It was a stop over to visit family for a night and the camp is fine for that. Sits right on the Portneuf River with some access to the water. Trains running through the canyon on the other side of the road were noisy, but seemed to stop by 11p.
The side of the park we were in had large Willow trees and lots of room between some of the sites. Easily accommodate a big group with rv and tents. A little further up the hill from us were a number of new sites that looked really nice and across the entrance road, the same.
The odd part is that the Willow trees under which we were camped (we were in site 90) were oozing some sort of sticky substance that coated everything below... your motor home, trailer, chairs, bikes, tow cars, bbq, everything (including your dogs paws and the bottoms of you shoes). And not just a little bit. Google tells me that it's not unusual during the summer months for Willows that are infested with aphids to have this problem. Just wish we knew this when we booked the sites earlier this year. Kind of a mess to clean up.
The best feature of the campground might be the Lava Hot Springs Pools and water park nearby. Grand kids loved that.

Arizona has some very nice, scenic camps and we've so far been able to enjoy everything from the cool of the mountains and high desert to hot scrub of the low land desert to stellar camps along the Colorado. Can't think of any to which we wouldn't happily return. The sites in Coopers Hawk loop where we were are paved and nicely spaced. Some trees and bushes provide not so much shade as a bit of screening and privacy.
A little confusion on checking in at Dead Horse. We were told that at 2p Wednesday (we checked in around 4p), that Az would not be taking any new reservations or extending existing ones. All state campgrounds would be effectively closing until the beginning of May. We wanted to stay in the area so booked a week at Distant Drums in Camp Verde for after our reservations here ran out. This am I noticed the park ranger removing the plastic bags and placards on the self registration stations and she told me that the order closing the state parks had been rescinded at 8p last night, 6 hours after it had been issued. So the last info is that state campgrounds in Az remain open, at least for now.
