Windy Hill Campground

Windy Hill Campground is located on central Arizona's largest lake and offers great water recreation opportunities to the public. Because of its close proximity to the Lake, Windy Hill allows fishing, non-motorized and motorized boating, along with hiking trails.  There are plenty of developed campsites available at Windy Hill, which allows for an easy, quick escape any time of the year for families and individuals. Maximum trailer length for Coati loop is 20 feet.
