Best Campgrounds near Woodruff, AZ

The drive in doesn't seem like much and the facilities could use some love but when you look over that edge the view is absolutely amazing.

I rolled up just as the sun was setting. What a spectacular view of that! There were only a couple of other vehicles here. There are some picnic tables near the entrance, but that’s about it. I didn’t see any fire-rings, just plenty of parking. The park road runs parallel with the highway, about a quarter mile from it so the road noise is minimal, but still audible. There is a repeater tower within line of sight - I’m guessing that’s why I had great cell service (T-Mobile).

This is basically a small RV park without the hookups. Very kind of the owners to allow so many spaces (20?) for free. Be sure to visit the museum and give them some business as a thank you.

I slept in this parking lot one night, and it is very near the train tracks. Others have made derogatory reviews regarding the train noise. However I enjoyed the low ambient hum of the intermittent trains passing by. They do not brake or sound off their whistles as they roll through town. It’s just a low rumble, similar to airplane cabin noise. I saw Winslow PD driving down the main street a couple times, so felt safe knowing the area is regularly patrolled.

We camped here in the off season so there wasn't a whole lot of activity around us, which was good.  We were there at the end of October and the weather was great.  We stayed in the Redhead Loop in site 9 and it was a really nice site.  We had a lot of space and decent privacy.  Site 10 would have been perfect since it sat right at the lake.  The showers were clean and good pressure.  They are very dog friendly and even have a little kiosk with some supplies for dogs that you can borrow as well as a jar of dog treats.  We bought firewood and it was harvested from dead trees in the park.  A little pricey but it burned longer than that gas station firewood does.  Show Low is a nice town and has everything you need.  It was near Halloween and they had some scary scarecrow competition going on.  We did not have a cell signal for some odd reason.  We have T Mobile and usually have good coverage.  Not sure what was going on with it.  The lake was very pretty but we didn't go out on it or anything. There is a nice trail to hike around the lake.  Dogs are allowed on it.  We didn't do a whole lot of activities while we were there.  Just a relaxing long weekend.

The entire Mallard loop has generous paved sites. There is a picnic table and nice fire pit. Plenty of paved space to set up. Pines surround each site and provide ample shade. Each site has easy access to the lake. The bathrooms have showers and were spotless.

Gorgeous place, beautiful landscape (awesome sunsets and sunrises), very welcoming hosts and a real sense of community.

This is NOT your ordinary campground.

Some sites with electrical hookups... 

less expensive... quieter...

Not far from the petrified forest.

Short dirt road travel off I-40.

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.

Very large CG with full hookups, level sites, flush toilets and showers. Casino and its restaurants next door. Wild horses venture through the camp in the evening! Spots are pretty close together, it is very full and mostly full timer/long term campers. Staff was helpful and courteous. We did not have a reservation until that morning. It is very busy so advance reservations are the norm. casino offers first timers a players pass with $6 for food and $5 casino credit.

We had a great site near the rear of the park with many shade trees and plenty of room. In general the sites are quite close together, but the folks were friendly and very helpful.....
