Took the family out in March '22 to SB Cove and had a great time in our little pop-up camper. We got lucky and was able to grab a spot right on the water front. Bring a shovel to help level your campers. You don't need a 4x4 to get to this area and we saw some smaller cars as well. There was a little bit of wind but nothing outrages. We saw a few people catch a lot of fish! Just make sure you buy your Tonto pass before you head out here just in case the kiosk doesn't work and to save a couple of bucks. The 2 bathrooms here were really clean and had absolutely no smell when we used it. You can access the restrooms by hiking back up away from the water.

One of my fave places for over-night fishing. Sandy/gravel beaches, mostly shallow, good for paddle sports and swimming

Nice dispersed camping. You either need a Tonto Pass or you can pay when you get there. Kind of sandy so I went away from shoreline to reduce the risk of getting stuck. I had a nice area to myself. I stayed 4 days.
