Camp ground was tidy, toilets clean a nice relaxing environment with friendly hosts.
It would be nice if there was a dump station on-site.
Overall a very enjoyable stay. We will return!

FANTASTIC! Beware if you have a larger trailer you may have a hard time getting it in your site [loop A]. Our trailer is 16' and we had 4' left over. The campground is really clean even the fire pit had been cleaned. Down the road a piece is the ghost town of Jerome , a nice place to walk around and visit the shops. Don't plan on an early visit because the town wakes up around 10:00. This town has very narrow streets and sharp turns, not friendly to larger trailers and motorhomes. For those of you with larger units you may want to consider coming from the Prescott / Prescott valley side. Loop B is for larger units , we stayed in loop A so we don't know much about loop B. We will be back!

This place is very peaceful and clean, i can leave without electricity but not without water. This campground offers water and clean restrooms, that is why i picked this place. We have camp at this place 4 times already and i have reservations for June already, that is how much we enjoy it.

Excellent Forest Service campground; one of the best. Good spacing between most sites with good length for RVs and trailers. New composting toilets were clean and odor-free. New, concrete picnic tables and good fire rings. Nice location in the pines.
