Roosevelt Lake Roosevelt Lake is a beautiful body of water set in the desert. There is a migratory waterfowl (including Canada geese) and raptors (including bald eagles and osprey) that use the lake during the fall and winter. Small isolated islands and coves offer outstanding opportunities for camping and relaxing in the unique Sonoran Desert. Both Non-Motorized and Motorized boats are allowed at Roosevelt for maximum enjoyment of the water.
Individuals can camp on the shores of Roosevelt Lake. Some popular sites include; Grapevine, Schoolhouse, Cholla, Indian Point, Cholla Bay, Bachelor Cove

TravelerPrevious reviews inaccurate
Stunning views and worth the drive but NOT on the water or paved all the way up. The last 10 miles is a very windy road and the last mile is on a very rough forest road, high clearance required! There are some spots along 288 if you're rig won't make it the last mile.
GuideGreat Fishing on a Beautiful Lake
Many camping spots available. Great catfish and bass fishing. Great family spot to camp and boat.
