We have made so many memories so far this summer just coming here the last 2.5 weeks (2 separate camping trips). Met so many nice folks around here and my boys love it here too and the lake. It's just a shame there are some sad activities happening- like Kayaks getting stolen and some rando showed up last night and popped up his camp on a reserved space- and there was a guy who had a fire pit going and was being crazy about that and Fire dept had to be called. These Hosts def do their job but I'm glad they have city support when people are crazy around here.

Very noise from the road between the lake and tent camp area.all night long. The camp gound next to…read morethe tent area has a huge security light that lit up my entire site. High in and out traffic all day and night. Picnic table was unsafe very wobbly. The bath room was DIRTY. The toilet seat had dried urine on the seat, the floor was very dirty. The check sheet for cleaning indicated last cleaned 6/28/25 and when I checked out 2 days later still had not been cleaned. Plus was the lake and staff were nice. Resturants highly recommend The North and Monica's for breakfast. My favorite was the Brewery 10 minutes away Pinetop Brewing company. All 3 are dog friendly.

It's right off the highway, which is very convenient for running in and out of town, but the spots in the back among the trees still make it seem like you're in nature. The campground is a short walk down the road from Rainbow Lake, which is a nice little spot for fishing. I had spot B14 for the weekend, which was larger than most and right next to the water spicket. There are tons of large pine trees throughout the site to provide shade during the heat of the day and campfire tinder. They sell firewood on site, but I think it's chemically treated and produced tons of smoke. I would turn off the main highway and find an empty plot of land and collect you own wood to use for the fire instead. Be sure not to book a spot right next to the toilets...they're the vault toilets that's basically a big hole in the ground and they stink something rotten in the heat of the day when the wind picks up. Overall, a cheap and cheerful way to get out of the desert heat and explore small town Arizona.

We left 5 minutes after we checked in. We tried to cancel our reservation but the website did not work for that either. We called in the next day so they charged us for two nights even though we did not even stay one. We spent the first night in a motel and went to show low lake which actually has a lake.
