For Roosevelt Lake - Cholla Campground: This campground was well maintained. You have to pay for a campsite using a kiosk. The good news is they give you half off if you have a seniors America, the beautiful pass. I was traveling with a friend in another vehicle and chose a double site and found out that I could not get half off using my senior pass. So instead I called the Ranger station had them refund my money and purchased two single sites right next to each other. Cell service was very minimal with Verizon only one or two bars LTE. I was able to send and receive texts and phone calls, but I could not use my data. My traveling companion had AT&T and she had better luck. The restrooms were smelly on the outside but nice and clean on the inside. We stayed in the Cane Cholla Loop sites 166 and 168 and we both had good Lake views. And there is a trail that will take you down to the boat launch. We were hoping that access to the lake would be easier with our canoes, but since the campground is higher in elevation, you will have to drive your car down to the boat launch, drop off your canoe and park in the parking lot by the boat launch. There are only three shower facilities in the whole campground so you will have to walk or drive to one. It took me about 10 minutes to walk. Because it was in the high 80s lots of people were using their generators to run their ACs. It was very noisy and they ran them until quiet time which was 10 o’clock. Thankfully, it did cool down at night and people respected the quiet timeframe. There is running water in the bathroom sinks and also potable water nearby our campsite. We had to travel quite a distance out of our way to get to Lake Roosevelt, but it is a beautiful lake!

For Roosevelt Lake - Cholla Campground: This is a lovely campground. The hosts (Jack and Joan) were great and fun to visit with. The sites were well maintained with wonderful views of the water and good hiking trails. The reason it rates three stars is there was no water therefore no toilets or showers and the dump site was closed down. Porta potties were provided. Even so the price was still $25 a day ($12.50 with the senior pass). We were told there is a leak in the water system they haven’t been able to find. The system is 30 years old and hasn’t been maintained according to folks we spoke with. So if you don’t mind primitive camping this is the place for you! It is very quiet and peaceful here.

For Roosevelt Lake - Cholla Campground: This is a wonderful campground with very good amenities considering it does not have hookups. There are fresh water faucets scattered around the campgrounds. Flush toilets. Solar showers. Covered picnic tables. Fire rings with grate. The sites are spacious and not too crowded together. Senior pass gets you half price. There were very few campers there when we arrived although the camp host said they had just been full up from spring break and snow birds but they left by the time we got there. There is plenty of desert vegetation. We really enjoyed the variety and abundance of birds coming to our feeders. There were many quail. The stars were beautiful. No light pollution. No road noise. It is a great place but we were ready to go to a higher elevation as it was warming up. We would stay there again.

For Roosevelt Lake - Cholla Campground: Shhh! This place is one of the best kept secrets. I stopped for two nights and stayed for 12. The views and vegetation are lovely, free solar showers and restrooms are spotless and there is a great trail that circles the campground. There are no hook-ups, so this isn't for the grid-dependent traveler, but bring your solar panels and stay up to six months during the winter or two weeks after April 1.
