    Campsite before the snow storm
    Katie M.

    Loved this place ! We actually stayed here for thanksgiving! Originally we were scheduled to go to showlow - but due to the snow storm we decided to try this place out since our toyhauler was already loaded . It's just what you need on a camping trip. Close to good restaurants ( tinys/Culver's) I mean you are literally on the middle of payson! The bathrooms super clean , the showers super hot and nice /clean... We stayed three nights here and on day 2 we got 8 inches of snow!!! What a surprise! I had no issues at check in:) We don't typically rv camp- we like to take our toyhauler into the actual forest , but this was perfect!! It's nice to not have to worry about turning the generator on in the middle of the night, or worrying if your going to run out of water on a camping trip:) The playground is just 3 swings and a big tire . The basketball hoop is just basically what it is ... just some asphalt with a hoop. But you can play around the world ...

    Location is nice and convenient to town/nearby restaurants. The grounds are well kept. The tent sites are small and close together, but the setup is very functional. The day we stayed here, it rained hard for a couple of hours; the tent sites are so flat that the water just stood. It was not draining, so it became a pretty miserable experience after that. Check in was easy and what I love most is the bathrooms with free hot showers! I will be back, but better prepared.

    Love this place. Everyone here has been very accommodating. Very clean. They have a heated pool. Laundry mat that is 100% better than Payson Laundry mat. Here at the campground, you can sit inside the office on their comfy furniture and watch TV. Also they close at 6p on Sunday.

    Large sign and easy to find

    There are some reviews for this site that had issues with the owner and the cancellation policy etc. I had no issues...the owner, Michael, was very up front and stated the policy before I made the payment. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Jerry is one of the hands that help with all sorts of things and even shows you to your site to ensure other trailers are safe and spots you if needed to help keep your trailer safe. The RV Park is easy to find, well maintained with decent amenities. If you're looking for an RV Park that is more secluded like camping I would look elsewhere. This park is less than a mile from a Starbucks and across the street from a hotel and fast food restaurant. They allow campfires as long as you have a metal fire ring. If you don't you can rent one for your stay at a flat rate of $5. The standard sites are the pull through and the deluxe sites are the back in which are larger and more private. Unfortunately there are only 7 or so of the deluxe sites available for daily rental because most of them are for year round storage. So we ended up in a pull through - site 19A - now I thought I was being slick and asked for the end site thinking it would be more private and have more room. Not the case, some of the pull through sites actually face each other because of where the hook ups are so when we got neighbors it was a little awkward. Knowing what I know now I would ask for site 18 or one of the deluxe sites (which you have to reserve far enough in advance because they go quick) but we would definitely stay here again.

    The Tonto National Forest is a large territory of preserved lands northeast of Phoenix ideally…read moresuited for recreation. There is a lifetime of official and unofficial trails in the Forest. Most of them are in the desert, with little shade and oppressive heat, but if you live in Arizona that probably doesn't stop you. Based on its size and preservation, there are stunning vistas of the Forest even a short drive from the Phoenix area. Describing it as a "forest" is a deceptive term. It is more of a National Desert. Acknowledging that point does not make it a less impressive place to explore. Arguably, the panoramic views are even more impressive in the desert because there are no trees blocking your line of sight. One of the more surprising aspects of the forest is how few Arizona citizens take advantage of the recreation opportunities. Phoenix is a megacity, but if drive 30 minutes away, you can have a 10 mile trail all to yourself. This means either Phoenix citizens are not into the outdoors or there are enough trails for everyone to spread out. One trail in particular that my brother, wife, and I were able to explore by ourselves was the Ballantine Trail. It's halfway between Mesa and Payson on highway 87. The first couple of miles suffered significant burn damage a year earlier. This was quite disappointing at first. As we continued hiking, we were able to appreciate the signs of transition from burned and blackened landscape to fresh grass and bush rejuvenation. The return hike along the side of the mountain, rather than over the top, yielded one of the most stunning views of grass and saguaro cacti that I have seen.

    I was in town in Show Low staying at my friend's place and decided to take my dog to Tonto National…read moreForest (specifically the two sixty trail area) so we could enjoy the weekend day. It was an hour ride, but I think it was so worth it! My dog really enjoyed it! What I loved was that the facility and trail were clean and well maintained. There was a restroom station and a marker/direction for a subtrail at the entrance from a parking lot. The trail itself was clear and not crowded at all. There were just 2 other people we met during a weekday late morning during our visit for an hour there. My dog really enjoyed roaming around the trail and we loved that we didn't see any trash at all. While the trail was a bit unleveled, the path was clear! Bonus too that it was a free hike/walk for us, including parking! The only minus was that there was no cell phone signal (T-mobile/Mint Mobile), so I was very wary that we might get lost if we didn't keep track of ourselves well enough..so we mostly stayed on the trail and didn't go in too far. But...it is a wonderful place to enjoy the nature for sure!

    First of all. When you book for a stay they offer showers and restrooms. Big lie. Restrooms are ok…read morebut some of them don't even have lights. So if you wan to go at night forget get it. Very disappointed about the campground not having the showers. We went hiking and we were all sweaty and hot but. Thanks to them. We stayed for three days dirty. I don't recommend this place.

    The showers have been closed since Covid-19, but the restrooms are open and have running water…read more They have fire rings, so you can have a campfire even with burn restrictions. The fire rings have a grill grate, and the camp sites have a picnic table. Bundles of wood are available for $7/ea. The tent sites are very close to each other, so if you've envisioned the whole "getting away" experience, think again. "Houston, we have a problem..." Be prepared for sounds of traffic, small aircraft, shoveling gravel, children crying/screaming/shrieking, horns honking, inconsiderately loud people incessantly cackling/laughing/arguing/talking, wake up alarms that sound the full 10 minutes, bells, buzzers, tea kettles, music and general malaise at all hours of the night and morning. But if you're cool with that, then this should be on your short list of campgrounds. And if you can look past it all, and slow dance with your sweetie to the radio broadcasted from an adjoining site, then you've really won, haven't you? Lots of trees, so bring a hammock.

    I brought the family to the Aspen Campground after researching places to camp near Woods Canyon…read moreLake. When I arrived I was greeted with," do you have an orange tag?" I let the host know that I had researched the sites online and that I would like a specific site # that was first come first serve; she quickly advised me snarkily that the website is not up to date or accurate and," we only have 5 sites left... Do you want one of them?" Ok so, they have a website to reserve sites but it's not accurate - got it. I asked the host if I could drive and check out the sites to make sure it is what my family wanted and she said no and that we had to choose a site right now. Who wants to choose a camping spot before looking at it? Regardless, I picked a random one since I didn't have a choice. As I drove through the loops looking for our site, I counted 14 open and available first come sites, which were marked by the giant OPEN tag. Weird that we were told that they only had 5. Lastly on the hosts, I attempted to purchase wood from them twice. We waited both times at the front for over 20 minutes both times and the hosts never came out of their RV. I have a 2 rating due to the close access to the lake. The campgrounds are for you if: - You dont care about loud noises, music and generators that run all through the night. We finally had some quite around 230am. - Don't mind hosts that are not very available and give inaccurate information. - You don't mind a site where there are no rules. Examples - People flying camera drones into your campsites and people screaming around the camp loop with their ATVs and electric bikes non stop. All this to say that there are far better sites in the area where the hosts really do know how to create a good experience and enforce basic noise rules late at night.
