Fool Hollow Lake Camground, Show Low, AZ

   This campground has been our most favorite campground since our first camping trip here back in 2007(?) were also the last days of using our camping tents because the following camping trips where on RV's/trailers. The campground boasts a clean environment and facilities with tall pine trees surrounding most all sites. The shower and restrooms are so well-maintained and always in spick and span. The lake...oh so beautiful- so calm and quiet, and very clean too where I had my first open water swim in America. It's where also we had our first catch of 3 big(actually only two because the first one able to escape) catfishes-bigger than my arm.

   The campground  looks and feels like so away from the hustle and bustle of cities yet in just a couple of miles you can be in downtown of Show Low and shop in Kmart or Safeway and get a latte at Starbucks.

   It is where also I found out later on that they do the "Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival"- a two-day event of triathlon and fun around the first or 2nd weekend of June. As a triathlete, it excites me more to keep coming back to this amazing place and train on its lake and its terrain for mountain bike and trail running. Though I still have to sign up in one of their triathlon events and I'm eyeing the off-road triathlon race where the biking is on the mountain and triathletes use MTB bikes. Can't wait for this race to join.

   Overall I'll rate this campground at 9.5 out of 10.
