I'm somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars. The good - Campground and campsite were immaculate. Settling in was very fast and easy. Preferred C (hillside, overlooking the lake) was great. My neighbors were very friendly. The staff was friendly. The not-so-good - Check-in at Bonelli Bluffs was a treat. First, you stop at a gate to confirm all your details. Then you’re told to park at the green curb near the main office, which, of course, was full. With no legal space nearby, I parked across the way in the lot. An employee came over, repeated everything I’d just heard, then finally admitted I was fine where I was due to the circumstances. Nice to know common sense eventually gets approved. Pay close attention to all the e-bikes and scooters throughout the campground. Younger campers sometimes dart out onto the road without looking. They should enforce some e-bike/scooter rules or drop the speed limit down to 2.5 mph for vehicles. Regardless, traveling inside the campground warrants attention. Little parking options around the campground, outside of your campsite, laundry, and market lots. In certain areas, you are allowed to park with your right 2 wheels on the grass (near the fishing cove/tent sites). Puddingstone Park was closed during our visit. The pools in the campground were packed. Overall, it was a decent first trip. Extra points for the views on the backside of C. If you're ok with a high-capacity, yet clean city campground, this is a good place for you. If you're looking for a more intimate camping experience, look elsewhere.

We’ve been visiting Bonelli Bluffs for years—at least three times annually—and have always appreciated its great location and scenic setting. It’s been a reliable local getaway for our family. Unfortunately, since the change in ownership, the quality of service has clearly declined. The park’s overall upkeep isn’t what it used to be, and recent experiences have been disappointing. During our Father’s Day weekend stay, the entire RV park experienced multiple power outages. What made it worse was the complete lack of communication—no staff updates, no check-ins, and no transparency on when power would be restored. Guests were left completely in the dark. Additionally, the main park area and access to the lake have been closed for weeks due to ongoing power issues and unavailable facilities. It’s frustrating to book a stay expecting access to these amenities only to find them inaccessible without any proactive notice. We truly hope the management turns things around. Bonelli Bluffs has so much potential, but it needs serious attention and better communication with guests.

We had an amazing time camping for the weekend. It was great to try out our new Blackstone. The spots are easy to back into. The hookups are well maintained, and the spots are fairly level. It's nice to be able to get away so close to home. We even got to play corn hole.

We stay here every year and are always happy w our stay. This year we thought ahead and got a view site overlooking the lake. So beautiful! Rolling hills in one direction and the lake in another. Looking down you can see the park. Very quiet day and night. Lots of wildlife at night so make sure to use the numerous metal trash drums. Coyotes run through the park at night as do skunks and possums and rabbits. The help is wonderful and attentive. A gem in a fairly urban area.

My family and I have been here thee times now and we love it. Preferred C site 41 is one of the best Sites there. It overlooks the whole lake. The airport is right next door, we enjoyed watching the planes take off... you do get used to it. The staff are great and they keep the park looking really good. We road our bikes around the whole lake... all the way to the damn. So much fun! We will be back soon.

We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The location is wonderful. Beautiful views of the mountains and reservoir. The lots were roomy. My favorite feature was all of the hiking trails. They had some well paved paths for my elderly father. I also went on a solo hike that was more strenuous. The air traffic was pretty constant from the nearby airport. Neat at first but it got old when I needed to make a phone call. My only criticism is that the restroom could have used more attention. One stall was out of toilet paper most of the time we were there. It was also pretty messy. Showers were free and the water was very hot.

Beautiful, pristine location. This was my 2nd time here and I am impressed with the location. Great customer service, all of the staff that we have encountered were pleasant and hospitable. The grounds are well maintained and clean. For being so close to the freeways, it is pretty quite. If you don't mind the occasional plane flying over as it is next to a small airport, you will enjoy this spot. The views of the water at sunset are amazing and the views of the mountains on a nice clear day are beautiful. We will definitely be coming back.

All the staff we talked to were very helpful and polite. The grounds were well kept. It's not super fancy (neither is our rig) but if you get the right spot you may be in for some sweet views. Our neighbors were nice and over all it was a quiet and peacful experience. Will return, would recommend.

We stayed here for two weeks - Dec. 2021 thru Jan. 2022. First off let me say we were skeptical about this campground based on some of the previous reviews, but was willing to give it a chance due to the location (perfectly between families homes that live in the area). This RV resort is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed here for two weeks and still did not get a chance to see it all. The hiking trails, the beautiful park, lake & the amazing views of the mountains and city will have you not wanting to leave. We stayed in site E-27 and will only stay in this site going forward. It’s perfectly positioned with views of the mountains and just enough space between neighboring camping sites. The security and grounds employees are exceptionally nice and even the residents who live here full time. We’ve visited many campgrounds in AZ & CA and this one is by far the best, we can’t wait to return. The resort is perfectly quiet in the evenings but never harassed us about hanging out past 10pm. We decided to extend our stay 3 more days mid trip and the resort staff were extremely helpful and accommodating for us to not have to move sites. The resort even reimbursed us more than we were expecting after they made an error on our additional charges for extending our stay. Not a perfect 5 stars due to the communication of the office staff is a bit short. Their communication style is professional but unclear at times and you feel rushed when you call them about things such as extending your stay and propane cost & delivery. Overall 4.5 Stars and a beautiful, clean, relaxing and enjoyable stay.

This campground is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted at the check in by an awesome gentleman and our space had breathtaking views. Snowy mountain tops and a view of the water just made us feel very lucky to see such amazing things. We truly felt like we were staying at a high end RV resort due to the condition of the grounds. They are not only maintained but there is plenty of nice green grass areas. Plus the spaces are not close at all which gives you a private feeling. First time trip here and we are definitely coming back. Very close to raging waters so a summer trip would be incredible.

A friend of mine stays here frequently therefore I do get to enjoy the premises whenever I visit him. It is a very green and clean campground. you do have sewer and power connections and that is a great plus. Depending on the lot you get, the views can be really beautiful and majestic. There is a small airplane airport nearby of which small planes take off towards the end of the day and that might be a nuisance for some but never bothered perconally.

Large campground and very spacious sites. We had more than enough space between sites (Area B). Lovely lake and walking trails. The only negative thing I feel would be that there is no fenced in dog area to let my pooch off his leash. There’s plenty of space to walk but no where to play fetch.
