We stayed one night in site #13. It’s a lot more open than the picture would make it seem. We arrived and set up at about 3pm and the sun beat down on us until about 4pm, when it finally ducked behind the trees and things started cooling off. The site is close to a restroom, so we had some foot traffic, but the other campers were polite and passed quietly. The restrooms closest to us had an overpowering ammonia smell – I’m not squeamish about pit toilets, but I don’t like having my nose hairs burned off. The well water tasted fine, but had a slight brownish tint. Some of the other sites on the west end of the campground looked much nicer. Unfortunately these are first come, first served only. Firewood is available from the campground host. Kindling was a bit sparse at site #13, but there was some dead fall over by the amphitheater and we carried a few sticks back with us. A couple of trails start at or near the campground and the Arizona Trail passes through the area, so this is a pretty nice place to take a stroll in the woods. We didn’t have any trouble with mosquitoes at the camp site, although we did get eaten alive when we went down around Mormon Lake in the morning.
My family stayed for 4 nights at campsite #12. It was a beautiful area, safe for the kids to roam a bit without getting into other campers sites. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They cleaned the bathrooms daily. The host had both firewood and ice available on site. There is water available, but we didn’t drink it as we had brought our own water, but didn’t have a smell to it or look bad as I did use it to clean our dishes, etc. There are several trailheads near the back of the campsite which were all very family friendly trails. Overall a positive experience that I would recommend.
