The hookups are a blessing! We booked a regular spot with no electricity but when we got there we liked more the ones with hookups so we cancelled and rebooked in that moment!
We drove to Prescott and came back at night, beautiful views and nice stay.
The RVs neighbors were very nice and polite, the only thing that would do this the greatest experience is to have showers! then I would stay up to 2 weeks there!! Away from everything and close to everything at the same time :)

The campground is consistently clean and generally quiet, especially when school is in session. There is occasional road noise from the adjacent state highway, little used at night. Generally busier at the start and end of season, outside of the monsoon, than at the height of summer. Some sites have better privacy and separation than others. Miles and miles of empty forest surround the campground and the skies are pitch dark at night.

This is an excellent campground. Still close to Phoenix, and way cooler (temperature wise).
Campgrounds are spacious, and clean and well kept. Vaulted bathrooms are also well kept and clean.
We keep coming back. Well worth it!
