Beautiful campground, very clean! We had one night where one site was pretty loud until about 1am but that was the only night and the only negative. Easy yo get to from Phoenix and this will definitely be an annual spot.

Nicely wooded area for tent camping in the A loop. B loop is very open with little shade and is only for RVs. It was quite and very enjoyable to spend the night. We were here in june and it was about 55 at night so be sure to have a good sleeping bag, otherwise it’s cold.

When the fan is running in the vault toilet it's fine. When the fan isn't running..... Not good!

Camp sites are a little closer than I thought but very nice and well setup. Bathrooms are very well kept (Clean and smell good) There is water just not an option to fill the RV/Trailer. So no need to have to bring extra drinking water. Location is great too as there are hiking trails close by and a short drive to Jerome! Will for sure go back again!

Quiet campground. Very clean and well-maintained restrooms. Loop A 28 was a great spot.

Nice little getaway from the city. The campsites are very crammed together, but everyone was respectful with noise and keeping to themselves. Our specific site have plenty of shade trees, however we didn't have any close enough together for hammocks. Several other sites did have the option. Two bathrooms, both within walking distance.
Hosts weren't very active, only saw them walking their dogs once and that was it. Didn't have any firewood for sale, had to drive into Prescott Valley (20 min drive).

This site was really a perfect match it had the right amount of shade and sun. Very close to the bathroom. There were even trails that we did not know about and were fairly easy to hike. The only true neighbors you would have is across the drive to A21. Nice breeze as well in the mountains. Host was extremely friendly.

Had a very relaxing time. Had to chase the shade, but there was always shade somewhere on the site.
