poor job of communicating with lot holders. They make changes to the rules and lot holders after contract is signed. storage rates increased 125% read more

Stopped at this place but not to stay. We were looking for a convenient store as we were looking around at homes. This is a neat place and seems to have odds and ends of what someone would need for camping or just passing through. We loved the shirts and hoodies and picked up a few. We saw the cabins beyond the store. Very nice set up for RVers. Although the lodge was closed for winter for most activities, the store is open. We will stop by again since we are only less than 2hrs away. read more

The manager isn't user friendly too many rules and regulations worse than a city HOA. I stayed there 6 years for 6 months in the summer I would have stayed again in 2026 but Julie told me she wouldn't let me because I asked too many questions on new developments before I would commit to another $6000.00 or full hook up. read more

Beautiful lodge. Terrible customer service. The women who are at the front desk and answering phones need a course on caring for customers.

Better selection of food we asked for a grilled cheese and they refused to make it even though we had a vegetarian with us who did not want a case quesadilla. Chicken was way overcooked and had American cheese slather on it. read more

When we first went a few years ago - great! Now - terrible. Drinks used to be good. Food used to not be served in a styrofoam tray. Service used to be good. I guess times change! Wouldn't go back. read more

I would like you to know when we got to the cabin the floor was filthy the shower was dirty and the bed was creaky and loud. When either one of us rolled over it was really loud. Also one of the cabinet doors was hanging down the bathroom door won't close and lock. We didn't expect the Marriot but that bed was really old as was the couch with white stuff on it. Only one window would open. We loved the decor with the comforter and sheets. Everything else worked fine. I tried to get a different room and the lady was rude and acted offended when I ask if the beds had ever been upgraded. She said the other cabins hadn't been cleaned yet. Not very hospitable or nice. I am in customer service and always welcome Feedback to give me the opportunity to make things better next time around. Charlie Bennett read more

My husband and I stayed here while hunting turkey this past weekend. Perfect place! Nice and clean, friendly staff, awesome restaurant. We went both nights to Jacks place and it was perfect. Got super busy with one girl running the show but she did a great job and very friendly no matter how busy she was. Will stay here again! read more

Thought we would give this place a try on the way home from fishing Saturday. NEVER AGAIN!! Upon entering you stand in line to pick from the menu and are required to pay in advance for your food (should have known better) and drinks, they give you a table number and you find a spot yourself and go wait (no one checks on you). If you want refills on your soda you will have to get in line, wait and then pay again. After an hour with no food and no service, we went back to wait in line again just to find out about our order. For 2 18$ steaks w/frys and one burger w/fries, we were told they were still waiting on one more thing to cook and it would be right out. Another 10 minutes go by and finely the food comes.. I honestly thought they forgot the steaks, it looked like just fried mushrooms and onions.. I moved them aside and found what they called a steak, my requested med/rare steak was so charged and over done it broke into pieces (see pic). The frys were cold and rubbery and the burger was completely raw on the inside, raw mush! It was a waste of $65. The only positive was the bartender who had a genuinely nice attitude but that poor girl was just set up to fail with zero support staff. If you're just after a couple beers it might just be ok but for food NEVER AGAIN and definitely only pay cash. Looks like there are some sketchy unauthorized charges noted by other reviewers of their establishment. ** see corresponding google review with photos ** read more

Made reservations for Friday-Monday. Rented a space that was recommended by staff over the phone after giving her our vehicle and rv size advising that it is a toy hauler and need room to lower gate and back out quads. After reviewing our reservation we realized the site was not near long enough. I called a week before we were to arrive to change site, of course had to pay an extra $53.00 over the initial $209.00 we had already paid, which was fine, we needed the larger site. I called the office few days before we were to arrive to cancel reservations due to life issues out of our control. I was told by the staff on the phone to send an email, which I did immediately. I did not request a refund, I requested a credit to use at a later time. I am a retired vet and on a limited income so $262 is a chunk. I received a response from Jeanne, she was short in her response, refused a refund....I never asked for a refund, only asked for a credit for later. I called back after got the email to talk to her and of course she is not available. Left my name and number and was told she would call me back...she has not. Word of mouth is either the best or worse thing for a business, in this case it will be the worse. We have lots of supportive friends that stay here for now. read more

Ok folks, great place, great location. Place is filled with no overflow even in dry camping. Its a good ole boy system.... He who pays will get 1st choice. That being said, you would think they would allow their residents that pay the fees to take a shower without buying a token. Really? I think they police the residents to much when they should perhaps keep the facilities (rest room) cleaner etc. How bout a dog run area, or access to the forest service road beside the lodge? Instead of no trespassing signs. Its a forest service road. On a good note....They have water fill up, sewer drop off, mobile water fill and sewer services. Bar n restaurant (limited hours), $3.00 laundry machines per wash. It's a pretty area for sure. Just needs to be more boondocking friendly. read more

