Just returned from another visit to Lost Dutchman SP. The weather was gorgeous and though the park is full of snowbirds (always make reservations at least through the end of April), they have added a number of additional sites with more under construction.
The Arizona State Parks Service is doing their "Once every 5 year" surveys. Completing the 6 page, very detailed questionnaire gets you a free night of camping (my bride and I each did one making our weekend or the next one essentially free), and includes a shot at winning a new I Pad. It was nice to be able to have our input taken on what we liked/disliked etc., and what we would like to see for the future. After passing out the survey the Ranger just asked us to fill it out and hang it from the post at our site and they collected them the next day.
If you are going to be in the Apache junction area this SP is worth your time. Lots to see and do in the area and the amenities are outstanding. It is nice to live just 84 miles down the road as we visit several times a year. Oh well, we are off to Quartzite next week for the RV show and all of the attendant craziness. The temps were in the high 60's/low 70's and the nights cooled all the way down to 40. Just another brutal winter here in sunny Arizona. :B

Heck, I came all the way from New York to spend a week there in early December, but filled out the survey when I was at Buckskin Mountain & they didn't offer anything!

I did manage to get a neat night photo of the Superstitions:
