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.

Lots of sites with reasonable pricing for amenities like running water/spigots, composting toilet/bathrooms, showers, RV dump site, and more. Great trails to hike and even better views. Right up against the water. Very friendly campers and camp host. I’ll never forget this beautiful place!

Great campground near the lake. Some spots has direct view of the lake. Roosevelt lake is good for large boats but not so great for kayaking or inflatables. It is huge and near shore there are so many trees sticking up may damage you inflatable. There is a trail from campground to boat ramp which is beautiful scenery. Overall great place to camp.
