Reviews
- ★★★★★about 7 years agoNavajo lake a great summer destination. The camping spots fill up quickly as the weather starts to warm up. Camping is very convenient with the brand new marina nearby is you've forgotten anything. The camp sites and restrooms are always kept clean. If you don't have a boat prepare to make a hike down the mountain from your campsite where you often have a secluded area to yourself. Although a bit crowded at times, you can also drive down to the beachy areas just left of the marina.
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoThis was a wonderful experience at the Navajo lake. The lake is enormous and it goes all the way to Colorado. They have a store and food court and a little boat rentals for kids and other rentals to enjoy the day. They have security ensuring you are not going too fast. Plenty of room to enjoy with family. Restrooms are decently clean. Prices at the stores are decently marked
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoBeautiful lake, nice campgrounds, and there is a marina where you can rent boats, jet skies and other water items....
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoWe’re camping for a few days on one the designated loops. Pros: lake views, nice hiking along San Juan river, not crowded. Cons: showers not running in bathrooms, noisy motor boats and low but steady noise from nearby oil/gas rigs.
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoThe cleanest bathrooms I've been in while camping. This camping place is clean. The lake was beautiful. Great place for boats.
