Had a great experience with the circumstances we were dealt. We were pulling into the camp when my transmission in my truck decided to go, the camp host came and checked on us and helped tremendously. They allowed us to move to a different spot and were able to stay there all 3 nights and kept checking on us through out the weekend. Will definitely be going back

Our first night ever RVing. We arrived at dusk, and the campground hosts were very helpful. Beautiful pine forested environment, close enough to Prescott to visit and shop. Nearby is the old mining own of Jerome, worth a visit.
