Reserved site #13 on line for August 15th. On arriving this site has no flat areas and you must pass directly through site #12 to access. The entire campground was EMPTY except us. We decided to move to site #12 to get a flat area. I informed the host out of courtesy of our move to the empty adjoining site. He said NO! I had to pay him $20 to make the change. If I did it on-line, it would be zero fee. THERE IS NO CELL COVERAGE at this campground, so it is impossible to go online and make that useless change. Another caretaker drove by and said he didn't see a problem moving if it was his call. The dude at Brookchar would NOT budge...he wanted his $20 bucks ( I have a senior pass and at worst it would have been $8.00). Told him to stuff it and to contact his manager. He refused.

Read moreWe went during the end of may. The campground is beautiful and has amazing views of the big lake. We were at site 12 which is just across the street with Big lake views.

The entire area is beautiful with small lakes. The drive from Phoenix via Globe is very beautiful and goes through Salt River Canyon. Definitely...
Read moreWe stayed over a week in the pouring rain. It was the best camping ever. They have nice restrooms. The host keeps them clean and stocked. There is water but no showers. You can reserve a spot or walk up. The places that are reserved are closer to parking which would have been easier. They have a bear box for food and trash. They also sell firewood but we needed to use some dry wood from the store to get the fire started (it was pouring) the wood we bought there burned longer. It's quiet, it's beautiful it's probably my favorite...
