Roper Lake State Park

A fantastic State Park with fun ready for everyone. The RV/camping opportunities are outstanding. The sites are VERY well maintained, which includes immaculate restrooms & showers. The park Volunteers are wonderful & work hard to ensure the park is a place for everyone to enjoy..Day use or overnight stays, Roper Lake State Park is a terrific place to be. Enjoy!!

I wish they have full hook ups though, that makes life easier and convenient. The lake is small but very ideal for fishing. Lots of birds, during sunset they make loud sounds. But it die down as it gets later in the afternoon. Our site is facing the lake so it was a nice view. The shower is a few feet away from. And it's clean, well maintained. The fact that they have ramada in every site is wonderful. If you have company with tent, they have enough area for them too!

I've really come to appreciate the Arizona state park system. This location did not disappoint as it is perfect for a rustic and quiet retreat. Smaller than some of the other state parks that I visited, it has all the amenities needed for a nice day. The campground is well maintained as are the shower facilities.There is a fully stocked lake in the park and we saw some prize Trout that had been caught by one of our campground neighbors. The lake is small and does not allowed motorized boats however, kayaks and canoes are permitted. Animals are allowed in the park as long as they are on leashes, and the park even includes a pet Park.There are a number of trails in the area that are a beginner to intermediate that will take you up to the Mesa for some very nice views. Campsites include fire rings, picnic tables, and depending on which campground you're at include small shelters for sun protection. There are a number of sites with power and water and those without. This location tends to be booked up most of the time, so plan advance with your reservations. Prices are nominal and there is a nice gift shop at the entrance that you should check out when you stop in at this location.The nearby town offers, grocery shopping, hardware, stores, and a variety of different restaurants on the salsa trail that you should check out. This is an exceptionally quiet location and perfect for the stargazer on clear night.Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful with our questions.

What a great camping find. A pristine State Park in the middle of nowhere, 6 miles from the small town of Safford, AZ.On our cross country trip, we booked this campsite for one night. If we would have known how beautiful, peaceful and quiet this place was, we would probably have booked the maximum of 10 nights.It's been so long since I've seen so many stars!! The darkness of the night was a perfect backdrop for the scintillating jewels lighting the night sky.And quiet ... omg ... I can't remember when I've been so immersed in the velvety sounds of silence. I was in a trance, a dream that I did not wish to end. The sparks from our campfire flew upwards and finished like a mini pyrotechnic display.I love this place soooooo much. I'll certainly be back. You should give it a try. The mesmerizing aura of this place will capture your soul.

A beautiful park for a weekend trip. A few miles of trails and the cabin rate of $60 a night includes entrance to Dankworth park. The shower water is warm. The cabins are clean but the mattress pads are old and flat. A blowup bed is suggested as our foam pads were not sufficient. I strongly recommend spending a few nights at Roper Lake State Park.

This park is pretty nice. We've tried a few times to rent a pet friendly cabin at this park, but with little success. Pet friendly cabins are the most popular so end up being rented out first. It being Valentine's Day recently we had wanted to do something unique and special. We saw that the trails were being advertised like crazy so we decided to at least enjoy that part of it. There was a $10 fee for use of the park for the day. We ended up being slightly disappointed as there was only one simple, very simple trail with step's. It didn't give you true nature vibes or desert beauty. There was also another group hiking at the same time and we both felt rushed by each other. We also tried the dog park (there were no other dog's) and sat in front of the lake for a little bit. Over all, it was nice. I just wish there was a lot more to do and a lot more trails.

We love camping here for many reasons:-Roomy and clean camp sites-Clean bathrooms -Lovely lake for swimming and kayaking -Great hiking -Friendly rangers and nice visitor center (great t-shirts)-Nearby spas and mineral springs-Close to Safford if you need supplies-Not far from TucsonWe will be returning soon!

What an amazing weekend with friends and family. We booked our sites in advance and were all in around the same spot. There were 5 families all together, some of us in trailers and a couple in tents. Check in was easy and we often seen the park rangers driving around. We were near the showers/bathrooms for those who needed it. It was clean but our friends did say it was busy at times. We stayed in cottonwood campgrounds which you could access the lake...or drive around a couple min to a parking lot to be on the shore of the beach area. Our sites were equipped with water, electric and there was a dump station just as you left the park. Every site also had picnic tables and a fire pit. There was enough room for us to set up cornhole and chairs in between all of our sites. I think the only downside was the trees that shed off these thorn like needles. Other than that, we're all looking forward to another trip!

If you're looking for a nice spot to camp for the weekend, look no further. This is your spot. No tent, no RV, no problem, they have cabins also. If the water isn't your thing, bring your boots because they do have hiking trails. You can even see all the lake from the top of one hill. Lots of tables for day use visiting, a beach to just sit on and watch the water. This lake has just what you need for a healthy refresh.

We had a great time at roper! We brought our dogs and got a cabin. The cabins are large and have multiple beds. We had space to cook outside and the lake was a short walk away. We took our kayaks and enjoyed getting out on the water. The beach area was a little crowded and didn't allow dogs, so we didn't hang out there. I would definitely stay there again.
