Beautiful campground just opened.I regret to say it cause fire rings are a bit part of camping but, because of the extreme drought conditions all campfires should be prohibited. It's way too dry & 1 careless match will catch all the extremely dry brush into a kinder keg

I arrived on a Sunday. Went to use the restroom in my campground loop to find the toilets were DISGUSTING! There was poop spots all over both toilet seats and no toilet paper at all. There is a sign outside on the door that says the bathrooms are only cleaned 3 times per week. They should be cleaned at least once a day! Some campgrounds that I've camped at have upped it to twice a day with the COVID.
Other than the restroom problem, I had a great time. Nice campground, nice host (I think his name was Mike). Good little trail down to the lake where I caught some fish.

Love this campground, it's only 90 minutes away for me but cool enough to enjoy nature. I have been coming here for years. Campground is clean with a good layout. Also, the camp hosts are courteous, friendly and knowledgeable (even if a camper may or may not have had a situation trying to park). Will continue to go there for vacations!

Great tent sites, fire ring was close to surrounding underbrush, could not find any coin operated showers per website. Good location, short walk to lake! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Campground was clean and leveled. One night there was a visitor at space 26 that was very loud with playing music. Camp Host didn’t come to the space to quite down the group. But all and all had a good time.

Beautifully spaced out campground with trails for walking and nice bird life. Saw lots of blue heron and a bald eagle! Quiet setting yet close to Prescott and other attractions.

The campground was beautiful and very clean. We stayed at site D20. We were very close to the short trail that leads right to the lake. My husband and son saw a bald eagle while fishing early one morning. Make sure to go into Downtown Prescott and take a walk around the courtyard. It is a lovely community with wonderful people.
