Brookchar Campground is tucked on the banks of Big Lake in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. The campground is a small, tent-only facility comprised entirely of walk-in sites. Of the lake's five campgrounds, Brookchar is nearest to the water. The stocked lake draws anglers, and boat rentals and a boat ramp make it easy for campers to enjoy the lake's blue waters.
Big Lake is one of Arizona's top trout fishing lakes, with rainbow, cutthroat, brook and Apache trout being the most sought-after species. The recreation area is also popular for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, birding and wildlife viewing.
The campground sits in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest at an elevation of 9,100 feet. The area is scenic, forested with ponderosa pine, fir, spruce and aspen, interspersed with high elevation meadows. Summer temperatures are pleasant and cool, a nice respite from the heat of lower deserts. Visitors should come prepared for afternoon thunderstorms and cool nighttime temperatures.
Several other lakes can be found in the surrounding area. Visitors can also explore endless vistas and take part in many outdoor activities in the surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, which encompasses 2 million acres of magnificent mountain country in east-central Arizona and New Mexico.

Guide
Stayed here overnight to visit the Petrified Forest National Park.
Staff was friendly and helpful. The "cowboy" breakfasts and dinners are simple friendly events, although I didn't eat there.
Lots are standard RV set-ups, all right next to each other. Lot was fairly level, but still needed from front/back leveling even in my small van. Gravel driveways, gravel lots.
Laundry had about 5-6 washers and the same number of dryers.
This location is near a highway that is busy all night. You are not right on the highway, but the steady sound of cars and trucks can be heard all night. Not super loud, but not peaceful either.
Wifi was slow and inconsistent. Even though I was right by the main building, my connection sometimes said "unable to connect, try moving closer", or just wouldn't connect, or if it did, was unusably slow. Verizon wireless was great though (about 10mb).
I'd stay again for a convenient overnight.
GuideMy first KOA—pricey for a tent spot (car camping) with a small shared area and limited tables. Tent spots are in view of noisy I40. I did feel safe here, considering the KOA branding, and liked the shorter drive to PFNP. Facilities are nice, otherwise, with close bathhouses and a sweet little chuckwagon serving breakfast and dinner.
GuideEasy on and off interstate. Level sites. Clean campground. Looks like renovating some areas...nice. All the amenities of a KOA. Serves breakfast and dinner...nice
LegendGreat proximity to the Petrified forrest NP. Campsites were wide and level. Nice amenities include the chairs, table and fire pit. It also had a fair amount of privacy. Nice experience. Staff were. friendly and helpful.
The power did go out with 102F. The staff restored power and came around to all campsites with the status, Much appreciated.
TravelerWe live in the Phoenix area, and we use this KOA as a launching off point for trips to the East. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained. We were assigned spot #58 which is a big spot with a paver patio, furniture and a firepit. It also has privacy fencing on each side and full hookups. With our KOA discount it was $81.83. This was our first time with this large of a spot. Next time, we will go back to a regular spot again for a better price. The location is just off Interstate 40 which makes it convenient, but you can hear some of the freeway noise and an occasional train. They serve a delicious breakfast with a good variety that has an all you can eat pancake option for only $3.99. There is also a Cowboy Cookout every night. They are making more improvements to the grounds. Some spots will have a private enclosed patio with a gazebo and fire pit. For dog owners, there are some spots with your own enclosure, but those are hard to get. There is a dog run as well as a designated dog walking area with trees and trash cans.
LegendLarge gravel lot. Modern utilities, large sites.

We pulled in after hours and a ranger kindly helped us find our spot. She recommended a cool hiking trail to check out the next morning. Bathrooms and showers are super clean and well maintained. There is only one designated bathhouse building so if you park far, you’ll be walking a ways. Did I mention the views are gorgeous? The views alone are worth staying here.
GuideThe park was practically empty. The views are always amazing, and the weather was perfect. The wind picked up in the evenings to about 10 mph, but then was calm around 9pm. In the morning the lake was very calm, and taking the kayak out was so peaceful. I spoke with the ranger and ahead said next summer a vendor will have boat and jet ski rentals. Good and bad, but maybe that will help keep camping rates low. Highly recommend a trip here when you have a long weekend.
RangerRolled in to enjoy a nice sunset. Spots are narrow but long. Kid and doggo loved the amenities. Everyone there was nice. They had $4 all you can eat pancakes but we didn’t partake. They also offer dinner. Clean bathrooms, good showers.

