Summer fun swimming and hot mineral springs on cool days. Nearby spas and the farming town of Safford. Park is clean and well maintained. Great for the RV crowd. Sites are level and have electric and water. Dump station at park entrance.
Hot tub has lots of kids during the day, go at dinner time. Or visit nearby Essence of Tranquility http://www.azhotmineralspring.com/ for hotter tubs and maybe a massage.
Easy hiking trails, fishing pier, nice grassy picnic area.

We opted for the dry camping loop (Gila Loop) because we didn't need to hook up. There are water spigots located throughout the loop. Each site has a picnic table or two, and all are paved and level. It looks like they've raised the rates to $18 (dry) and $28 (full hookup) since the original listing. We visited February 21 and 22, 2016... more
We opted for the dry camping loop (Gila Loop) because we didn't need to hook up. There are water spigots located throughout the loop. Each site has a picnic table or two, and all are paved and level. It looks like they've raised the rates to $18 (dry) and $28 (full hookup) since the original listing. We visited February 21 and 22, 2016.
Sites closest to the lake are cabins with porch swings, outdoor barbeques and sinks. Two new vault toilets are in this loop, but it's a short walk across a footbridge to the next loop with hot showers and flush toilets, all of which are spotless.
The park staff only puts dry campers in every other spot on the inside loop of Gila so that each visitor has more space (even-numbered sites only), but I be in a pinch they'd fill it up more tightly.
The whole park is furnished with thoughtful touches— hand-washing soap and sinks by the vault toilets, a natural hot spring for soaking up on the mesa, and several miles of walking paths around the lake. Volunteers were busy re-painting some ramadas and picnic tables.
Bird life abounds— we saw vermilion fly-catchers, loons, coots and thousands of yellow-headed blackbirds. Plus many other bird species we could not name. The paths and road around the park are great for bicycling, too.
After the first night, we spent about 5 hours driving up the amazing Highway 366 to the top of Mt. Graham that we decided to spend another night at Roper Lake SP. There were several campgrounds high up there (at 6, 7, and 8,000 feet) but the temp would drop pretty low overnight. So we returned to Roper for another very pleasant night. Highly recommend, and close to spectacular hiking up in the Pinalenos Mountains.
We had 2 bars of Verizon LTE, both at Roper Lake SP and up on the mountain.

2nd time here for us. We stayed in the hookup loop and were very happy with the site. Park is laid out well and the bonus is a small warm spring hot tub/spa. Back in town of Safford is a GREAT Mexican restaurant, Casa Manana.

We were surprised with how much we liked it here! We stayed in the dry camping loop because 1) it was only $15/night instead of $25, and 2) it was way less crowded.

The small lake is beautiful, and our kids had a great time watching the ducks. We also did a walk from our site all the way around the lake in a large loop. The hot tub is clean, although not crazy warm. There's also a nice nature trail from the hot tub up on top of the small mesa and back down that had some great views of the area.
Our kids earned their Jr. Ranger Badge and we mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery!
