"The lake is in walking distance with rentable boats and swimming. The site was a drive up, with a table and pit."

GuideLots of spots are right by next to another camp. But the location is decently dispersed and it was such a great time. In the end of May this site was very cold at night.
ScoutI needed a spot to camp out before heading into Taylor early AM. Right off the road, I stayed in the first spot with a 16' livestock trailer. Easy to get in and out, road ain't terrible. Would bring the family back for some boondocking in our camper. Despite being the first spot closest to the road, so few cars pass here I rarely noticed.
Scout看起来是个很棒的露营地点搜索资源！我喜欢它把最受欢迎的公园、城市和森林一一列出来。下次计划旅行时一定要用这个。
GuideWonderful campground. We used our national park pass for a discount. Potable water hookups if you’re running low. We got there after office closing hours, but the site has a kiosk for after hours tickets. Very quiet, woodsy and peaceful. Burn restrictions are in effect at this time, but make sure you check when you arrive. The rv sites include picnic table, lantern hook, grill and fire pit.
GuidePulled in after 10:30 pm and could tell right away the area was quiet, likely because there’s no highway signage, making it a not-so-obvious place to camp.
Didn’t make it to the canyon overlook due to the road being a bit rutted out by water. The road is perfectly described by other reviewers. Wouldn’t recommend for super long wheel-bases that don’t have added ground clearance. Our Ford 350 Transit Extended van could handle the roughness of the road, however the long wheelbase nearly high centered us on the humps and dips a few times.
We ended up pulling a few hundred yards from the highway in and found multiple spots to sleep with no one else around. We were surprised how quiet it was for nearly being a Saturday in mid-May and being so close to Phoenix. And it’s true what they say about the elk, take it easy if you’re driving the highway after dark.
Could slightly hear cars drive by on the highway, but the wind blowing thru the ponderosas downed that out pretty well. Slept great!
TravelerThis was a nice spot with a handful of other marked camp sites. The campers before me left some trash and if I had gloves I would have removed it but alas. It's right at the lake too. Just a quick 2 min drive down the road to the trail entrance or further up to a different lake trail entrance and you're set. The lake itself doesn't have "beach" area per se. It's quite rocky but for the nimble it's not too bad and there are lots of flat rocks to sit on.
It's pack in and pack out so be aware of that. There were 2 different toilet but they're gross and not maintained.
RangerThree parking lots open for "dispensed camping". Third one is largest. Each has pit toilets. Stairs down to river er beach. Quiet, only one other camper in May. Water still a bit cold.
ScoutThis place is great for the whole family and there is no trailer year restriction. You definitely cant beat the price and its nice that the rate includes water, electric and sewage.
RangerThis review is for the boat ramp just past the camping area on the road. While the camping area shows signs of neglect. Thw boat rampnis fully functional. Remember to get your tonto water use sticker first ($4) as the ramp is unmanned.
