Nice location

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

Beautiful view overlooking the lake

We’ve stayed here several times and roadrunner campground is my favorite because it’s up above the lake and has a beautiful view. There are several poles through spots as well as back and spots. Electric and water are available. Showers are so so. Spots are fairly level and paved.

Scenic/beautiful /crowded

Everybody's here. But it's because there are awesome views everywhere you look. Campsites are very nice, just not private.

Good Campground

Water and Electric on developed campsites. A two lane dump station near the Desert Tortoise camping area. Security and cleaning crews passing through keeping an eye on the rigs. Very close to Lake Pleasant. Verizon cellular works okay with it being far from metro Phoenix.

No Privacy but has Decent Amenities

It was super hot in the afternoons and you really have no privacy from the campers around you. It was nice having shower facilities but they weren’t the cleanest. The lake was nice to cool off in. There was a very assertive donkey that had no issue trying to steal our food. Be sure to keep food contained at all times or you might get a donkey thief.
