Recently married to my fiance of 20 years, as well as recently becoming empty nesters due to our 5 children all becoming adults and moving on to their own lives. Camping is our favorite outdoor activity to do together. We love to camp, fish, hike, and enjoy nature together.

Relaxing time, comfortable area

It has easy access and convenient hook up for RV. Enjoyable time with my hubby.

Nothing beats AZ camping

My husband and I love to camp like true campers with our tent and the basics. We enjoy the beautiful weather, wildlife, and nature. We have successful fishing competitions between one another. The summer months can be a little difficult to endure but the spring months are the best. We to hear the howling from the coyotes and just to experience beautiful nature and wildlife at it's best. Other campers can tend to hinder our experience when they are loud and leave trash but I think that is mostly unavoidable. It is an experience I think everyone needs to experience at least once in their lives.

Was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay

We stayed in the cabin and it was beautiful! There are parks or playgrounds for the little ones, the area was peaceful and clean, the cabins are clean and affordable, and it had the perfect amount of woods & wildlife. A family of dear would come to our cabin and graze each morning as I sat on my cabin porch with a cup of coffee. The staff is respectful and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful and serene until the party people show up

My husband and I have camped here occasionally for several years and we have always loved it, for the most part. Until fairly recently when it began to get more popular and crowded. People will tend to set up camp almost on top of your site and persist to blast music throughout the night or be extremely loud and even more so, extremely dirty. We have always looked forward to our quiet nights away from usual civilization and would stay awake to hear the coyotes howl, along with the rest of the wildlife. But it is getting extremely difficult to enjoy ourselves lately. I understand that some people like to go party there but why they assume the whole camping area and wildlife want to hear their blasting music all night… Is beyond disrespectful. Besides that, they messes, garbage, and filth they leave behind is horrendous. It makes my heart sad and I can only imagine how it is affecting nature and the campsite itself. If you go on weekdays, you have a better chance of having a peaceful getaway. Overall, it is beautiful and serene. We catch plenty of fish and enjoy some time on the lake with our boat. The marina is accessible to guests and is decently stocked with basic needs and supplies, as well as basic groceries. It's a shame that we are limited on places we can camp like true campers, because others can't appreciate the idea of truly "roughing it" or basic camping. We have built many good memories there and try to enjoy ourselves as much as we can. It is most beautiful in spring months.

At one with nature.. until they blast their music all through the night.
