GREAT cabin, well maintained restrooms, showers and entire campground area. Very friendly people. Pretty lake with great views. Watching the sunrise over the lake was amazing! Would recommend driving up Mt Graham if you have the time.(It takes a LONG time to get to Riggs lake and be aware of the dirt road, but still worth it). We only had 1 night, but you need 2 to see everything in the area. We will definitely be back!!

We have come here and rented a cabin the last 2 years and had amazing experiences both times! The facilities are cleaned and well maintained. It’s a great park!

Beautiful park and campground. Lots to do here...hike, swim, kayak, fish, bike ride, picnic, camp. The campground loops are very nice. Two have hookups and one loop without. The non electric "group camp” is usually open for day of camping. The shower and toilets are sparkling. Minutes to the town of Safford AZ.

Neat state park. You get pretty views of Mt Graham, and the lake itself if medium sized. There's not a trail around it, but there's a few areas you can park around it, and even ramps that take you down to the lake. They also have a boat ramp too and a small swimming beach. There's a few picnic areas. The restrooms are very clean and there's accessible parking. The visitor center is clean, though small and they have a few souvenirs and yummy ice-cream. As for trails, they have a 0.75 (?) rocky hike up a small hill with some interpretive signs and another trails that is a straight path that takes you in between the campgrounds. What's neat is if you pay up at the Dankworth State Park down the road, you get free entry here same day.

Roper Lake is WONDERFUL! The staff was unfailingly friendly and helpful, even though this was the holidays and they had to work. The facilities have been upgraded in the past few years and are in TOP shape. What a great park, thank you for keeping it up. We camped in our fifth wheel and hooked up to their 50amp power. Water was available on-site with the power. Dump station (nicest I've ever seen) at the park entrance. This was the fourth time we have been here in the past 10 years and each time the park is significantly improved. The $50/night fee is not inexpensive but the new/well maintained facilities it is worth it. Highly recommended!

Great Cabins with air conditioners and clean bathrooms. Lake is small and has a nice swimming area. We stayed over the Fourth of July. And walked to the Mariah Mesa to watch fireworks for Safford and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend.

This is our second visit to Roper Lake. As last year, the people at the lake were great. Friendly and helpful. The park was clean which is the usual way we find all the state parks! The weather was perfect... Warm in the day and cool at night. Casa Manana in Safford lived up to their reputation with a great meal for all of our group. The only downside was the lake level was down about 6 feet from last year. This meant the little cove we liked to kayak into to watch the birds was no longer accessable. We still kayaked the lake and enjoyed our time on the water. Another successful outing for our club at Roper Lake State Park! Thank you to the lake staff!!

Super quiet, great escape to decompress. Vert spacious back-in sites. Spot 20 in the Cottonwood loop.
