Rock Crossing Campground — Hotel in Payson

It was located about a 15-minute drive from the reservoir. Had bathrooms spaced throughout the campground with a water spigot adjacent, so the walk wasn't too bad from any of the sites which filled right up on Friday afternoon. I checked out a few other camps around my area and they all had nicely sized cooler containers built out of metal, called bear-savers. I stored my ice chest along with my plates, cups, silverware, 12" skillet, propane cooker, zipper bags (for chairs, tent, and sleeping bags), my lantern, and a pack of those small propane tanks for the cooker and lantern. Each site had a built-up campfire with a retractable grill that went halfway for cooking and a separate grill. There were single and double campsites. The only difference is the double campsites had two of everything including driveways and parking spots. Single site a night costs 20$ and 40 for the double. My only complaint would be the shading. My site had none whatsoever and the sites that had some around me were marked reserved. When I first got there they were marked reserved from the 15th-18th and on the 19th the site volunteer went and marked them reserved from the 20th-23rd. I stayed until the 20th and all the reserved...

5 stars is an understatement! This is by far the cleanest, most well maintained campground I have ever been to. You’ve got water, extremely clean bathrooms and large trash receptacles on the grounds and each site is raked and has been cared for impeccably. About 2miles from the lake, with gorgeous views and abundant wildlife, you will NOT be sorry to spend your downtime here. As if all of these things didn’t make Rock Crossing magical enough, the camp hosts are some of the most incredible and warm individuals you will be lucky enough to come across. T and Art (TArt, as they are so lovingly referred to) are so approachable and welcoming and it is immediately obvious how deeply they care for this campground. The TArt Team take so much pride in Rock Crossing and are there to help you with anything you might need, from local recommendations for hikes to information on the surrounding areas and top spots for harvesting firewood. This campground looks and runs as beautifully as it does because folks like T and Art are there! We can’t wait...

This was awesome!!! Ed and Karen, camp host are great. They are very polite, personable and courteous to everyone. They both really converse with all the guests. The whole campsite are very well maintained, the area was raked and clean when we arrived. There were picnic tables, bar-b-que, fire pit and metal cabinet to keep bears out of your food. The restrooms are the cleanest, and nice smelling that we have ever seen. We were with another couple and was able to move from a single site to a double site, it was greatly appreciated. The whole camping area was close to full, and the other campers were very respectful of others. We highly recommend this camping site for others in the future. We will definitely stay there again, looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much for being there as the...
