Show Low Lake Campground | Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ

We took over 400 people to Show Low campground for 7 days to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. If was awesome, even though it rained 5 out of the 7 days we loved the campground and time there. The camp host Tony  did an excellent job of taking care of us and we highly recommend this location.

Not bad. But not worth the money. Store and office was not open upon arrival at 2pm on a Saturday. Phones also are not answered. Luckily we had already reserved a spot.

We went to the posted Canp Host site and knocked on both campers there, but got no answer. So, we could not buy firewood or ask to move to a different site that we liked better and which didn't appear to be reserved. We never saw anyone who seemed to be a camp host during our stay. The upside is the place is wonderfully quiet and we slept well.

Bathroom was OK but had no hand soap in either the men's or women's.

So I think it is important to preface this review with, there are just somethings that campground staff cannot be responsible for, but it does impact the enjoyment of the stay.

The staff definitely did their best to provide great customer service. From the moment we arrived till our departure the office staff was friendly and helpful, and explained why the showers had to close at 7pm etc.  Maintenance staff......well that could use some work. I cleaned public restrooms for many years. It is a losing battle, but you still try. The stand alone restrooms were often.... not good. Toilet paper on the floor and small trash cans overflowing with used toilet paper. That is a cultural thing, and it sucks but the bathrooms need to be cleaned more.   The main bathrooms showed staff had cleaned them but there was soap bar wrappers on the ground that were never touched.

The campground itself, is not bad. If you live in a cookie cutter home, you'll have no issues, because you can hear the neighboring campsites chewing their food. most folks were friendly and adhered to the 10pm quite time.

The lake is very low from being drained for dam work. Most of the artificial fish habitats are out of the water, and there are unmarked hazards in the lake. Mud everywhere, and people parking on the boat ramp because they did want to walk all the way up to the parking lot. I heard sheriffs department came through and threatened to issue citations.

I would camp there again but definitely look for a site in one of the other smaller groupings of camp sites, and not in the main area.

It's a nice campground. Not real good for fishing right now. Lake levels low. I'm handicapped I struggled quite a bit. No campfires either.

Since the drained the lake to do repairs the water level is so low it's not very appealing to want to fish or even cruise the water. It's a shame .

Great location right by the lake made for a good camping trip overall (4/5 stars). However, the dirty men's toilets and zero supply of essentials like soap and paper towels were a downside that need to be addressed. Come for the scenery and beautiful camping sites, but be prepared for the restroom situation.

Wonderful place!! Devin is the man! We're just passing through and called at the last minute to get a camping spot. He hooked us up with a nice spot by the lake. Camp grounds were very clean and the bathrooms were awesome.

What a great place... I love everything about this place.. nice campground with fire pit and clean restrooms and showers... And the lake is just a walk away across the street...

We hiked down behind the dam and it was beautiful! We didn’t catch fish but it was quiet and beautiful. Only a few people came passing through.

Such a beautiful lake camping right next to the water was wonderful and being able to park right next to your tent was perfect !! Devon was such a nice host
If you’re looking for a place just to chill it’s pretty nice,
You have restaurants and stores pretty close by
That could be positive or negative just depends on the person and what you’re looking for

Yes there is an area you can park for free without getting messed with however they do not have any restrooms open or available to use
