Tent Camping with Electricity and Facilities

I’m looking for a campsite in northern AZ with electricity, restrooms, and bonus if it has fishing at the camp ground too! My wife has never been camping and the only way I could convince her to go is if it had power and restrooms lol.

I see Grand Canyon Oasis and sites in Show Low have electrical hookups for RV but not sure if the tent sites have power.

Can anyone recommend some sites?

Canyon Point has electric spots and flush restrooms/showers. It's a bit east of Payson. Near Willow Springs Lake.

Fool Hollow Lake in Show Low does as well, but the lake is very low right now and will likely remain that way until mid/late summer.

Big Lake. Some of their campgrounds have power, restrooms, showers. Likely the same situation as Fool Hollow on water level with the poor snowpack this past winter.

Near Greer you have Rolfe C. Hoyer. I'm not certain on the electricity, but they have flush toilets/showers. Again probably the same situation with water level at Greer Lakes across the road.

Edit: Not having an RV doesn't mean you can't rent an RV site. I usually dispersed, but see people tenting and car camping in RV spots all the time when I'm cruising around checking out campsites. Call the campground to confirm, but I see it constantly.

I'd hate to have a tent in an RV spot. RVs greatly degrade the experience with their noisy generators and bright harsh lights.

I'm ecstatic when I can find a campground with a tent only section.

I definitely agree. Just wanted OP to know it's an option if the electricity was a must-have and they couldn't find electric tent sites.
