Our hosts were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and made sure we were comfortable. They gave us numerous recommendations for local cuisine and sightseeing. The camp is peaceful and has fantastic views with horses, a fire pit, and hiking trails. We hope to return soon.

This park is quite large and has many camping options: day passes, tent camping, semi-developed sites, and fully-developed sites with awnings for big rigs.

There are many hiking trails too, for every level of difficulty.

The nature is splendid, with hummingbirds, chipmunks, and plenty of chollas and prickly pear cactai.

The ambience is quite festive, much more than what I am used to (although the noise may be due to the fact I went on NASCAR weekend).

The views are fantastic in every direction. The sites are well maintained too. There is a fantastic, albeit difficult, hike toward the north end of the park. Make sure to bring your own water, as there are currently no hookups due to a water shortage. A great place for anyone near Phoenix or Tucson!

We found the ranger to be very helpful in terms of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, etc.) The park has great spaces for tent campers and big rigs, with electricity for 30 and 50 amp campers. They also have several cabins right on the lake. 

Our spot had a picnic table and was right beside the beach. There is a great hike only minutes from the campground where you can see Mt. Graham. 

The bathrooms, showers, and sinks were all well maintained. Also, the spot is great for stargazing.

We are looking forward to returning. The town of Safford is charming and has some nice restaurants too.

The campground has developed sites in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. The views are fantastic, especially during early spring. The sites are well maintained and have several bathrooms with private showers. Usery Mountain is also just a few minutes away from east Mesa, which has a good selection of restaurants.