We have been staying in the area for a month now and frequent the restaurant and bar a few times a week. The food is OK and the gals working in the restaurant are friendly. Prices are pretty high for the drinks but oh well. As we were leaving today we wanted to get a few snacks in the store. We brought our purchases up to the counter and then the phone rings. The lady completely ignores the fact that we were there before the phone rang and continued to talk to someone on the line for about 5 minutes. We stood there the whole time and not once did she look at us or say I'll be right with you. She finally hung up the phone then still ignored us until my wife asked if this was where we paid for our purchases, to which she replied very snotty "when I get around to it"!. That was it for us. We left our purchases on the counter and walked out. As we were leaving, there were two guys in company golf carts out front sitting doing nothing and I told them that the lady in the store was very snotty and rude. I think one of the guys was a manager but didn't seem to care. I might also add that there were two ladies working in the store and neither looked at us or said anything. If you don't like your job work somewhere else. Both times this week that we visited the lodge there was no soap or towels in the men's restroom and today none in the ladies room. This place is not busy during the week and with all the guys sitting around on golf carts you would think one of them would check basic things like soap and towels. We won't be back. Hope the telephone call was worth it. read more

Do yourself a favor and just leave a little earlier. What a dump, lower quality than I have ever experienced and I have stayed in some shabby places. Bed linens were gross and seemingly from 70s bed was cheap, towels we're heavily stained and unusable. No phone or other basic services. Had requested a discount from management because of towel situation alone-has now been two days with no response. read more

Love the atmosphere and shopping for odds and ends. This review is based on the food we had at breakfast. Ordered Jacks' Breakfast. Everything was terrible. From the tasteless dry eggs, horrid potatoes, and odd tasting biscuit---I won't eat here again. read more

Very nice rv camp ground with cabins and rooms to rent. All the amenities- laundry, bathrooms and showers! well stocked store with grocery, gifts and rv supplies. Friday/Saturday BBQ - very friendly and helpful staff. Clean! Recommended to make early reservations- we were told it's very busy in the summertime. It was quiet during our stay in April. read more

We were a bit concerned seeing we are not from AZ, however we have been up North several times, we ( my husband and I) had heard of Happy Jacks from good friends of ours that use the RV park. I read each review of the Lodge and had read 2 reviews of bed bugs, which freaked me out. There were over 200 reviews. I assumed 2 out of 200 was not enough to keep us away. Our room was clean and comfortable. My problem was there is was not drawers anywhere. Let that be the biggest issue and it was!, the food was great, the people were kind, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely be back ,I would highly recommend Happy Jacks Lodge read more

very calm and a nice peaceful place if you want to get away from desert heat and loudness(depending on where you live) very nice neighbors if you have a camper/cabin i highly recommend this place read more

Two stars for the friendliness. I'm sorry but this place was nothing to write about. We were hoping for snow and tubing but there was none(totally not their fault I understand). But we also decided to eat. The food took forever and was not very good at all. The best thing were the French fries and the fireplaces. Save yourself some time and head to downtown flag. read more

2022, the restaurant hasn't been open when we have been there during business hours. The store is over priced and carries very little inventory. When you walk in there is a shrew who sits at a desk behind a pillar and ignores you and she's the only one there working. We've stored our RV there for years and every year there is an issue with their communication, accounting and service. They do not send out biannual statements. If you pay in advance be sure to call them and verify that your payment has been credited to your account as you will receive a call on a camping trip well after the due date that you have not paid and demand payment. Payment cannot be credit or debit, but check only. They will demand you send a copy of the check to them. Your bank will not be able to fax them a copy of the check as they do not have a fax. When they get the copy of the check they will not contact you to let you know they cleared up their error and your account is a zero balance. Staff are elderly and move slow and are not computer savvy. Your code to the RV gate will not often work as they will clear the system at least 4 times a year. read more

Store customer service is non existent. Restaurant is overpriced and food is eh! Beautiful piece of property in a great area and location but unfortunately owners are clueless and really only care about $ versus the customer experience. With right owner and mindset would be a gem. read more

Rented the elk cabin. Freshly remodeled. It was gorgeous. Great views to the water hole. The facility is great for those who want easy camping. Camper spots - some have water , septic and electrical. Some don't. Many occupant options for the cabins. The staff was friendly. Breakfast at the lodge was decent. Potatoes. Not a fan of but the rest of the food and portions were good. This place will make your trip a little more comfortable. read more

