Overall, this is a great campground. Sites are asphalt and well spaced. The pines are beautiful. There is one shower house near the entrance for the entire campground, with 4 Men and 4 Women individual shower rooms, plus 2 toilet rooms. It has a large parking lot, so you can drive there if you wish. Signs on the doors say to pay at the kiosk, but I think that is for non-campers.
This campground is managed by ExplorUS. The hosts were very helpful and friendly, but, like many vendor operated campgrounds, rules and rates are set somewhere far away by people who probably have never been to the site.
If you need a place to cool off when it's an oven in Phoenix, Canyon Point is a great choice.
Cell service:
Verizon - LTE, 30 Mbits down, 2.3 Mbits up.
T-Mobile: effectively no data. Phone calls work.

Clean, efficient and friendly staff. Some sites have 30A hookup, most do not. None have sewer or water, but there is a 2-bay dump station ($9 unless camping here). Potable water available there. Most sites are back in, fair number of pull thru. 7600 ft. Elevation. Some sites sunny or partial sun

There are several small lakes around the area that are within 10-15 drives. Kayaking is very good at the lakes as well.
I will be back. ATT and Verizon are good for service in the NE part of the campground. Streaming works well on loop A.

Until I stopped at the dump station. The hose connector to clean your black tank is NOT threaded! My class A coach has a threaded hose connector to rinse out the tank. Nope! You’ll need to get creative so be sure to wear something you can get wet! 😎

There were a few sites that had electricity, 32 sites out of 113 campsites. We had fresh water at the restroom, with a vault toilet, which was as clean as a vault restroom can be kept. There were a number of restrooms in the park. For us, the positives far outweigh the negatives.

This is an NPS campground managed by Thousand Trails. There are 2 Loops. Loop A is the smaller one that has electric hookups in most sites. Loop B is larger but has no hookups. Loop A is closer to the main road so you can hear some road noise, although it was barely noticeable to me. Near the entrance there is a dump station that is free for registered campers or $7 for visitors. Near the entry there is also a large bath house with flush toilets and private shower rooms. Most of the sites are well spaced apart providing for privacy. There are a few pull through sites, but most are back-in sites in a variety of lengths to accommodate almost any size rigs. I saw several large class A rigs there. In addition to the flush toilets near the entrance, there are also pit toilets spaced throughout the campground. All facilities were very clean and well maintained and the multiple camp hosts circulated frequently. The campground is easily accessed off of the 260 with paved roads and paved, level sites. I did not see much wildlife here, just squirrels, chipmunks and a variety of birds. I had no cell service here with Visible. The price was $30 per day plus an additional $7 per day for electric. With a senior pass it was $22 per day ($15 off per day)

The Verizon cell reception was great here so if you need to be connected this is a good campground.

Off a busy state highway. Turn off comes up quickly. Very popular area for Phoenix folks so book early or use their first come first serve area.
Campground is separated into two loops. Loop A has electric but is closer to highway so some residual traffic noise. Loop B deeper into the woods, a dry loop, less traffic noise. Loop B seemed more spacious. All sights have some shade from high pines and some ability to get a solar panel into some sun. Lots of dry wood (allowed to pick up dead fall) and pine cones for making fire ring campfire. Bundled wood for sale at front.
Very clean pit toilets scattered throughout loops. Potable water pump near each restroom. Very clean, spacious, hot water showers near entrance of campground. Loop B is big so it's a walk to the showers. Great time for a bike.
2 easy hiking trails right from campground. Multiple forest roads and lakes nearby for sightseeing.
General stores with all the basics within a couple of miles. The stores close early. Nearest gas about 20 minutes away. Cell phone service good outside our trailer. Very dark at night (nice) and quiet at night except for the coyotes. Staff very attentive and come past several times a day but do not bother.
Stayed during Covid so showers by daily pass only and no visitors allowed to campground which were not a problem.
