Alamo Lake State Park

Yes clean baths is a priority for us- we have a van camper, without a shower- this campground has the best we have seen. The lake is accessible from each campground and for a dessert area there are many trees, just don’t count on much shade.
It is busy as it seems fishing is big here. Cell service is consistent -2bars, at least for us at our spot.

After boondocking for several months, I was excited to have full hook-ups and relax for a while. I read that there was limited internet, but even with my WeBoost, this spot had no connectivity most of the time. A few early mornings, I was able to connect. The photo I uploaded was on a trailhead. So funny someone noted the trail leads to internet service!! There is a bench at the top of the hill where you can sit and catch up on emails. Most campers are fishing so they stay busy, but if you are not a fisherman, 8 nights is too long. The burros are a high point for sure. They are all over the camp and the best part is that they made trails all over the park area. I enjoyed many long hikes around the desert just following the burro trails. The showers were clean. Lots of families on the weekends. Site #8 has shade and is below a small limited playground. There was no wind and the RV stayed cooler. Don't forget anything on the long drive up to the park! The office does have a small store with some essentials.

We're in back-in spot B22 with a lovely view of the lake. Site is paved and level. 50 amp service and water hook ups are well positioned. Site has a picnic table and fire pit, well positioned. Lots of room. Parking for toad, just right. Cleanliness and maintenance is outstanding. Way to go campground hosts/staff.

Now for the unexpected news. We have Verizon internet with our hotspot and window antenna. Speed test is variable but plenty good (so far) to send and receive email and load web pages.

30-some mile road in is narrow but surface is fine. Observer the speed limit and you'll be fine.

UPDATE ON VERIZON INTERNET: Our Verizon hotspot has reliable internet until afternoon, when it slows to a crawl (or standstill). So it must be a bandwidth limitation. It starts working again around 9am.

I booked here to get out of my boondocking site before it started raining for several days. I wanted to be sure I did not get stuck or lose power with solar not recharging. Alamo Lake SP had availability and was in my general neck of the woods. The park is more than 30 miles from gas, propane and groceries, so plan ahead. I stayed in Area C where the sites are paved and well maintained, although not as large as spots I have had at other AZ parks. 30 amp plus water. Great views from Rattlesnake Overlook. The fishing is supposed to excellent. Lots of OHVers here.

This was our first visit. We will definitely come again. Nice large spots and mostly level. 30 amp hookup and water to site. Ranger and volunteers were very friendly. The weather was good. Cell service with Verizon was 2 or 3 bars. Able to run mobile hot spot to post my daily blog. Wonderful way to spend Christmas! Must check in at the ranger station about 1/2 mile from the turn off.
