Fool Hollow Lake

Show Low, AZ

We began our adventure at 2:38 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10th. Our first stop - Fool Hollow Lake Campground near Show Low, AZ. Show Low is located in the White Mountains. Elevation here is approximately 6,300 feet so the days are cool and the nights can be a bit nippy. High today was 64 with a low of 39. Absolutely wonderful weather. The night we arrived, Winston and I were in the scout car scoping out the campground before Mark committed with the Motorhome and we spotted a herd of deer - at least 12-15 that were returning from getting an evening drink at the lake. Okay, so it was dark and we almost ran them over and scared us to death, but still they were a sight. Wow!

This is a wonderful campground which boasts a 150 acre lake; 92 full hookup RV sites and 31 tent sites. Fishing is popular. There are five fishing platforms and the lake has rainbow trout, large and small mouth bass, etc. for those of our friends who enjoy fishing. I've seen some canoes and small boats on the lake. There are restrooms with shower facilities and btw the restrooms are the cleanest public facilities I've ever seen. Not too many people here yet as it's still a little early in the year I guess for most campers, but it works for us as we practically have the whole place to ourselves. Our site is located at Mallard #10 and has a view through the trees of the lake, lots of shade and close proximity to the showers. Best campsites in my opinion are Mallard 9 and 10.

The guys and I have settled into the laid back camping lifestyle without much trouble. Winston's loving the long walks, Mark is just happy to be here as his "honey do" list has shrunk tremendously and I am enjoying spending my days sitting outside under the pine trees and reading. Its so quiet and there is nothing like a little mountain air to improve your sleep. I never cared for camping before, but I must say that having a motorhome, cell phone service, satellite tv and internet services certainly makes camping a dream!
