The Best Camping Near Payson, Arizona

I got to tryout my new hammock setup, and although it was very chilly at night, I was a great testing ground for my new gear!

Great Hiking and Hammock Camping

I am not sure where the pictures posted here are from but it is definitely not from this campground.

It is a nice little campground with a pool and small launder mat room. Bathrooms are always clean. The spaces are close together so if you are spot picky (want more of a personal space feel) you will need to get recommendations or visit it to mark your spots.

Saturday nights include karaoke by the pool or live cover band. My kids enjoy staying here but be warned that "resort" should be taken lightly. There is a "playground" which consists of a metal swing set, uncovered and a small basketball court. This is also right near the dog pin area.

You are off a major road so near by shopping is a breeze but you will not be forced to hear the traffic so no worries there.

Nice place to stay

Nice fairly quiet well kept. Only complaint spaces are tight if you have slide outs on both sides and the only trash disposal is at the office. 

Nice place but tight!

Ok so we decided to stay here since we have young kids and thought having a pool and showers available would be great. Well the pool was great but the showers were lack luster at best. We stayed 3 nights and two of the 3 nights there were people so loud is ruined the experience. It seems the people who are in charge of enforcing quite time weren’t interested in it. 
We had one of the biggest sites there was, site 91, so that was a bonus but it was up a large hill and hard to get in and out of since the “driveway” was uneven with lots of dips that has loose dirt. Also i called ahead to see if our site could accommodate our large family tents. They said yes. Thankfully we opted to being one large and one small tent otherwise there would not have been room. There was barely enough flat ground for our two tents. Some of the sites were so small only a small tent would fit and nothing else. Also fire rings are not included which we knew ahead of time but is still annoying. Also if you want a specific site you have to pay extra when you reserve or they could move you to a smaller or less ideal location. 
Also you can hear the noise from the main road that runs right next to the campground. I had read reviews that said you couldn’t. Well we could.... all night long. 
We will not be returning to this campground. 

Dirt dirt and more dirt

Great place, laundry, pool and close to town. Each spot is level and very clean restrooms. We spent two months there while my husband received treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. However, the roads are a bit of a challenge. 

Nice!

Nice private campsites, clean restrooms. If you like TV while camping there is no cable hookup.

Nice quiet campground 

Campground has a pool and sites have full hookups which is nice. The sites are very close together which meant a bit more noise than I would normally like.

Full hookups but close sites

Took a weekend girls trip.  Amazing views, clean grounds, super space! Will be going back this weekend! 

Great Weekend

Made good memories here with my son test driving our COViD bubble travel tank(is motorhome). Love this spot- but road up from Phoenix is very busy unless you time it. Place has resort amenities and nice size lots. Great pool!

Our maiden voyage!

This spot really is nice. It’s right in town so if you need anything it’s walking distance full hookups and room for some pretty large rigs. Since you are in town you can hear the traffic and the spots are packed pretty close to each other 

Convenient but loud and cramped 

Very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. 
Good mix of "parking lot" style camping and secluded sites. Even the cheap lot camping had good space between trailers.

Good little spot close to town.

Well I felt a bit deceived by the website… it said there was a basketball court, a dog park, and a playground but honestly they are the saddest excuses of any of those things I have ever seen. The pool is very nice, if not a bit cold and seating is limited. Bathrooms/ showers are very clean. Getting in and out is pretty crazy as you’re on a steep hill.  The weather was nice but I was looking for a more family friendly campground and this was not it. Great as a stop on your way somewhere maybe but not a good weekend getaway unless you have stuff in town to see or do.  

Not what I was expecting. 

Pretty good

Look if you want to really camp this is not the place for you.  Spots are close together with a fair amount of trees around. Because campsites are close there is some noise but not bad.  Some road noise as well and to be expected since you are camping in town.  Sites are clean and maintained and full hook ups including sewer, electric and water.  I don’t consider this camping because I usually head out into the forest but overall this was good and got me spending time in my camper so all good. 

Clean and Easy to get to

We recently got our first pop up camper and this was a great place to get our feet wet! Property is kept up very well and staff were very friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again!!!
