Camp Hosts were wonderful. (Friendly and very helpful). The Campsites were clean and so was the restroom. We enjoyed our time at the
campground.

Potato patch campground is one of the best we’ve been to. Very quiet except for the occasional passing car on 89A. All
Campers were responsible and respectful, quiet and fun to be around. Bathrooms were very clean for being vault toilets.
Our camp space was perfect for our family. Absolutely will return soon!

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.
