About the campground
The elevation is 1,900 ft. The campground is off the Apache Trail Scenic Byway in the Apache Lake Gorge, next to Apache Lake. Many sites are also next to or overlook the lake. Large old Mesquite trees make many of the sites private and provide some canopy. Besides water sports, there are some interesting things to do from this campground. They are: (1) Tonto National Monument - here one can view the 700-year-old pueblo- style cave dwellings of the prehistoric Salado people. (2) Apache Trail - the trail (which can be driven in a family sedan) had its beginnings centuries ago as an aboriginal highway through the Superstition Mountains. The drive along this road (State Rt. 88) has some spectacular views and is about 78 miles. It is an excellent one-day trip, some of which should NOT be driven with an RV. In the authors’ view, the best part of the drive is between Tortilla Flat and the Roosevelt Dam - about 27 miles. Consider stopping at the restaurant in Tortilla Flat. In other interesting items, almost every wall is lined with one dollar bills. (3) Roosevelt Dam - Dedicated in 1911, the 357-ft. high dam forms the Roosevelt and Apache Lakes. (4) Besh-Ba-Gowa Archaeological Park in Globe, AZ is a site where the Hohokam first established a pit-house settlement around A.D. 900 and abandoned it about 1100 A.D. Later, around 1225, Salado Indians began constructing the pueblo seen today. Tonto National Forest 327
