This whole area is fantastic to explore the lake and campgrounds are all excellent. I would recommend the overflow sites by the lake at Pleasant Harbor and the regional park RV sites are also great

Fantastic park . Marina is 100% dog friendly (if on a leash!) and the Kayak rental place is awesome. $25 for two hours on a single kayak . (Dog can join!) Parking for one car is $6 at entry of park .

Nice park close to Phoenix even if it’s a bit surreal to be at a lake among saguaros in the desert. Couple of decent hiking trails like to Yavapai Point to overlook the lake .
