We had a very good experience at the campground. The only issue we had was that the closest bathrooms to us were out of order so we had to walk to the next closest bathrooms which became out of order on the 2nd day we were there. So we had to walk even further. Other than that we had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. The campsite in G loop was a very nice layout. The trails to the lake were close and easy to access. There are no hookups. We stayed at site 30. There was decent sun exposure for our solar system - we were able to collect 200-300 watts of solar power input from my (6) 100 watt panels. The only drawbacks were that site G30 is right next to a "camp host" sign. Since the host site isn't visible due to being down a long road, other campers assume site G30 is the host. I moved the sign a little to help other campers realize this difference, and the host moved the sign back to being by our site... So in 2 days we had 6 people come up to our trailer to ask for help. A few were rude towards us when I told them we weren't the hosts, and they argued that the sign said we were the host. The other thing is that I didn't like the constant mild noise from the main road in front of the campground throughout the day that echoed into the campsite. Overall, I'll be back next season but I'll book a different sight to avoid the interruptions from fellow campers.

May want to check generator requirements for your RV before going. We were told ours was too loud, though we only had it on during listed acceptable hours.

Great campsites, well maintained and fully paved. Great views of the lake, trees, and the night sky. Quiet, despite being close to other campsites. There is plenty of space to roam around and a nice paved walk around the lake is a great start or end to the day.

It would be very nice if they could get all the restrooms working. Also, I believe their water is contaminated; It tasted very chemical-like. Otherwise, a very nice campground!

Excellent camping ground. Very close proximity to Prescott Valley and down town Prescott. The lake was beautiful. We were given parking passes for parking at the lake since we had a campsite. We were greeting by staff and provided a map of the trails and provided answers to our questions. This site was the closest to the restrooms and water. It’s was very clean and we felt safe and enjoyed our two night stay. We aren’t the best at outdoor camping, we would definitely recommend if you are new to camping. We would also stay again and recommend to friends and family.
