Campground Overview:

Nearby Attractions and Activities:
The main attraction at this campground is of course, Alamo Lake. The lake and campground are remote and quite far from any large population centers. Wickenburg is a good 80 miles away. The State Park has few maintained trails around the lake. The main activity is fishing, and Alamo Lake is one of the best places to fish for bass in Arizona. The bass are also known to spawn earlier here than other lakes in Arizona which makes for some great early spring fishing opportunities.
The area is also very popular with ATVers. There are literally hundreds of miles of OHV riding trails located near the park, outside of park boundaries. The area is a popular destination for quad riders and dirt bikers. Please note that OHV use is not allowed inside the park unless the OHV is street legal (it must have a motorcycle plate). Please be respectful of other park guests. Note that a few OHV trailheads start at the border of the park.