We wanted to check out Happy Jack to possibly spent a month in the mountains this coming summer. Needless to say this location is remote and far from other businesses. We entered the building and there was two ladies talking on the phones. Neither one acknowledged our presence, but we waited patiently for about ten minutes until one lady was finished and finally acknowledged us as if we were annoying her. After asking for information I asked where the restrooms were and was told they were not open to the public. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? You are miles from any other facility and you tell me there are no restrooms available. The lady was very unsympathetic to any of my concerns and unwilling to be helpful. Why would anyone want to stay in a place that has no customer service. read more

i will start the review off on a positive note. Had a great time at happy Jack, the spots are great, people camping are awesome.. we came with 4 different groups of people and we all had a great time. we were even in dry camping, a family member has an awesome year round spot so we decided to join him this weekend .. the staff was always friendly and great but my only complaint would be one employee an older man in a golf cart with a mustache . he not only was rude and arrogant to our family but to 2 other groups of us at different times, telling my dad he was going to evict him as soon as he pulled up in his golf cart, we were heading out in our rv and our family was in there truck and trailer behind us and he drove past us and said oh california , like no wonder we're stupid, and told us we were blocking people in and continued to argue with my husband who told him repeatedly the truck behind us was our family. he also yelled at my husband and said he should call the sheriff on us because my husband dropped me and my 6 year old daughter and 2 month old baby off in front of the store near the handicap sign . my husband was in our rzr just dropping us off. it was absolutely ridiculous and we don't appreciate being treated like idiots by one single man the entire time. we have spent years rving as well as riding and racing rzrs . we know how to conduct ourselves. we have a few other encounters by our family but we'll save that for another time. read more

Happy Jack Lodge & RV - RV Parks Near Me - Happy Jack, Arizona

I've been trying to call this place to make a reservation for the last 2 days (over 150 calls), I continuously get a busy signal time after time. The one time I spoke to somebody, she put me on hold for over an hour, before having to hang up. I also sent 2 emails asking for someone to call me and have yet to hear from them. They either have a phone/internet issue or terrible customer service. I've heard great things about this place, but my experience has been exactly the opposite thus far. read more

We went to the Happy Jack Lodge for snow sledding on Sunday Jan 2nd, 2022. The entrance was so badly covered with hard ice and snow, it scrapped the under carriage of my car so badly I now have to take it to the shop for damages. There was two massive pot holes just where your two front tires go and my entire car dropped and the bottom of it slammed into the ground. Really???? you can't plow the entrance to your business?? I call this being lazy. Once we determined where to buy the wrist bands for the sledding we exited and proceeded to walk towards the hill. There was a man outside the door who asked us abruptly did we pay the fee. We said yes we did, then he responded rudely show me you wrist bands... what????? really???? how rude. I am not a liar or trying to not pay a fee. I loved the area and the snow sledding but will not return due to the entrance is hazardous and damaging to your vehicle and the rude people who work there. read more

Where to start...Last spring, our adult children planned an Easter camping trip, and wanted us to be with them. As my husband and I are elderly, and I walk with a walker, we made reservations here, so that we could join them, during the day. A short time after the reservations were made, my oldest son, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the trip was canceled. When I telephoned and explained this to them, I was told there was no exceptions, NO REFUNDS, but they would give us a credit, for the amount we paid, for another time. I explained that we would never be up there to ever use the credit, but it didn't matter! Last month, my other son asked if they could use the credit, and we ended up in a huge hassle to get it arranged. Many calls to them were made, and we were promised each time that the paperwork we needed would be sent, but it took many e-mail and calls to finally get it done! Finally, we had paid for the nicer room, and my son said that they put them in what looked like, a trailer, that had been turned into a room. I never was in the room, but their insensitivity to our situation, to me, deserves this low rating! read more

This will be my third year at the lodge. They are very nice people. The amenities are decent. Campsites are well groomed and utilities are easily accessible. I am a seasonal visitor and will be back again. The only complaint, service at the restaurant is very slow. read more

If you like bad service and mediocre food, this is the place for you! We arrived and were ignored for about five minutes. No one else was waiting and tables were open. No excuse for this. We were seated and no on came to our table to offer water or take drink orders for ten minutes. Again, the place was not that busy. The waitress did not smile or greet us, but only asked what our order was. No hint of friendliness! The food finally arrived after we had been there at least 45 minutes. It was just okay. No one ever checked to see if our orders were right (they weren't). First and last time at this establishment. Too bad because we have a cabin in the area and could be frequent customers. read more

