    Ive been going to this lake my entire life, ill never forget the times ive had here and also the growth ive seen with it from still frequently visiting this place of escape. They have really upgraded this place from what it used to be. Hotel rooms upgraded and modernized. You can sign into your streaming services to their new smart tvs. Wifi isnt bad, didnt have it before so again a huuuuuge plus! The bathrooms are also modernized and so much better than before. The beaches are a lot cleaner than before as well. The staff are very professional and helpful as well. Apache Lake Today should get a restart on all reviews from here on out because the bad ones have all been worked out and i believe they would change their minds today

    We went to apache lake this weekend for the laua and it was great! the owners came up and gave a speech about how they are going to make apache lake a family fun place to hangout and the keep apache lake community alive! they seemed super nice and like they were a really fun family! all of the employees were also super friendly! we stayed in the hotel and it was decent. the rooms look freshly remodeled. however, there was a dirty sock under the bed and there wasn't fresh toilet paper but other than that it was good! the beds were comfortable and there was a mini fridge & microwave in the room with a nice patio too! the lake was beautiful and we had no issues getting a slip and keeping the boat there overnight. we will be back in june & i can't wait! the kids had a blast too ! (ages 1 & 3)

    It's was a last minute trip that i scheduled for me and my family. The room was perfect with a perfect view of the lake from our patio. We are definitely coming back here very soon and will bring more friends with us so they can experience this little slice of heaven!

    What a great adventure for the day! We decided to go see what's been going on since the new owners took over. They most definitely haven't been resting! There's some major improvements everywhere you look! It's still not finished but it's definitely come a long way! I almost hate to tell people they'll be getting a paved road because that'll mean more people (but that's just my being selfish). They are starting up the outdoor concerts soon and have amazing bands for the line up! Book your spots now as the first ones already sold out! Boat rentals, jet ski rentals are available for a very competitive price. Enjoy AZ

    Maps, murals. Pretty decor.

    New owners claiming to move forward with the Apache Lake Music Festival w/o the original curators, promoters, production staff.

    It is always very unfortunate when a business picks greed over community. I have been coming out to Apache Lake regularly since 2009 because of the Apache Lake Music Festival (I even learned how to drive on the Apache Trail with a learners permit about 20 years ago!) This resort is under new ownership as of early 2021 & is no longer family owned & operated. Since then, the two new owners whom live out of state have gentrified a marina & resort without even making any updates... In fact, things seem like they're in even worse condition then when I was out there last year (2020) while the Schuster family still owned it. Jeremy R. (whom I've never even met) previously stated "$10 for a bag of ice? 5 phone calls as well as waiting a half an hour just to check in? Quoted one price for a jet ski rental then actually being charge a significantly more expensive rate" Port-a-potties?! Let's not forget how much they wanted to charge for camping on Memorial Day weekend: $50 per adult $25 per youth (5-11) But don't worry! These prices are for the entire weekend & 5 and under can stay for free! That seems pretty steep for bringing all of your own supplies plus only having a port-a-potty sitting in the Arizona desert heat to use. At least when the Schuster family was in charge there was plumbing (I admit, not the best) but it worked. Also, the new owners are trying to disband the community of people who store boats or have house boats out there. I personally will not support a business that does not respect or have any sense of community, & I hope you won't either.

    In the middle of nowhere down a long and dusty highway, you will find this old "resort" and campground that has pretty much been the same place for the past 20+ years. Sure it is a bit run down, and in dire need of a remodel. But the Apache Lake Resort doesn't need to be flashy, up to date, or even that clean, because Apache Lake itself is really why everyone wanders out here. In fact I would argue that staying here at the "resort" is a form of "glamping" that you hear so much about these days. And what is wrong with that? Sure it is not up to Hilton standards but would you really expect that in the middle of nowhere? In addition to accommodations, there is a small bar with a few food offerings and a convenience store for campers. Nothing offered is spectacular from a culinary perspective, but it can serve its purpose of filling you up in the right circumstances. It's also nice to have a place to buy ice nearby! (If you have ever been camping you might appreciate what it means to have good ice at the ready). There is an outside patio with shade and a nice view of the lake, if you happen to be looking for a spot to chill and enjoy a cold one on a hot summer day. They also have boat rentals, which tend to go quickly, but if you manage to get one you can have a great time on the lake for a reasonably affordable price. That is the primary advantage to making the trek to this lake, versus the closer (and paved) Canyon Lake, which can be a mob scene on crowded days. Overall if you like roughing it "a bit" and avoiding huge crowds, then you might like it here. Four stars!
