Rainbow Campground

This was a quiet campground for the most part. We did have kids next to us that woke us up at 6 AM every morning. For the most part we loved this campground. Our spot number 10 was huge and very spaced from our neighbors. Our satellite was a bit hit and miss because you were surrounded by trees. We would definitely stay here again. Nice walk to Big Lake.

Had reserved 2 days but stayed only one because generator did not work well at 9200ft. Plus the gas heater only worked if set to electric heat which was strange.
Not many ants or bugs but lots of pine needles. Basically, no one was here at this time - May 16. This is just after they accept reservations, but before Memorial Day.

The roads in, and the campground roads have horrible breaks or separations at equal intervals. Must go extremely slow with an RV and also with a bike. This is similar to Fool Hollow campground but worse. Recommend biking outside the campground towards the Big Lake.

There's a Trout campground nearby which supposedly has full hookup, which would avoid having the generator trouble.

This was the coolest location we found in AZ during the heatwave. Only 80°F.
No cell service anywhere. Not much shade. 1 tree overhead.
Not near lake but can walk or bike to it.

My family and I loved everything about this campground and it’s surrounding area. We stayed in spot 49 (pull through) which was a nice sized site and easy to get to. Big Lake was fantastic- we rented a fishing boat and spent hours on the water, pulling out about 15 rainbow trout. The rainbow campground does not have hookups but water was nearby and the dump station was quick and easy as well. All in all, a great experience.

This is organized dry camping in northern Arizona. Water is available at multiple locations dispersed through the 156 asphalt pad campsites. Most campsites have their own picnick table and fire pit. Each loop has its own building with toilets in good working order. Though spacing varies between campsites, most have generous spacing. Here you are surrounded by flora and this results in a peaceful setting. Bears and mountain lions have been reported but none were seen. We did have a skunk wonder through every evening about the same time. There is very little noise. One of the main reasons to be here is for the fishing at nearby Big Lake. The nearby general store has some food supplies, fishing supplies and rents boats. The nearest town of any significance was about 30 miles away. A dump station is available for an additional fee. Plan on no cell service unless you have a booster. Check the weather as it rains often during Arizona monsoon season. During our visit in late august mosquitos were bothersome and the campground was perhaps half filled.
