It wan a efficient campground, but crowded, clean bathrooms and nice enough people but it would have been nice if the hosts could stop and say hello- we were next door to two of them. The view from site #65 was great but it rained the first two days. Verizon Internet was full bars.

We loved being on the landside of Roadrunner campground, as it seemed quieter than the lakeside and hade gorgeous sunsets. There’s plenty of hiking around the lake (get maps when you enter or use AllTrails), and many brought their own kayaks. (There’s a fee to bring in your kayak)
There are restaurants at each of the marinas (check hours). There’s a very nice Fry’s Marketplace grocery just 20 away. Ice sold at entry to the park. Showers/bathrooms are clean but just ok. We loved it here!

Beautiful views, Discovery Center and playground great for kids. Showers mediocre and barely warm 🤷🏼♀️. Biggest issue is that there is only one dump station and it’s quite far from the Roadrunner campground. (If you need to dump a portable tank it’s at least a 1/2 hour trip.)

We camped in the road runner campground. It is a hike down to the water. It is a beautiful view of the lake from the campground. The sites have electric and water. There is a dump station on your way out. The playground is up the hill by the visitors center. It is a fabulous playground. Very relaxing with plenty of hikes if you want.

After “Siri”gave us bad directions to the lake (search scorpion bay marina) we got to the park entrance and they tried to charge us $15 each kayak to bring to bring them into the park even though we had reservations to camp. After I explained to the attendant we were on a long trip and were there to visit a sick relative and wouldn’t be using the kayaks and would offload them at our relatives in town if needed, he didn’t charge us.
We had reserved site 15 and arrived a little early and the camp hosts were cleaning up from the previous campers he was super nice and gave us heads up about the wildlife.***
As I was setting up I found the 110v on the electrical box to be “not working” and after my wife went through the hassle of calling the reservation service a different camp host showed up and said it wasn’t broken you just “had to be nice to it” so I just avoided it and used the 30amp. The site had a wonderfully shaded concrete picnic table was well designed and perfectly level. There was some noise from some campers that were watching the cardinals play on Monday night football but it wasn’t bad.
After that we had a great stay at this beautiful lake. It got a little hot for a minute during the day (mid oct)but it is Arizona.
We found great hiking trails and the wildlife was amazing.
We had rabbits, squirrels, quail, wild burrows and the most humongous skunk I’d ever seen in my life. ***Which was what the camp host warned us of.
Overall it I’d stay again if I was in the area.

We stayed in the Roadrunner Campground on our maiden voyage in our new Class C. Site #55 was a pull through with a view of the desert. The site was almost completely flat and little leveling was needed. Walking across the campground, you can get awesome views from the lake. The campground seemed well maintained. The sites didn't seem too close together. The bathroom facilities were decent.
For anyone attempting to work remotely, there is a cell tower positioned next to the Nature/Discovery Center, so the closer you can get to that, the better. There is little to no cell service in other parts of the large park. We were able to get AT&T and Verizon (Visible) speeds of averaging around 25MBPS on weekdays (slower on the weekend with more congestion).
Some of the other sites included a shade structure, but our pull through did not.
The only real con to this campground is the hours. Even though they provide you with an after hours code, you are not able to access the park after 8 PM (at least during COVID, unsure about other times). Since it's 30-45 minutes from the closest store or restaurant, plan wisely. We almost got locked out in our attempts to get a much needed repair part, but had to wait until the morning. On a warm weekend, expect some delays trying to get into the park as it's quite busy with boat users.

You really can’t miss with Maricopa County Parks. The landscape and appeal of Lake Pleasant is quite a bit different from places like McDowell Mountain, Usery, and Cave Creek. It may seem strange to say we were fortunate to be at Lake Pleasant in inclement weather but it brought out insane levels of dramatic beauty looking out over the saguaros. We were only able to score two nights there but boy howdy we got a show.
The sites at Pleasant Lake are a bit more difficult to manage than other Maricopa parks. The terrain is more challenging in terms of slope and they are not as spatially generous, also because of slopes. Still totally worth it but you’ll have to work harder to get into your site.
We had to hastily block the road while we dropped the toy hauler ramp to unload the sidecar before we could back in properly. We were fortunate in that no one came by in the time we feverishly did that, sensitive to not messing up others’ experiences and creating a roadblock, even for a few minutes.
Because it’s tight, we had to summon our best marshalling skills to back in and not tag the palapa at the site. But once in, the site was very level and no more work was needed to get settled. Cue up happy hour!
Sites are paved and restroom/bath facilities are in line with all of Maricopa parks. Which means, well-maintained and very agreeable. But because Maricopa parks are well-deservedly popular, book hella in advanced for peak season. They’re popular for a reason.
Note for those who carry “toys”: on the way out we made use of a larger, group parking area to load the sidecar. Depending on your site, you may want to consider unloading your tow-in/hauled vehicle at a larger parking area before getting to your campsite. Next time (now that we know the site challenges), we certainly will.
