Calm not very crowded even though we went in Fourth of July . Clean, easy to navigate
This is an awesome family friendly place to spend some outdoor time with the family. They have some sandy areas that are great for the little ones. Water is great and some great fish. Definitely will go back again
Took the family out in March '22 to SB Cove and had a great time in our little pop-up camper. We got lucky and was able to grab a spot right on the water front. Bring a shovel to help level your campers. You don't need a 4x4 to get to this area and we saw some smaller cars as well. There was a little bit of wind but nothing outrages. We saw a few people catch a lot of fish! Just make sure you buy your Tonto pass before you head out here just in case the kiosk doesn't work and to save a couple of bucks. The 2 bathrooms here were really clean and had absolutely no smell when we used it. You can access the restrooms by hiking back up away from the water.
Very easy to get to. Area was clean. Bathrooms (vault toilets/no sinks or water) were very clean. Bring your own wood. Buy your tonto pass and camping pass before coming because the machines are always broken.
One of my fave places for over-night fishing. Sandy/gravel beaches, mostly shallow, good for paddle sports and swimming
