Nice boat ramp, it wasn’t very busy on a Thursday afternoon. Peaceful. I didn’t camp but the camping facilities seemed adequate but not spectacular. $20 for day use/parking - a little steep but what isn’t nowadays. Would have been a better value if I spent the day there instead of just 2.5 hours. Wanted to test out my boat after being stored for a few years, it was a good place for that. A good portion of the lake is a ‘no wake’ zone, but there was also a fair sized area that is open water. Jetskis and monster V8++ boats are prohibited.

Great place for a perfectly getaway! I'm not necessarily a birder and I don't fish, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy my stay here. It is definitely geared more for those hobbies. I was in the area to do some cycling out of Patagonia and this was a great base camp. I definitely recommend the East side for a quieter setting. Spots are nice and spread out with electric and water hookups. Showers were clean with hot water.

We camped at Patagonia for a week. There’s 2 different sides to the campground. Each has its advantages. Most spots on the side we stayed on had a water access trail. There were lots of bare trees around. The power to the campground went out 2 days in a row. A note notifying us in advance would have been nice. But that was not the case. The state park is pretty far from any stores so bring everything you may need. There’s a Walmart 17 miles away in Nogales

It's a beautiful park and well kept. Rv spaces are only electric and water, but there is a dump station. The spaces are not on top of each other like rv parks. There's room to park 2 vehicles, a fire pit and picnic table. Some spaces have a Ramada too. The lake is easily accessible. Large bathrooms and a nice shower building. It's pretty quiet too. It's 4 miles in from the main road, but it's a nice road. Most of the time it's quiet, but the weekend campers come flying in, play loud music, let their dogs bark, leave dogs tied outside unattended, don't pick up after their dogs. They park big trailers where they don't fit and take up part of the acces road to get other vehicles and trailers through. Come during the week, there is less hassle.

What an amazing gem! Our family stayed in a cabin. Although there is no plumbing in the cabins, the public restrooms were nearby and clean. Fantastic views, great walking paths, bird watching, kayaking, etc.
