Great views and the trail was well marked, but it was very steep and rocky so good shoes and or boots are a good idea. Not for frail folks. Super views of the Superstitions and back towards Phoenix. …Full review by BillUsma74

I'm not sure what photos you are looking at, but I went to a web site called campsite photos...and, well ...they are photos...and are pretty accurate. If you are tent camping be sure to bring a rake or some way to clear the pebbles...or better yet, bring a camping cot/sleeping pad. It is a very clean park and the RV sites are quite nice. I went with the family camping group last December and it was toasty in the day and chilly at night. Have FUN ;-)
Q:
Is there wifi in the park?

Nope.

In the park, roads are paved. Driving past the park there are side roads and hiking trails that are not paved. The Apache Trail continues on to canyon lake, apache lake and to Roosevelt lake too. The pavement ends along the way, but the road is not bad for vehicles under 30 ft. Lovely drive. Wonderful area.
Q:
Is this park safe for a solo female traveler to hike? Are the trails usually pretty busy?