Reserved site #13 on line for August 15th. On arriving this site has no flat areas and you must pass directly through site #12 to access. The entire campground was EMPTY except us. We decided to move to site #12 to get a flat area. I informed the host out of courtesy of our move to the empty adjoining site. He said NO! I had to pay him $20 to make the change. If I did it on-line, it would be zero fee. THERE IS NO CELL COVERAGE at this campground, so it is impossible to go online and make that useless change. Another caretaker drove by and said he didn't see a problem moving if it was his call. The dude at Brookchar would NOT budge...he wanted his $20 bucks ( I have a senior pass and at worst it would have been $8.00). Told him to stuff it and to contact his manager. He refused. The other caretaker guy drove away and and said he would discuss it with her. Bear in mind, the entire campground had zero reservations for that evening besides us. He returned later to inform me that the manger had "OK'ed" the change for no fee. It is zero fee to change a campsites....zero! Unbelievable,,,,Beware....
ScoutWe've stayed here with our littles 4 times over the last 6 years. The service, smiles, clean campsites & restrooms/showers, breakfasts, and cowboy cookouts are all top notch and worth coming back for. Well done, folks!
TravelerClean, quiet, open campground, tents, trailers and cabins. Very happy with the week we spent here
LegendCampground is outdated but good for over night stay which is what it seems most are doing. Close to the Petrified National Forest which is awesome. Sites can be muddy when it rains. Laundry was clean and easy to use. Not sure what the deal is with the double wife’s are in the property.
ScoutNice bathroom and shower facilities, Wi-Fi is a bonus since cell connection isn’t the best out here. Free firepits to borrow

ScoutAwesome cabins and the lake was great! The hiking and rock art was a cool addition !!
TravelerCheck in was a breeze, the attendant had everything mapped out for us before we arrived. Very clean sites. Great cookout was delicious!! We had cheeseburgers with baked beans and potato salad. The only thing that I would change is the motion sensor light that kept turning on like a spot light through our curtains all night.
TravelerNice campground out of the way. Very polite rangers. Sad the lake is so low ... climate change, but enjoyable 2 days. Petroglyphs were cool! Tip: best campsite would be #17 - trust me ;) Hottest, highest pressure (ie: exfoliating showers) I've ever had in a campground!
GuideOnce again we are the only ones here! It got a little cold this morning, down to 15 but the sunrise was awesome. Lots of nice spots, you can get everything from a small cabin to a dry spot down by the beach. Some of the bathrooms are closed for the winter but there are a couple still open. 30 and 50 amp power. Water at the pull through sites but you need to disconnect at night to avoid freezing.
ScoutIn my cross country move, I stopped here for a night to visit the Petrified National Park. I had never stayed at a KOA before but got a cabin with no bathroom for 1 night. It was very nice! Cozy. There was a strong heater, and it was pet friendly! The manager was nice and the park was well kept!
GuideStayed here Nov 21-23, 2021.
Firstly, these sites are pretty tight. They are level, but tight. All gravel. Secondly, there's nothing for dogs. They may advertise as pet friendly, but it's really just not. There's an area designated for a pet walk, but it's just not a pet walk at all. You have the option to pay an extra $20 for a site that includes a little area for your doggo, but it's about a 4x4 cage with fake grass. Really only big enough for a toy chihuahua to comfortably use it for potty time. The restrooms were clean and decent. Wifi decent. Laundry facility decent. This place is pretty straight forward in how it's designed and what it has to offer. If you don't have pets, then this place might be good for you. Overall, it was okay for 2 nights, but no more than that.
GuideQuiet and secluded with a huge lake!
GuideBusy place.
Easy access.
Ok bathrooms and showers - clean but tired
Hooks ups good
Staff nice and direct
Sunset unbelievable
GuideThe gift shop is nice. The rest of the park looks aged with lots of goat heads around park. Water pressure is low and WIFI is terrible. Fine for a night traveling through.
GuideClean and peaceful area. Camped here as a jump point to the Petrified Forest Park the next morning.
RangerSpots are close to the lake which is really nice. The overall campground is nice and the spots were spaced out nicely.
TravelerGreat lake view from all sites. Cabins and rv sites have easy access and parking. Nice bathrooms.
