We made a reservation several weeks prior to our stay. When we reserved, the website allowed us to pay and reserve the first night. The website informed us, the second night was not reservable, but would be first come first served only. When we attempted to pay the second night through campground host, we were told, the site was already taken and was reserved through the website. We were told there has been website issues for a very long time and the “first come first served” status was an error through the website. We had planned our trip weeks in advance and were misled, and our family trip was disrupted due to website issues and we had to be told to leave due to website error. Now, I receive a review survey! This is appalling, to say the least. No one care less, we were told to leave our campsite due to website error, it’s a problem which has been taking place for quite some time and won’t be fixed, even though families travel distances to camp in the facility.

Beautiful site, in a great spot close to Prescott and Jerome. Our daughter enjoyed her bike rides around the loops. We enjoyed the pines and cool breeze.

The hosts Do Not enforce park rules. The camp fires are left unattended by campers. The dogs are NOT on leashes and the Hosts are NOT VACCINATED so they should social distance and where masks. In all…..our stay was NOT pleasant for our us. We plan to find other rv parks to stay at in the future.

Campground was very well maintained!! Camping spots were far enough away from each other that you felt you had privacy from your neighbors. Want to go back soon

Nice campground. Vault toilet was compost so the smell and fly's were non existent. Sites are small for outdoor entertaining very similar to a koa site. Campground hosts were very nice and helpful. We stayed in B-04 with a 30ft 5th wheel and will stay here again.

We went up to Potato Patch for an overnight, and stayed in the tent loop. We had a nice large site, but we were pretty close to neighbors. Bathrooms were clean, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. There is an RV loop but we didn't drive through. We saw antelope in the grassland and deer on top of Mingus Mountain. It's a beautiful drive, and we would camp here again.

Site #19 was a very nice site kinda secluded on the outer perimeter towards the end. Our site was very clean but other sites were left a mess and not cleaned. We’ll always go back in the cool times of the year. The month of May is perfect weather conditions and the mountains block the southern winds.
