The campsites are nice and well maintained, but there are no services available at this campground. Drinking water faucets are located throughout the campground; however, RV water tank filling is not permitted. Signs at the faucets state that a 10-cent fee will be charged for every gallon of water that leaves the park. There is also no RV dump station, so plan accordingly. The lake was extremely low during our visit, and the water was brown in color. I'm not sure why the lake is such a draw for people in its current condition. My biggest disappointment was that, despite being located in a National Forest, the concessionaire, Recreation Resource Management of Arizona, does not honor the America the Beautiful Lifetime Military or Gold Star passes. They only accept the Senior and Access passes. In my opinion, if they honor some America the Beautiful passes, they should honor them all. The check-in experience also left a lot to be desired. Even though we had an online reservation, the process was very slow. When I presented my Lifetime Military Pass, the employee bluntly told me, "That pass does nothing here." While the policy may be out of the employee's control, a more professional response would have been, "I'm sorry, but we don't accept that pass at this campground." A little courtesy goes a long way.
