What campers say

Burnt Corral Campground sits on the Salt River below Roosevelt Dam and offers excellent water access, lake views, fishing and boating opportunities. Sites vary—some are riverside and private, others are closer together—and the terrain is mostly flat with trees. It’s dry camping with compost/pit toilets and potable water at spigots; no hookups. Hosts are generally friendly but their presence and site maintenance can be inconsistent. Expect occasional crowds, weekend noise and wildlife (skunks), and limited garbage pickup in some cases. The access road can be steep and narrow, so avoid trailers or large rigs unless you’re comfortable with that drive.
