Great little campsite. The hosts were on top of it…very clean/well kept. They were also very nice folks. Would be nice to have availability of water for rv tank but otherwise great. We will happily return.

The campground hosts are unreasonable tyrants that impose ridiculous rules just because they think they have authority over others. They also claim that asking questions is equitable to being 'rude'.

We stay at potato patch at least 2-3 trips per year for the last 4-5 years. We love the camp! It’s very clean and a beautiful quiet area with the really nice trail close by with views of Sedona.

We were in the RV area. Overall clan and quiet. The visit was fine but, the area is small and the spaces are very close together. The fire pit from the camp sight next to us was right under our window and smoke kept blowing in and we had to smell cigarette smoke from our neighbor the whole time we were there.
Probably won’t book the rv site again.

We had a fantastic stay at Potato Patch Campground! Nestled in the Prescott National Forest, it’s quiet, clean, and surrounded by beautiful pines. The camp hosts were friendly, and nearby trails like Woodchute offered stunning views. Whether you're tenting or RVing, it’s a perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

This is a great spot! Will definitely be back here. But be warned, there is another place named potato patch about an hour away. Waze sent me there by mistake, the 2 are roughly the same mileage from Las Vegas so it was an easy mistake.
