In Williams, Arizona, turn south onto 4th Street/County Road 73 and drive about 9 miles to Forest Road 110. Turn left and proceed for approximately 7 miles to FR 109. Turn left again and follow for about 3 miles to the campground.
Forest Roads 110 and 109 are high-use roads and can become rough during peak season. During the winter, roads may be closed due to snow cover.
Best campground ever! Our camp hosts were incredibly attentive and caring! Even charged my cell phone for me and gave me some of her hair conditioner! Definitely camping here forever!
Stayed at Loop D,#63 campsite. Hosts were amazing.
Got firewood for 8$ (6 sticks, burn time 2-3 hours)
Ice for 4$ a bag.
A beautiful Campground! Beautiful lake and beautiful nature. Friendly hosts and everything very well maintained. Together with my wife and our 6 month old son we spent 4 wonderful days. Unfortunately, the way to get there is very difficult. More than 10 miles only dirt and gravel. It took more than 40 minutes to drive this route with our camper. Definitely worth it, we had a wonderful time!
At this lovely lake with its tall trees and serenity galore, we enjoyed 3 nights of comfy tent camping. We were among the last to camp there in late August, and it was nearly perfect. Very quiet. No one was within our sight. Only downers: Since we tent, we used the pit toilet, which was stinky TSTL. And the campsite was a short schlep from the parking area, which was kind of a drag. (Excuse the pun.) But all in all, it's worth the price of admission for what we got out of it. The consessesions were already closed for the season. Didn't need them. We can't wait to return Aug '24!
