Close to shopping and dining in Jerome. The camp host was friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Campsites are well spaced out so you have privacy.

What a wonderful place to camp. We had an electrical site with easy access, clean and level, and very large. We will be returning.

Public areas were very clean. The grounds were beautiful. Jerome is 30 mins away and was great to enjoy the town and come right back to the camp grounds. We also went to Mortimer Farms for the fall festival. Sedona is also very close so it's a great location to be in the Prescott Valley.
