There was a lot of ants at campground 70 and also the showers weren’t working. The only reason I paid to be at this camp or even wanted to be at this camp was because of the shower. Do not go here. It’s a normal camp you’re gonna pay $60 Elyse don’t go here just cause you think there’s a shower. There’s no shower. It was an OK campground I did like the bathroomsbut yeah there was ants and no shower so they really should be updating that and they really shouldn’t be charging extra for your shower. I don’t know at least take down the shower information.

I drove all the way to Payson to stay here as I had 5 years ago.. they might as well close the whole campground!! $29 a night to park your rig..showers closed, no lights, no trash bins, no soap in the bathroom, the locks on the bathroom doors don't even lock!! I don't know who collects the $29 but that's just called robbery! I pulled into the handicap #18 spot..and woke up in the blistering sun.. that campground used to be awesome..now it's a dark parking lot.. no wonder the host works there..they don't have to do ANYTHING! Don't waste your time or gas!!! Super disappointed!!

Nice wooded campsites, well maintained with showers and very close to town. Fee $29, but I paid $14.50 with my senior America the Beautiful pass. Good spot for passing through. Close to Flowing springs Day use area. Very peaceful and yes I can hear the traffic, but I definitely can't see it!

Stayed there twice and was attacked by spider mites both times. Will not return for that reason. Tried two different sites to see if it was just that site but mites were there too. The park in itself in nice, the sites are fine, location is great, but these creatures were too much. Stay at your own risk. Wished someone would have warned me!

Location was beautiful. There was some road noise but not to bad. Elk wondered thru the camp ground. Now the bad: bathrooms where absolutely disgusting(seems all they did was put toilet paper in there never cleaned them up) doors hanging off the hinges, no water pressure. The showers are out of order. Some of the doors have no locks on them. Then people just randomly walk thru your camp site and stand and stare at you. Dogs run around on with out leashes on. Our camp site was covered in trash when we checked in and dog poop all over. The second night we where there a massive tree fell less then 5 feet from our tent(that was a interesting night) and bees galore as well as yellow jackets. Camp host were nice, but never really seen.
