This campground is clean and located in the forest. It was kept very clean. There is water and composting toilets. I would say the only downside to this campground is the tent camping loop is in close proximity to main road so you get the car traffic noise. We stayed at site A14 which is very spacious compared to some of the other sites.

Mother/Daughter camping trip. Easy to find and perfect location to visit Jerome, Cottonwood (Old Town) and Prescott. Camp hosts were delightful and informative. Clean bathrooms and clearly designated camp spots. They are somewhat close to each other so not a lot of privacy but good security. I would also say its a little close to the highway if you're looking for more of a desolate camp site, this may not be for you.

The host was pleasant and helpful the site is clean and well maintained. My only regret is that for the trailers side your right in top of each other would be nice to have more room and foliage in between sites, other than that a great place to camp.

Very nice campground. Only 2 hours from the valley. We went in October-a little chilly at night. Would be awesome in July when getting away from the valley heat. Camp sites at the end of the loop close to 89A, so get a little road noise (although we same an exotic sports car road rally coming from Jerome-not something you see everyday). Restrooms very clean-no smell!! Looking forward to tying it again in the summer.

Small campground but privacy maintained. Virtually 360 degree view of night sky. Campsite paved with asphalt and wider than most. Clean composting toilets. Much easier to access from Prescott than Jerome and best to arrive before dark as minimal lighting in use.

From Prescott, take U.S. Highway 89 north past Granite Dells, turn right on Hwy 89A and travel approximately 20 miles to the top of Mingus Mountain on steep, mountainous grade. Potato Patch Campground entrance will be to your left (across from the Summit Picnic Area) on Forest Road 106.
From the Verde Ranger Station in Camp Verde, travel approximately 20 miles northwest on Hwy 260 (toward Cottonwood). Turn left on Hwy 89A. Stay on Hwy 89A (watch for a second left turn), then follow the paved and winding mountain road through the town of Jerome and up to the summit on Mingus Mountain. This road is steep with tight hairpin turns and few pull-offs in Jerome or on the roadway. The turn-off to Potato Patch is on the right, across from the Summit Picnic Area.
