Have not fished the river since i was a kid and want to go back, where is this place you went!

I'm planning a camping/fishing trip for this summer and taking the family. Exactly where is this part of the river? Looking for a place where the kids can play in the water and hopefully get them on some fish..even if it's blue gills or catfish. Any suggestions? One requirement though is the wifey needs a hot shower...any suggestions for campsite along the river with easy access and kid friendly?

Cool report/pix Joe. I've never had the kayak in fresh water and never fished the river, but really enjoy these types of reports with pix as it makes me feel like I've been there. Thx

it looks like taylor lake in picacho state park to me. they do have shower's not sure if they are hot.

better plan on going soon I think its closing!

Yep it is taylor lake in picacho state park. No showers at the lake but hot showers at the main campground on the river. Supposedly they are closing in the summer because of budget cuts even though it is on a river and you really can't cut access to it.

We were out there a month or so ago, around the same time this post was put up last year. nice relaxing spot.

Funny the changes a year brings

I like the pictures of the rookie. Looks like she's ready to start pullin on some of those bass. Are the pictures from outpost?

walrus: We were at 4S beach with the little one, had the whole place to ourselves.

Note: no hot showers there, but plenty of river water

JoeBeck: Thanks for the info...hopefully I can get there before it's closed. Is there any other place similar to this that maybe open during the summer.

I like how your not on top of one another like other campsites I looked into.
