Wonderful, rustic campground. Very clean, Robin and Russell do a great job ! No trash anywhere and clean vaults! The drinking water is fabulous. I saw many Elk early in the AM in the meadow by the cg. Love this place, nice and cool when everywhere else is hot. 9,000ft elevation. Very beautiful scenery. Ill be back for sure next summer! Thank you My only complaint is the road coming into the cg. Please fix it! Very wash board, horrible road.

Wonderful natural area, intact spruce forest as well as evidence of past burns. Surrounding meadows with some cows. Good for low key hiking, very good for birdwatching. Great camp hosts! Friendly, accommodating, and helpful.

I stayed in a spot that was rated for a 45' trailer. Mine is 43' and it was incredibly difficult getting it into the space. It was a pull through space. Between the curve being very sharp for a spot rated for 45' and the boulders they have around the bend of the site, it was really hard to get in and out. Then there were people that rented 3 sites and all stayed in one right across from me with about 5 dogs that would not shut up. Really not a good experience.

Wynn campground was excellent we had a great time we had sunshine we had rain we had clouds we had thunder lightning plenty of lakes nearby Great Meadows we even saw some wildlife including a bear One of the great places to camp for sure I think it's close to everything but it's also a little bit secluded and out of the way so it's kind of nice if you want to be in the White mountains you know wind campground is a place I definitely recommend you're close to sunrise you're close to Holly lake even even close to pinetop lakeside show low McNary what a great time and good facilities The bathrooms were out house style so they were pretty simple you know nothing spectacular but there was there was running water if you needed to wash dishes and things like that I brought my own water for drinking because I didn't want to take a chance on anything but probably was fine parking was good the camp host was friendly and we actually camped in the group setting which is nice for groups larger than 15 people and we probably had about 40 I'm guessing 45 and it was very well suited for that purpose we did make our reservations a long time in advance so I highly recommend that
