Friendly helpful Rangers. Very pretty park along the river. Good size sites. Only issue was a problem with the well which caused a hopefully soon to be fixed water supply.

This is our favorite place in Arizona. Even bought Starlink for this trip since WiFi is so bad there and we wanted to stay a 2 weeks. Close to Parker if you need anything. Hearing the burros hee haw across the river makes me smile every time. Dog park is heaven for our dogs.
