Campground is nice, however over the past couple of years, the maintenance and cleanliness of the park and facilities has significantly been overlooked and/or neglected. The restrooms (vault toilets) were full and had a terrible odor and needed emptied/cleaned. The grass was over grown in the campsites and all around the park. Forest service came in 1 day and used the weed eater (7AM); however it really just scratched the surface of what is required.

Love this campground. Been going here for about 6 years. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere (except for occasional traffic noise in some sites) but yet, it's less than 3 miles South of Whiskey Row and the Square.

We love to dry camp so this is in our wheelhouse. The trails are great, good for mountain biking and very close to Prescott, which is why we stayed at White Spar. The sites are spaced ok but is typical of old national forest campgrounds. You can expect them to not accommodate the largest of rigs. No dump station but there is potable water for containers at various locations within the campground in season.

This is one of the cleanest parks I have ever stayed in! Jeff actually scrubs picnic tables to remove bird dropping, food and drink residue, no surprises there. The camping area is well monitored as Coleen makes regulars rounds to ensure campers are in their correct locations and are respectful of others around them. I imagine a lot of their time is spent with straightening out reservation sites, as was our case.
This park is well maintained, clean and orderly. Should an issue occur someone is readily available to speak with. Most important, I felt very safe camping at White Spar. Thank you White Spar staff! -Carmen

This was our first time at White Spar so we just explored the campground and got to know the people we went with. We booked again for next month and should have updated activity information then.

A nice campground just outside of Prescott. Mostly level paved sites with table and firepit. No facilities other than pit toilets and water faucets. Less than ten minutes from downtown old Prescott, yet out in a mature forest. Close to the road, but light traffic at night. really enjoyed our two nights.
