Love the view and so many things you can do directly from the campground - hike, mountain bike, dual sport, downtown.
Campfires okay (sometimes), clean bathrooms, quiet.

The Good...The campground itself is very nice. The sites are decently spaced, private, and lovely. The sounds of nature are all around. There are many trails around that can be accessed from the campground and the nearby area. Prescott has the beautiful lakes to visit, I preferred Goldwater. I enjoyed seeing birds that I don't see in my neck of the woods, there was also deer roaming around. The pit toilets are clean and well supplied. Anything you want is a few miles away if needed, cell service is super spotty.

The GREAT...Colleen!! She keeps things under control and makes her rounds , at all hours, to make sure everyone is enjoying their visit. She keeps things clean and she knows how to run a tight ship. You'll get a friendly violation if you deserve one!

Now to the not so good... This campground doesn't allow the option to modify your reservation. So, when Generator Jerry cranks up, you're stuck. Two other campgrounds that I have had the Rec.gov reservation did allow this option. One of the campgrounds had quiet hours starting at 8 PM, that's doable if you're stuck. This campground has the usual 10P to 6A quiet hours. Generators ruin a good time for those wanting to just listen to nature. I'll not be making a Rec.gov reservation again due to the fact that these campgrounds allow them.

Wow the campground host is a beast. (White Ford truck)She /he circles the campground about every 45 minutes and acts like we can't be trusted. At 10:05 pm the first night she /he drives by and yells out the window Generators off. We shut off immediately and she/he text one of our family members to tell her that our Generators were on and she need to make sure they were off. We all made separate reservations and for her to text a 3rd party is very unprofessional. I understand there are rules and we followed them the best we could but I will never return to The White Spar campground my space was 17 and yes I was an un happy camper and your host in the white Ford is a pain in the @ss

This is a beautiful campground, wide open with separation between spaces! The spaces are clean and tidy and clean bathrooms! The camp hosts Jeff & Kim and Colleen are awesome and were extremely helpful, friendly, kind and went out of their way to make sure that we were settled in!
We love this campground, the wildlife and the beautiful people that we have met! Thanks for having such amazing camp hosts that make it such a more enjoyable time!! We are regular campers now thanks to Jeff, Kim and Colleen!!🤙👍

The campground is clean. It was quiet around me. Beautiful trials all around. Great place to relax, spend time in town, hit the trails or lakes. One of my favorite places.

nice and peaceful spot. Neighbors next door were barely visible. Even with their generator on most of the time it was fine. I'm going back to this same spot with a guest!
