Awesome full service campground within walking distance of the shoreline. Place was a wreck though with bathrooms that were barely usable. Camp host came the next day and was cleaning. So I assume it’s hit or miss. Other than that nice to have showers for the ladies if you don’t have a portable one.

Very nice campgrounds. Even numbered sites are first come first serve. Most sites are somewhat private with bushes between sites. Very nice views of the lake and scrounging mountains. There are no stores anywhere close so pack what you need entirely. We stayed in the buckhorn loop. Each loop has its own camp host. I don’t know who is responsible for cleaning the bathrooms but the woman’s bathrooms at the far end of Buckhorn loop was filthy. The sink looked like maybe someone got sick in it and no one cleaned it up. I have never seen black widows so abundant ever before. There were widow webs in every corner and around the base of the two toilets. And spiders all over. It was scary but I survived. The toilet paper was stocked well and not much trash. But the sink counters and toilets could be cleaned way better. The other bathrooms were cleaner. All were stocked well. Showers work, there is just one button that you push to start the shower it gets warm not hot. It’s barely tolerable. Feels good if you are hot. I would not try the shower in the winter. It would be too cold. I will return to this campsite.

Nice campground with formative host. Was there during a good thunderstorm. Winds blow from every direction 😆 bathroom in my loop was clean, although 1 of 2 toilets was out of service. Landscape is beautiful and there is a really cool path that goes fully around.

Very well maintained Campground with very nice flushing toilet bathrooms and heated water showers. The spot we picked has a great view of Roosevelt Lake. Good trails with a more rugged ones that lead down to the lake. There is a boat ramp and large parking lot in this campground as well. There is a RV dump station too.

This is a beautiful campground in the low desert. Incredibles scenery all around with the Matazals right there and the lake just beyond the campground. The only issue we had this past week is that the camp hosts were pretty lazy on cleaning the bathrooms. I'm sure that will change when the Camp Host changes. They do have flush toilets and showers... But the camp host needs a little motivation.

Wonderful campsite! Went during gov shutdown by radical rep, but they managed to keep facilities extremely clean! We’re lucky to get spot with a view!

Great views, pretty quiet you can drive to Bermuda beach and enjoy swimming and lake activities. Very easy access.

Great place to camp, near to lake, a large campground with lot of camp sites, all sites have a shaded Ramada seating area, fire pit and plenty of space to put 2-3 tents. Flush toilets and showers available which were clean compared to many other campgrounds we have visited. Had kids playground with swings and slides. Overall it was a good experience for us as a group of 6 families with kids.

Excellent campground with hundreds of sites. February and March it’s cooler and quieter. Nearby there is free camping on forest land, but the campground has shelters and easy access to the water. Pro tip: site 165 is the best in the house. Within just a few miles you’ll find the Roosevelt bridge and Tonto National Monument—both worth a visit. And if you have a day and four-wheel-drive, drive the scenic Apache trail scenic byway. Cholla Campground is billed as one of the largest solar-powered campgrounds in the United States. Since they don’t have electricity at the campsites, I’m not exactly sure what that means. All the bathroom lights are solar powered, I guess, and they have hot showers. There is, however, a campground host (a retired machinist) who drives around an old riding lawn mower (blade removed) he converted to run on solar power. He is, as you might expect, totally badass. This area is classic semi-arid desert southwest, with mesquite trees, shrubs whose names are unknown to me no matter how many times I look them up, the iconic saguaro (I learned last year that it is pronounced suh·waa·row) cacti and, of course, cholla cacti. The campground is right on the edge of the largest lake in Arizona, Roosevelt Lake. the sunsets here are beautiful, the soft light drizzling down each evening to blanket the rust covered Sierra Ancha Mountains that border the lake.

This is an outstanding campground. Quiet, clean and great organized spots. The camp host in Teddy Bear loop was so friendly and informative. The rest rooms were well taken care of and the toilets have real water flushing. There are no water or power hook ups but there are places to dump refuse and also places to get clean water. There are nice showers but we didn't use them. The playground is simple but the kids loved it. We loved it.

Decent campground. Watch out for the rats. With my hood open and a light inside I still found footprints. Nice hiking trail with views of bay. Beach is rocky. Showers were cold.

Have come here two years in a row. My one and only complaint is the showers are FREEZING. But otherwise it's great! Friendly camp hosts, private spots, never crowded. Hear coyotes pretty often but they're harmless. Stars are beautiful, you're right on the lake. Dog friendly. Bathrooms are clean. Cell phone service for both Verizon and T-Mobile.

Nice and quiet area ,far from everything, fishing, boat ramps and a lot of parking, and making sure this little one stays of the road lol

Amazing waking up to a covey of quail every morning. Sunrise over the mountain.

The bathrooms are closed only a portapotty. Some water spots most are broke. No access to the lake from campground with out driving. The camp is beautiful and the lake is a dream.
