Amazing experience, easy to find, clean restrooms and campsites. The host we're friendly and would do constant drive bys to see if everyone was good. Loved that bathrooms were close by, close enough to town that it was easy to go get anything we needed. Only downsides was you can hear the highway at night, and there is no swimming. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back.

Beautiful campground, with pine trees all around; very relaxing. The camp sites are roomy, the rest rooms are clean. While the water level in the lake is a bit low this year, people were still catching fish. In addition to the regular camp sites, there are double camo sites and group camp sites available if you are camping with others.

1 canp host could not be found anpityer one did not wanna do his job. Tried asking them about availability because on the website it said there were sites available but somehow the first come first serve spots had reservations on the. THAT IS NOT FIST COME FIRST SERVE. The managers didnt wanna do their job. Would have been a good place to camp if it wasnt so poorly run. Im sure all the people this weekend will leave a bunch of trash everywhere even tho theres signs that tell you to take your trash. What a poorly managed park

It's a campground, so no rooms or "service". The location is beautiful and peaceful but due to the on going drought the lake has diminished in size. Having lived in the area years ago and visiting often, it is sad to see how little water there is.

Spaces to close together, other that it is a beautiful place to visit. Clean bathrooms, clean campgrounds. Watched Orpreys and eagles catch fish out of the lake, and kaibab elk are the most beautiful elk In America.
