Old Mesa Campground

Out original campsite was too small and hard to reach. There were a lot of open campsites and we were able to change to a wonderful site near the showers and restrooms with plenty of shade trees and on level ground. It was our first time and we didn't know you had to drive to the lake, it was too far for us to walk. The website needs major improvements to show pictures of each site! We had no idea what we were getting when we booked our campsite.

Our campsite wasn't visible for the street but still close to the bathrooms. Some great paved walking paths nearby. Note: the lake had a toxic algae bloom you could see on one side, but looked clear where the swim sections were. Some path parts were blocked off due to the recent fire. Great sunrise views and pretty quiet during the night. We did hear birds or squirrels moving around in the trees and heard an owl at night. We took our two huskies with us and there were dogs at the campsites nearby.

Campsite 81 and hmmmm first off for pros: the toilets are cleaned daily and restocked with toilet paper in the morning and sometime in the afternoon which is nice. You have some privacy and distance from neighbors but I've been to campsites that have more space and privacy. At 81, you do see 82 in your view but we had nice neighbors. They had three kids that would karaoke at night but honestly it could've been worse since a bigger group was way louder but further from us. The site also had a spot hidden in the trees specifically for our tent which fit nicely. However we booked the site for two tents, sadly the other group couldn't make it since they got sick. It worked out though because I have no idea where they would set up their tent. 81 is definitely meant for just one tent, didn't hav

Campsite 71 is the best site in old Mesa. Enough parking for four cars, trees for 3 hammocks, spacious with a decently placed fire pit at General height. This would be a perfect spot for family reunions since there is a lawn in front, which allows for spacious games like football. After scouting old Mesa and new Mesa this is the best spot and with good shade. 72 &73 are also Ok. $45 for the site & a Car. $10 for any extra car

Off season camping trip with great weather and lots of empty sites. Park was good shape sand seemed will maintained. Bathrooms did run out of paper product butt you should always have backup with you.
