Alamo Lake State Park Alamo Road, Wenden, AZ 85357

"Fabulous state park! We stargazed, caught fish, dogs swam, jeeped OHV trails and saw burros. We'll go back for sure!"

"Tent Campers!! We did not enjoy our time here at this park. ATV and giant motorhomes run the show. Campgrounds are congested. Current construction impedes the peaceful mornings along with roaring ATVs and Boats. Park rangers wouldn’t leave us alone asking questions and trying to constantly guilt trip/ harassed the whole time. Advertising dark sky site but our campground was lite up like a cathedral?! Hardly any established hiking trails. Unnecessary, Construction orange fencing obscured the campground view?! Asked for refund and got the go around from the park ranger- which shouldn’t happen?! Could only last 4 nights on our 10 night stay. They make motorhomes back up into site. This can be a process in the dark. Imagine tent camping cooking outside and a HUGE motorhome takes 20 mins backing up with 5 people yelling and unloading ATVS while trying to enjoy our dinner at the fire. Exhaust and all… Imagine sleeping 7am ATV and Construction noise waking you up. :) ?!?! Was really let down by the organization of this park. With a little segregation would be WAY better!"

"This secret gem was awesome. Beautiful scenery, walking trails, lookout points, slot canyon to visit, fishing, etc. We stayed in Lot C. Very quiet, hookups if needed, clean public bathroom and showers near by. Friendly neighbors from other areas. We'll definitely be back!"

"We've been camping at Alamo Lake for my husband's birthday for the past few years and love it. I am not a huge fan of desert camping but this is a great winter camping spot with a beautiful lake that is great for kayaking and fishing."

"Alamo lake is a very desolate lake, it is 43 miles from the nearest town. Get everything you need before heading out there. The ranger station or pay station has some items for fishing or a few essentials but very limited. There is a bar/restaurant called Wayside, it’s a small Rv park with this bar. Lots of people come here with their side by sides. Tons of trails out here for that. We ate lunch there and grabbed a t shirt. The food was decent. They have a few essentials as well. The campground itself is clean and neat. It is out dated and could use a make over. This is not a place to come with your Rv and hang out at your site. This is a fisherman’s paradise, it’s claim is that they have the best bass fishing in the state. We seen many anglers and they were catching fish. They have a nice fish cleaning set up there and it was being used quite a bit. Our spot had a picnic table at it and it was kind of blah. Up top to the north camp loop had some good spots with lots of views of the lake. These spots were as well not that impressive. I think they only had power and electric, you would have to dump at the dump station for sewer. They do have a few cabins you could rent to the west camp ground loop. They looked nice as well. At our spot we did have full hook ups with sewer. We were space 16 I believe. The concrete pad was not level and I needed 3 wheel blocks per wheel (6 leveling blocks)on one side to level out. We kayaked and had easy assess to the water. It was a great time on the water kayaking. The wind did pick up and we fought that a bit but the lake itself is beautiful with the mountains all around. We drove up to the dam and sat up top and to get a good view. There are some history boards there that gave a history of the lake. There are donkeys all over the place. The most donkeys I have ever seen at a AZ lake! Beware when driving in to the lake. The night sky will knock your socks off with all the stars. I cannot remember when we seen so many stars! Millions of them!!! The sky was so dark and there are so many stars you honestly can get lost looking up with amazement. Glad we came here but probably would not go back unless I wanted to fish and see the stars. If that is your thing then this is the place to go. Tons of fisher men. The guys next to us were canoeing to the east side of the lake for duck hunting as well. They said there were some good spots up there…"
