What Guests Are Saying

Alto Pit OHV Campground offers easy access to town, clean and spacious campsites, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favorable destination for campers. While some noise from the nearby road and music can be bothersome, many appreciate the overall peaceful atmosphere, especially during weekdays. A few visitors noted the lack of amenities like water and showers, and suggested the trails could benefit from being one-way for safety, but overall experiences remain positive with many eager to return.

When we got there on Saturday the place was closed due to the storm that happened I guess so we had to find somewhere else to go In Prescott luckily we found another campsite that was opened so we were able to go camping and have a good time And unfortunately I have called to get my money back and I still have not heard nothing about being refunded for something I was not able to use when I booked it
