We will definitely be back! ! Clean restroom and friendly host. It stormed on and off all weekend, and still had a great experience.

A great campground. Quiet and relaxing. No cell service so if that’s needed you will have to drive into Jerome or Prescott to get service.

We absolutely love potato patch campground & the hosts are amazing. But .....
We always camp in site 17, right next to the restroom. The contractor being used to clean the restrooms is doing a sub-standard job. We watched him first fill the toilet paper holders, then he took a wad of paper towels & a squirt bottle into the womens side, then using the SAME now used wad of paper towels went into the mens. Came out, thru the paper towels away and left. No cleaning of floors - the womens toilet seat was left with feces on it. What a shame as the prior contractor for the 2020 season did a very professional job.

Great location! The cool summer temps tires were amazing! Make sure you look at the lot size before you pick a spot in case you have a large tent. Spots are pretty spaced out and it was great being so close to Jerome!
