"Google maps took us to the park but an uninviting entrance to the park. Elevation 5,069 at site PR01. Painted Rock Campground. Cows had visited our site and left large pods before we arrived."
"We chose site 15 having never been here before because it was close to a restroom and we have a toddler. During our stay there was only one other person in the campground and it was quiet."
$35 - $300 / night
"There are great atv trails nearby. There is a great golf course right next to the lake/campground. The restaurant at the golf club has really good food. The bathrooms are kept clean."
"Bathrooms well Maintained and pedal boat and other boat rentals. Plenty of fish to catch off the shore or in a boat"
"Spaces are level and have a nice, grassy area between sites with a picnic bench & fire pit. The surrounding area is scenic with cows in pasture and a mountain backdrop."
"The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do."
$10 - $18 / night
"This made the experience hassle-free.
One thing to note is that although you can tent camp at this site, the majority of campers are those using RVs. I enjoyed my experience tent camping."
"The drive up along the river is so beautiful. It is a little narrow, but there was some equipment out so it appeared they were working on the road and fixing it up. Take it slow with the big rigs."

Camping was about $25/night."

You do have to make a reservation on the website and call for details when you get here, Soaking happens in 2 hour windows and isn’t included in the camping fee. Because of where the pools are, I recommend soaking before dark.
If you have mobility issues, be aware that there are stairs to get to the pools and the upper pools require a bit of climbing.
The outdoor kitchen space was a nice space to use after time on the road.

GuideI've camped at this campground twice now; once in August of 2020 and once in July of 2021. Both times the experience has been good. The campsite has potable water and vault toilets. Before my two visits, I reserved my sites on recreation.gov. This made the experience hassle-free.
One thing to note is that although you can tent camp at this site, the majority of campers are those using RVs. I enjoyed my experience tent camping. However, if you are somehow bothered by RVs or excess noise, you might want to find another campground.
Overall, a good place to stay and I will certainly be back.
ScoutI would reserve a spot ahead of time, avoiding any site in loop 'E'. That loop is for those planning to camp with horses. There are hitching posts at every site, therefore, lots of horse poo. And not the best place to take a dog because of all the horses in the area.
The camp host at loop 'E' and 'D' is very nice, and is willing to split up group areas to individuals who have no where else to set up camp. If you do this, expect to get to know new people as you will share a fire pit and eating area.
The fee to camp for one night is $20, but that includes access to any of the Payson lakes, which is $8 for day use.
We didn't go on any hikes during our stay, as we bummed at the beautiful lakes (only the middle of the three lakes is dog friendly) all day. However, there is plenty of hiking in the area.
Very hot. Around 90 degrees. Wake up and get breakfast early. Then enjoy the water in the heat!
P.S. 3 stars due to the fact that I had to camp in horse crap.
LegendThis, as a KOA Journey, is a great place to stay “along the way.” Spaces are level and have a nice, grassy area between sites with a picnic bench & fire pit. The surrounding area is scenic with cows in pasture and a mountain backdrop. We only stayed a single night and did not use any amenities. WiFi was very weak but the hookups are in good condition. We really appreciated the grounds with trees and grass. The staff we encountered were very friendly. Fillmore has some neat gems to scout out. The freeway is close by so access is a cinch, but the grounds are far enough away to be void of any road noise. When we arrived, the wind was consistently 45+ mph.... not sure if this is an extraordinary occurrence but the map says wind picks up frequently and to store your things. Multiple gas stations nearby with excellent prices. Lots of ATV/OHV paths around the area. A single night allowed for us to explore a little and feel rested. Would definitely return!
GuideI never knew there was so much to do in Fillmore. We visited the hot springs and lava tunnels. Kids had a blast. The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do.
LegendCAUTION: See GPS Coordinates so that you do not enter on the muddy dirt road like we did. Google maps took us to the park but an uninviting entrance to the park. Elevation 5,069 at site PR01. Painted Rock Campground. Cows had visited our site and left large pods before we arrived. There was a dump station. Our site had water and electric. The restrooms were just OK. Weather ranged in the 40s and 70s.
GuideBlackhawk is great if you can’t find reservations elsewhere. we booked equestrian sites up at the top - highest elevation. Good views, pavilions, fire pits and pit toilets. Don’t have to have horses to book equestrian and they seem to be more available since I don’t think people k ow this.
RangerIf you're looking for solitude, drive up a canyon road and skip Palisade State Park. It's loud and busy most days of the week in the summer. If you're bringing a group this might be your spot. The lake is nice and the trails around the lake are good for running, 4-wheeling and exploring.
