Happy Jack Lodge & RV Park is a full-service park set on 72 acres of the scenic Mogollon Rim in Arizona. It offers spacious full hook-up RV sites, cozy cabins, roomy suites, and tent sites to suit different lodging needs. Guests can use the RV dump, get fresh water, or propane, and store their RVs or trailers securely in the large storage lot. The park is conveniently located 39 miles north of Payson, 49 miles south of Flagstaff, and 120 miles north of Phoenix, with nearby fishing lakes like Long Lake, Blue Ridge Reservoir, and Lake Mary within 20 to 40 miles. Reservations are recommended, but drive-ups are welcome, making it suitable for family reunions, outings, weddings, or just for fun. Visitors enjoy camping in the quiet mountains, with nearby activities and trail systems for trucks, ATVs, or UTVs. The nearby store provides essentials, although at tourist pricing, and offers services like water filling, propane, and dump fees, but showers are not available unless staying or renting storage. The laundry is the only amenity currently reserved for guests, and some reviews mention that the store's water and shower options could be improved. Accommodations like the two-bedroom cabins are comfortable but lack cooling, with ceiling fans only, which can make daytime temperatures uncomfortable. The cabins feature a full kitchen, bathroom, and a comfortable living space with a couch and chairs, but beds may not be very comfortable. Some issues include poorly installed shower floors and windows that are not fully lockable, so guests should check locks for security. Trailer storage has been a concern, as gates are often left unlocked, risking theft or vandalism, and parking policies can be confusing. While staff are generally helpful and friendly, management issues have been noted, especially regarding enforcement of policies. Overall, the park offers a peaceful environment with friendly staff and nearby amenities, although improvements in cooling, security, and park management could enhance the guest experience.
Great place to getaway and spend time in the great weather. They have all the amenities and services most campers will need. Definitely a place to revisit.
