Tonto National Forest

The host was very nice and very helpful. Campground was peaceful, being a weekday in late October, but minor highway noise. I've been coming to Ponderosa for many years and this was the nicest experience.

Very relaxing stay and space 61 is the best!

Still a nice place after 50 years

We have always enjoyed Christopher Creek Campground

The campsite A19 was very messy from the storms and I cleaned it up but the camp host should’ve cleaned it up before we got there! Also, we only saw the camp host once and that was after the toilet paper was gone from the bathroom! There was also safety issues with the campsite. There was a rod sticking up and bent over into a loop that somebody could’ve tripped over and I pulled that out and also there’s a 3 inch tall stump by the parking spot that needs cut off so no one trips on it loading or unloading their vehicles! Also the edge of the parking spot needs paved/beveled with asphalt to prevent somebody from falling off it or tripping over it getting to their vehicle! Also, the US 260 is too close to the campsite so it is very noisy from all the traffic throughout the day and night! In the future, I’m gonna get a campsite back in the D section so there is not so much noise!

Five stars for Christopher Creek Campground and camp host Sharon! Heavy rains on October 20th flooded the creek bridge, making our original site inaccessible to us. We thought we'd have to cancel our kids' first camping trip, but our camp host, Sharon, completely saved the weekend. She was a total lifesaver and quickly relocated us to a safe, clean spot on Loop A. The campground itself is beautiful and well-maintained. Our site had excellent creek access, clean usable water, a bear-proof cabinet, and great tree cover that actually protected us from a surprise hail storm. Incredible hospitality and a gorgeous location...we highly recommend this spot!
