness we were able to enjoy our very first tent camping experience in this beautiful campground over the holiday weekend. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated Terrie!

Had a great experience at Canyon Point Campground. The area is peaceful, scenic, and perfect for relaxing away from the busy city atmosphere. The campground was well maintained, and the natural surroundings made it a great place for hiking, camping, and enjoying the outdoors. The air was fresh, the views were beautiful, and the nights were especially quiet and calming. It is a great spot for families, friends, or anyone looking to disconnect and spend time in nature. The campsites had enough space and the overall environment felt safe and comfortable. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quiet outdoor getaway and a nice camping experience.
