This is a beautiful campground located super conveniently to Prescott. The bathrooms were really clean. The site was great, and we heard owls and coyotes at night. The sites really vary in terms of size and tent space.

The camp hosts were extremely helpful, went out of our way and even worked to find us a way to stay another night despite the campground being full for Labor Day weekend. It was quiet, clean and in a great location! Loved our stay, we will be going back!

Site 006 is grossly misrepresented in photos on Recreation.gov. The photos show shade trees but there are NONE. It was blazing hot 97-100 degrees, unbearable. The location of the campground is great otherwise.

I am an avid camper, and outdoors-person. Campsite 39 was un-inhabitable. All of the campsites were pretty tight, and crammed together with barely having a pull-out for parking. There were two young forest rangers that were awesome! They were friendly and helped us with site 39. The bathroom was dirty when we got there with rude writing in dry erase marker in relation to keeping the toilet lid closed. None of the campsite signs had been updated with reservation information, and whether a site was available or not and dates. There was an older lady forest service ranger that drove around in a big diesel truck. She was quite rude. The loop she was staying on was completely closed, so I'm not sure why she was there. We were walking to survey the two sites we had reserved and she pulled up and yelled at us "you have multiple sites right?!". If she was aware of my reservation, she would have known. I like to talk to the rangers and get local info. such as closest trails, wildlife to watch for, and so on. I was unable to speak with this ranger at all. I used to be a Prescott local and had seen a news story about bear activity in the area. Camp host did not mention this.

Nice surroundings and hiking trails. Water was on. Nice young fella was camp host. Many of the sites are not level side to side so for the t.t. You will need to put leveling blocks under the wheels.
