If you’re looking to book an RV in Navajo County or the White Mountains of Arizona, you can’t do much better than Show Low Lake Campground. About two hours' drive from Flagstaff and three hours from Phoenix, it’s an excellent vacation destination for those wanting to escape the urban regions of the Grand Canyon State. At an elevation of 6,500 feet above sea level, Show Low has consistently lower temperatures compared to the rest of Arizona and even gets the occasional snowstorm.Show Low’s odd name is said to have come from a card game that took place in 1876. At the time, the area was just a large ranch with two co-owners, who felt that it wasn’t big enough for the two of them. To settle the dispute, the co-owners played a game of “Seven Up;” to get the ranch, the winner had to "show low," which he did with a deuce of clubs (now the name of the main street running through town).Show Low Lake Campground offers Lakeside campers electrical hookups at some sites, and there's a communal dump station should you need to empty the tanks on your RV rental. There are also showers, picnic tables, a playground, and a small convenience store that you can make use of if you don’t want to drive the five miles into Show Low.
