Best Campgrounds near Chandler, AZ

Amazing stay! Came across a rattle snake when hiking. Very quiet and peaceful. Clean dark sky for star watching. The park host was amazing. Restrooms were great. Each campsite has plenty of space in between. Literally no complaints at all.

Beautiful and spacious campsite ---oh my goodness!! My fav spot ever to this date after a couple years of semi-retired dispersed camping. We almost didn't go on--there's a UTV staging area right off the road, & we pulled in, unhooked, and filled the rocky bumpy road, determing, Mike-the-RV can do this if we go slow. He did!!! Best site ever ...first one to the right after the rocky up and down hill. Spacious. Trails from the site. Beautiful! Our 43-foot RV did just fine as Kevin went super slow and carefully steered the best route up the road. Worth it!!!

Nice views of the lake. Perfect for RVs or trailers. Tent camping was difficult as there is no shade and it’s VERY rocky.

Brand new "No Motor vehicle" signs have been erected this week. Literally I got here yesterday and the sign was up today. The last spot up the road the exact same thing.

We went in November, the week of Thanksgiving. It was amazing. Had a spot right on the water. For sure take paddle boards and kayaks, there is an amazing little canyon to explore. The only downside was the birds are very friendly, you can't leave food out.

This is my second time staying here. It is such a well-maintained campground with beautiful large sites. The bathrooms are super clean and modern. power and water at the sites in the Family Campground. Nice picnic tables and views. It was hot when I arrived so I hope to take advantage of the many hiking trails early in the morning before it gets hot! Friendly staff. There is a library and nature center as well as many picnic areas.

I usually go further north of the cove to great open space where you can really spread out. shoreline fishing is great and peaceful. Depending how far you go along the northwest shore you can get nearly a mile away from the hardstand toilets and trash. Lots of places to pull up or pull in.

Notes about nudists are correct. If you have a large rig or trailer, do not cross the arroyo as the access road has some washout spots.  Adventure vans and off road capable will be fine.  A bit of road noise at night if you don't cross the arroyo.

Pretty clean, but some users seem to leave their trash behind.

Great overnight hang, but not a long term location at all.

Paid the $16 annual state land trust fee. Stayed a few nights. Was windy and dusty on our stay, but generally not much to complain about.

We absolutely love this campground. Close to everything, including some awesome Mountain Biking from green to double black diamond trails. Large spaces with water, power and super clean. Highly Recommend!!!!

Great trails! Big rig friendly boondocking. Busy dirt road, as there is an active mine off the road. Loud dump trucks and dusty, but a beautiful desert oasis, nonetheless.

Perfect area with lots of open space, plenty of clean, flat camp spots with fire pits. Roaming cows and great trails.

Hidden away camp area. Only way to get to it is to boat in, but there is plenty of dock space

Stayed one night on thru-trip. Wow, seems like best of the Sonoran Desert. Beautiful. Well kept park, safe, quiet, with clean single shower/bathroom stalls that are spacious, but some do not have hooks to hang stuff. Cell service. Was 90 the day we left (~March 23rd), night temp was cool and windows left open.

Food: Chorizo & bacon mac & cheese with garlic and tortillas!

Great secluded campgrounds the best camp spot is 11 and 12 however it is kind of dirty people do leave things and don't take things to the garbage other than that it's a great place to fish to camp and not have a whole lot of people there there is no cell service so you're off the grid.

It was a fun dirt road. You might be able to get back there without 4x4 but certainly it is strongly recommended. Very rough road and about a 2 mile drive.