Never stayed there but I help a very large ranch down the road and we stop in to eat lunch, do laundry, and take showers and I have never had a bad experience yet. Would recommend stopping in some time for a beer or lunch and even better if you stink and people are tired of riding with ya take a shower and wash your close while your at it lol. read more

This place has the worst customer service ever. We booked a cabin over a month ago and couldn't go do to the fires and have been getting the run around on the refund for weeks now. Every time I call no one has any answers they all say the same thing the owner has to do it but nothing gets done. I never get to speak to the owner of course just leave another message for nothing to get done. read more

Last year we reserved a primitive RV spot for around $2000 for three months. We enjoyed the park with our friends, mostly. The service at the front desk is horrible. The point of sale system and their process for managing customers at the shop and RV lodge was horrible. The employees were mostly unhappy, grumpy individuals with the exception of one gentleman at the front desk. So, we inquired about the process for reserving a full hook-up site for this year. We then waited and followed the process exactly as they instructed. We never received a call back as they said we would. So by the time we got in touch with the desk (they are super busy at this time because of the way the system is set to work) they had already re-rented out all the good and decent spots. They left us two options, neither of which would fit our RV. We were disappointed. What made it worse is that when you could finally get through to the desk to ask "why?" the manager was unapologetic and acted like it was our problem. Horrible customer service. Then there was the restaurant. The servers at the restaurant were always very kind and professional. However, they were ALWAYS understaffed. And clearly the cooking operation was poorly managed as it almost always took an hour or so to get food. That is a poorly run restaurant. Who owns that problem? Who owns this place? Looking back, after speaking with several employees over those months, the company is clearly poorly led and managed. There is also a clear favoritism to employee and manager "friends" when it comes to service and reserving seasonal spots. Nearly feudalistic behavior that is borderline ridiculous. Fairness? Respect? Ha! Not even close. We decided that we will no longer give Happy Jack our business and have moved elsewhere for our summer getaways. In my business, we call this a complete lack of leadership and sound management. The owners of this facility are slowly losing their business and investment. It is sad to see because there is much potential in the location. Poor leadership leads to high turnover, which leads to poor customer service. The owners clearly do not take care of their employees. They should read some of Richard Branson's thoughts. Recommend avoiding this place at all costs until there is completely new ownership. read more

This is my first season at the Happy Jack RV resort. There are many complaints about the ATV crowd. This does not resonate with me. The campground is the launchpad for those who want to explore the wild in their ATV or hunt. It is filled with families that return year after year. The week days are quiet with lots of activity on the weekend. There are not organized activities like some urban rv resorts. Most families camp here long term and establish relationships that do not require group facilitation. I appreciate the country store with staples and the lodge that provides prepared food when I need it. Rock on Happy Jack. read more

Happy Jack Lodge & RV - The hat is made in Bangladesh and the shirt is made in Nicaragua. So much for USA Strong - RV Parks Near Me - Happy Jack, Arizona

We have been coming here for more than 7 years. Each year we see some improvement but mostly we were hoping for more. It hasn't come. I would imagine this is why they don't "participate in social media". Every time I thing it is getting better something g happens. JULIE, their front desk manager, doesn't really care about the customer. Was never rude, asked why we couldn't pay over the phone on a credit card to have a dump ahead of our stay, her response was that I was rude. Love this place but come on guys....stop being defensive and how about thinking maybe the customer. I wanted to pay for a service, with my card, you have on file to pay every single month without fail, and the response I have received over and over is that is the way it is. Dont really think the park wi care but shout out to sercy for your help and hey Terrance, check in with your business! read more

ZERO STARS!!!!! Stopped to grab a bite to eat. Probably around 10 people sitting either at the bar or in the dining area. My Brother-In-Law and I stood at the counter to order the few items offered on the menu. Told a few times that they would be with us shortly (two ladies working behind the counter). Finally after ten minutes of standing there we ordered a cheeseburger, fries, wings and an order of onion rings with one coke. Got the coke, sat down with a number to identify our table. After about 15 mins the lady who took our order informed us that they were out of onion rings. Ok, no biggie. After another 40 mins of waiting and noticing that other people had their food even after we ordered. We went up to the counter to find out what the heck was going on and the lady was like hmm not sure what happened with a slight giggle. We were not very happy so asked for our money back and she said sure but since you had the coke we will be charging you for that. I drank half of it due to starvation. I would run from these people after hearing other stories of ownership. This place sucks and will never go back. read more
