Lost Dutchman State Park is a great campground with lots of hiking trails and beautiful landscaping. Our site was medium in size compared to some of the others, and relatively private. The generators in our loop ran all day and even past quiet hours.
Friends of ours were in site 48, which had a fantastic "yard" and view of the superstition mountains, next time I'd try and reserve that site or one near it.
I had trouble figuring out which sites had water and electric on the AZ state parks website, so here it is: 16-32, 41-58, 75-104

I arrived at this park at 4:00pm in high season with no reservations. Even their designated "Overflow Loop" was full! But they did not turn me away. Instead, they had me park in their "Overflow for the overflow" which was the Group Camp parking lot. Now granted, this was $20 a night for an asphalt parking lot with no hookups, but I had the entire area all to myself! It was so peaceful over there, I opted to stay put even when other sites opened up.
They have a new overflow loop (pictured) which just opened this past Thanksgiving. If I were to go back, I would try for this area. Although there are no hook-ups, the loop is brand new, the back of the loop has great views, and all sites are level. The new mountain bike trail and a spur to other trails runs right by the campground.
I used the showers over by the group area. Although they were clean, hot water was an issue during peak times. So shower very early or very late.
All hosts and volunteers were very helpful, and great hiking here!

We really liked this park. It is not far from Apache Junction, Mesa and the larger Phoenix area. And it is very close to the Superstition Mountains and the great views of Tonto National Forest.
The park is very well landscaped and meticulously maintained. As soon as a site is vacated, a camp host comes around in a golf cart with brooms and rakes on the back. The pavement is swept and the gravel raked, so the campsite is ready to receive the next camper. The rest rooms are cleaned once a day and on a busy day, that is not enough. We mostly used the shower and toilet in our trailer, but of the two occasions we did visit the facilities of the park, we once had a spotlessly clean rest room and once a very messy one.
We stayed in a brand new loop, which was not on most maps yet. Our first site was #89. This is a curved pull through site with electricity and city water. This site is very close to the next one - just a bit too close to our liking. We pulled in just far enough for our electricity cable and city water hose to reach their respective poles. That way our view did not include our next door neighbors - who were very nice, but we did not need to have their trailer in our view all the time. There was plenty of room to park our car in front of the trailer. On arrival, we were greeted with loud gunfire from somewhere out in the desert - Arizona has very loose regulations with regard to firearms. Fortunately it only lasted for about 0.5 hour. We heard gunfire once more during our stay. There was no road noise and the other campers were also very quiet.
All campsites are paved and most are nicely level, with a picnic table and fire pit on gravel. There are many bushes and small trees. Not enough for shade, but enough for some privacy and for a lot of small birds. Some sites are very close to each other, but most are well spaced. The distance from this new loop to the neares facilities is quite long. The management is developing a new building with rest rooms and showers between the new loop and the group campsite. This will be a great improvement for most campers, except for site #89, which is right next to the new access road that is going to lead to the new facilities.
We had first booked for only three nights. We liked it so much that we extended our stay, which meant that we had to move to another site. Since we had to dump anyway, this was not a problem. The second site was #103, which is a large back-in site in the same loop but with more privacy and an even nicer view.
The staff, the camp hosts and the other campers were very friendly. We highly recommend this park.
