A great campground on the edge of Payson. They have coin showers. The showers cost $3 and must be paid in quarters which I found annoying because there was no coin machine. The campground was also selling firewood for $7 a bundle of $20 for 3 bundles. Flush toilets throughout the grounds.

Please mark helpful if you liked this review.

We booked this campground on a last minute chance to escape the Phoenix heat for the weekend. The campground was easy to find, seeing as how it was just off of the main road/highway that passes through town. The check-in staff at the entry gate Fri. night were able to check us in relatively easily with our reservation paperwork in hand, albeit after a long exchange due to their hard-of-hearing and poor eyesight. We were in the Elk Loop, site #24. Many of the sites in this loop would have been great for folks in campers or RVs, but few of the sites' layouts were made with tent campers in mind, even the sites that were labeled as being for tent/non-electric. Site 24 in particular was very poorly laid out. We were supposed to be able to place 2 tents at this site. The only space somewhat close to the site that was suitable for a tent was halfway between site 23 and site 24. There were 2 large, flat open spaces directly behind site 23 (enough for at least 3 tents to be set up within them) that allowed for about 50 feet between them and the suitable space for site 24. There were 2 open spaces closer to site 24, but both were directly in the path of a wash (not a very deep wash, but not something that you'd be able to sleep comfortably in, especially with any rain water flowing down through it) and one was far too close to the picnic table/fire ring (seeing as how this is bear country). Our first night was an absolute atrocity. There were lots of RVs in this loop and many had loud generators, some running from 10am to 10pm. We set our tent up in the space between the two sites at about 10pm Fri. night (seeing as how there wasn't anybody in site 23 yet, and it was not reserved). We were awakened at about 3am by a noisy group of late-arriving campers who either were unaware of the 10pm to 10am quiet hours, or they just did not care. There were many other available campsites within the loop, but they chose the site closest to another, already occupied, site. Throughout the remainder of the night, we were awoken by sirens from emergency vehicles, loud trucks, revving engines, and motorcycles passing by on the highway. Site 24 was one of the sites farthest away from the thin line of trees separating the campground from the road. The next day, we ate breakfast and left camp to do a few day hikes in the area. I've camped pretty much my entire life and up until this trip, I had never had an issue with leaving fire wood and my 5 gallon water jug at a campsite during the day and having it still be there when I returned. Upon our return from our hikes on Saturday, we found that all of our firewood and water jug were gone. Since this is a managed campground I thought that perhaps the camp host had mistakenly not seen our tent and/or neglected to see that our reservation (which was clearly posted on the site number post) was for the entire weekend and had picked them up in their camp sweep. However, upon talking to the host for the Elk Loop, I was told not only had they not picked them up (they hadn't even done their sweep yet, nor did they ever that day - we knew because the folks that had been at site 23 had absolutely trashed it), but that it was our own fault for leaving them out. If anyone had walked up to the site to grab the firewood and water jug, they would have been able to clearly see our tent was still there and that there was a reservation for that site for the entire weekend (posted on the site number post), in addition to the fact that there was no name or reservation on site 23. The campground was filling up Sat., so prior to making dinner, we moved our tent into the wash closest to the picnic table. Our tent did get very wet, not flooded, but pretty close to it, with the rain that fell that evening and came down the wash. The noise pollution and lack of respect for other campers and their things in this campground was absolutely astounding. If you are looking for a cheap, poor night's rest and a place to clean up (flush toilets/running faucet sinks/shower house) that is close to town, then this is the place for you.

Great campground very close to Payson. Good paved roads and sites with picnic table and firepit. Flush toilets. Only downside is $24/night. Expensive for no hook-up. Ni electric or water. Plus firewood was$7 bundle. Lovely sites in the bush but you pay for them
