A description of this campground can be found at the following web site: U.S. National Forest Campground Guide After going to this site, depending on your web browser, you may need to scroll down to the name of this campground. Campgrounds are in alphabetical order. Below is an excerpt of comments about this campground found at this site:

"...Campground is largest all-solar powered campground in the United States and is comprised of six loops. Although campground has little overhead vegetation, the picnic tables are shaded by ramadas (roof) and most sites are nicely disbursed and spacious for privacy. Some sites overlook Roosevelt Lake and all tent sites are walk-ins. There are a variety of birds for viewing...

...Besides the water sports, there are some interesting things to do from this campground. They are:

1. Tonto National Monument - here one can view the 700 year old pueblo-style cave dwellings of the prehistoric Salado people.

2. Apache Trail - the trail (which can be driven in a family sedan) had its beginnings centuries ago as an aboriginal highway through the Superstition Mountains. The drive along this road (State Rt. 88) has some spectacular views and is about 78 miles. It is an excellent one-day trip, some of which should NOT be driven with an RV. In our view, the best part of the drive is between Tortilla Flat and the Roosevelt Dam - about 25 miles. Consider stopping at the restaurant in Tortilla Flat. Among other interesting items, almost every wall is lined with one dollar bills.

3. Roosevelt Dam - Dedicated in 1911, the 357-ft. high Dam helps form the Roosevelt and Apache Lakes. 4. Besh-Ba-Gowa Archaeological Park in Globe, AZ is a site where the Hohokam first established a pit-house settlement around A.D. 900 and abandoned it about 1100 A.D. Later, around 1225, Salado Indians began constructing the pueblo that can be seen today...

...The parking aprons are gravel...

... An RV waste station, with no potable water and no fee, is located about 5 miles north of Roosevelt Dam (across from Cholla campground) on State Rt. 188...

...Roosevelt Lake is 19, 200 acres..."
