Great content this is why I love youtube. Had no idea about this lake and we are in the area great channel

[@ArizonaTreks]

Thank you! I had a great time camping & hiking at Lake Pleasant & I'm sure you will too!

[@pigeonsil240sx]

can i bring a tent and camp overnight at desert tortouse? i was told by friend i cant,

[@ArizonaTreks]

Yes, if you reserve a site. I camped with only a tent when I was there. There are some sites, like the one i reserved, that are “Tent Only” walk in sites (it’s a short walk). I think you can also tent camp at the RV sites, but you’ll be charged the RV rate (which is more than the tent only rate.”

[@JeffSmith-it4tm]

22$ check in at 2pm maybe 1, 8 more if you reserve it and the place is full of burro poop and people are too close.

[@ArizonaTreks]

Thanks for sharing your experience. We didn't have any problems with the sites being too close together, since our site was a walk-in tent only site and there was only 1 other tent site nearby.

This was very informative. I’m new to the area so I’m checking out the parks. You have a great voice for these videos also!

[@ArizonaTreks]

@@rvlife289 Thank you! I'm new to AZ too, so I'm also learning a lot about the area. I'll be publishing a new video later this week about mountain biking in Usery Mountain Park, so look for it soon!
