Beautiful forest, cool. We have a teardrop trailer and enjoyed an electric site for 4 days. Very peaceful. Nice host. Jerome is only 8 miles down the mountain. Hiking trails to places where you can see for miles.

The campground was in great condition, and the bathrooms were clean, which was fantastic! Debbie, the campground host did a great job and even took time out her morning to tell me about a plethora of other campgrounds that I may like also in Arizona. I've camped a lot of places, and I can say with confidence that Debbie's effort made my trip more enjoyable.

We reserved site #14 that indicated it would accommodate a 39 ft trailer. When we arrived, we were disappointed that the site angled the opposite direction necessary to be able to successfully back into the site. After most of an hour of trying, we found the camp host who told us that site #14 is impossible to back a trailer into. We ended up going to a different site where we were able to park our 30 ft trailer. The camp host was just AMAZING! She was so kind and helpful. The campground was just beautiful, clean & well cared for.

Potato patch was awesome, color came out and the cool weather was nice.
Only issue was I thought when it said shared water, it meant between sites and not just the outhouse area. My bad
