We always have a great time at Potato Patch. We have been up 3 times this summer for a couple of nights as
we live only about 25 mi away north of Prescott.
We really enjoy Ken and his wife as caretakers. They keep busy most all of the time. The grounds are
very clean and the toilets are kept extremely clean, even though the original concept is not working as
planned. There is Never an Odor!. Hoping you can keep this going like it is. We especially like the upper campground,
as we get older with our small RV. We have enjoyed being quiet (no TV) and all the places and hills to hike.Thanks,
Rich and Lois Longfield - Prescott

It was a very nice place to escape the heat about 2 hours from The Valley.

I love Potato Patch campground. The bathrooms were incredibly clean. I just wish they had water and sewer.

The campground is well run, clean, and quiet. Not an "in the woods" experience, but it's very laid back. Composting toilets are amazing! If you want a little more "woodsy" experience during the day, you can drive up to Mingus Mountain (about 2 mi across the road), or just go to the other "non-electric" unit behind the front "electric" unit where there are trails. Also, remember it is very close to Jerome for a fun day's outing with great shops and restaurants.
