We are thinking about going to Apache Flats for our first visit in mid-Jan. for about a month. Appears to be very popular and since you can stay for 90 days at a time are we going to have trouble getting in when we try and make a reservation 60 days prior to arrival?
If you time your reservation to the day you won't have any trouble getting into the park. If you wait a few days after the 60 day window you may not get in.

:evil: Make sure to call that 60 days prior they have a really tight bunch of regulars that come in Oct Nov and Dec for their 90 days and I wouldn't say they are quaranteed but it is really really a tight group. Best of luck also just heard from friends still there that they are raising their rate to either 420 or 460 a month. Haven't seen anything official yet.
Thanks for the feedback and we decided to have a back up plan in case we cannot get in. We experience this tight group scenario more and more as the campgrounds allow you to book for 90 days and more from first reservation. I believe more people with RV's are going full time due to the economy and they are just happy to have a place to stay, do not like the extended stays but understand them.
Yes, and our experience was that even if the site is open when you arrive, the camp host at this facility "reserves" the campsites for friends. This is frustrating. The FAMCAMP should not be reserved for buddies of the camp host. It is run like the camp host owns the campground, but it seems there is nothing that can be done about this.
The back up plan should be to stay at Agave Gulch in Tucson. They have a fair system for rotating campers into and out of the campsites.
