Alamo Lake State Park, AZ.

We always wanted to get to Prescott or back home and we didn't have a camper anyway. Well now that we have a camper we watched a few videos on the lake and decided we wanted to go. The lake was created when the Army Corp of Engineers built the Alamo Dam on the Bill Williams river for flood control.

Alamo Lake State Park is one of the best places to fish for bass in Arizona. The crystal clear lake is surrounded by mountainous terrain speckled with brush, wildflowers and cacti making for a visually pleasing experience. We loved sitting at the campsite soaking in the view.
