The area is nice but there was a camping group nearby blasting their music and talking loudly well past quiet hours.

A nice and quiet location. Campsites are relatively close to each other. The toilets were very clean. If you can get by without electricity, the first come first served campground over by Mingus Lake seems a better location with regards to spacing of the campsites and potential views and shade. The non-electric potato patch area also has better shade but is closer to the highway noise.

We spent 10 days in the "b" loop that had electric hook up. We came up to get put of the heat in the lower elevations. The campground is very peaceful and the camp host Debby was amazing. They have vault composting toilets that were always very clean. While we were there they came and tested the potable water so that was nice to know that it was safe. If you're pulling a camper I suggest you come up from Prescott and not Jerome due to the tight switch backs.

Awesome campground. #2 is a great site. The host was helpful and friendly. We watched a family of Cooper Hawks-mama teaching three fledglings how to hunt all four days we were there. Nice spot.

It’s just meh. The spots are too close to each other. You’re much too close to the main road and can hear cars and motorcycles all night. The bugs were out of control. And site 4 sits directly behind the bathroom, it’s disgusting and the scent wafts through all day. Really poorly designed and thought out. Camp host was super nice tho.
