Very quite campgrounds. Camp hosts are very friendly. There is little to no cell phone service. Lake is a short distance and great for fishing

★★★★☆ 4.0 Guillermo Loubriel · Aug 2022

We were there from 7/29/2022,  leaving 8/3 and had reserved and paid for site 11.  The lake itself is great, 5 stars.  We used a kayak and went all around.  Some parts are only one foot deep. Good things:  bathrooms were clean and they had toilet paper; electricity and water were available and worked well; they had cleaned brush and there were many piles of wood for fires.  The access to the lake is about 500 feet down from Juniper and parts are rocky and at 45 degree slope.  If you go in an RV and stay at Juniper Campground be aware that it is not setup correctly.   First- there are 6 areas that each area has parking for 3 RVs but very close together-see photo  You end up being too close to the other RVs. In our case 2 feet. Second- you can only reserve odd spots or sites  We reserved #1

Juniper camp ground was great! Bathrooms and grounds were immaculate and the camp hosts Annette and Lee were so great, can’t wait to go back

★★★★★ 5.0 James Dalleska · Sep 2024

Love this place. A bit out of the way but worth it. Good fishing and all of the even camp sites are first come first serve. Lots of crawfish in the lake, love to take your bait.

★★★★☆ 4.0 James Grein · Jun 2018

Clean campground with excellent views overlooking Quemado Lake. Lots of Elk and birds of prey to watch in their natural habitat. Be aware, however, if you have small holding tanks on your RV. The USFS site lists this park as having "full RV hookups" but there is only power and water available. You have to go 1/4 mile down the road to the Pinon Campground in order to dump for a $5 fee. There is no dumping of any kind on the premises, to include any wash water or even rinsing out a cup, else you face a $100 fine. If it were not for this issue with the listing, it would be an easy 5 stars.
