Campground very clean. Grounds volunteer was very helpful. Lake was further away and trails not easily marked. Would return to this camp ground.

Clean campground with lots of things nearby and good space between sites. It doesn't feel like you're close to the city.

Always a delightful place to enjoy Prescott from. Sites are very well spaced and the lake trail is classic. This trip was not 100% for a couple factors. The bathroom closest to us was closed, causing a longer walk to a bathroom and said bathroom had mostly clogged toilet and a sign that said to "not flush tp" and to put it in the trash bag- this is kinda gross knowing that fecal remnants were just out in the open and I had to cross over those to toss my tp in the bag. Seems like a bad separation of poop and people- as a Pro Guide, we strive specifically to retain this barrier to prevent all kinds of gross stuff... 2nd item was there was no Host to be found to purchase firewood on both a Fri and Sat on a busy weekend. There may have been 1 in G loop, but the walk all the way to where they may be to sell me wood was honestly longer than I was willing to venture to then haul the wood back to my truck. We will be back and hoping for a slightly better experience.

Nice campground. Very Quiet. It's hard to believe your so close to Prescott. Beware of drive wave lengths. Even with hanging the back of our trailer 4' over the the end of the pad, we barely got our 21' trailer into a 30' site. The road end of the driveway was at a severe angle and I think they measured the driveway length from the long end.
Restrooms desperately need improvement. Their are only two with running water and one of those was closed and the other one had toilets that did not flush well. There were large bags in each stall for used toilet paper and I had to flush 4 times to get my fecal matter to go down the drain.

Loved this campsite!! Plenty of trees surrounding the campsite and a picnic table and campfire ring. Site was clean and well maintained. Close to bathroom and potable water so you don’t need to bring any for cleaning and cooking. Bathroom was spotless and the camp host Wendy was very nice and friendly. Would definitely stay at this site again. Only four campsites in this loop so not crowded even when all four sites were occupied.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. The site had a staircase that went down to a spacious picnic area. The only issue we had is that our site (G30) was next to a road that the camp host lived down. Their site wasn't visible from the head of the road, and they chose to put the sign next to our campsite, so everyone thought we were the camp hosts. In 2 days we had 6 fellow campers come into our campsite and knock on the door to ask for help. I moved the sign to the other side of the road so that it would be more obvious that the host lived down the road, and the host moved it back to being near our site. I guess it helps reduce traffic at the hosts site, but there were several frustrated people looking for the host, and a couple that wanted to argue with us that the sign said we were the hosts... other than that, the place is well kept and trails are easy to access.

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.
