I was tent camping in site 4. Although more set up for an RV or trailer there was a large, level area for my tent. The campground is just outside the city of Prescott and right off the highway (89) and site 4 is very close to the highway. Because of the location there was traffic noise until later in the night. Other camp sites were more isolated from the road and noise would have been less of an issue. Nice camp hosts on site. Clean pit toilets. The hosts did not sell fire wood but they encouraged you to pick up downed wood (they had cleared brush last summer). There was excellent cell service including internet access through a cell hot spot. There was access to hiking trails directly from the campground. Overall although not a wilderness experience it was an enjoyable stay.

Manny and Sheila your host at this campground are probably the perfect host I’ve ever experienced at a forest service campground. The campground is clean. They are cheerful and welcoming. They make your stay complete. Hang onto these two. These are the best host I’ve met.

Nice campground but they need more first come, first served sites. My main gripe is with Recreation.gov. The $8 fee on a $14 camp site is a 57% surcharge. Additionally, if you are able to get a first come first served site, you can get a 50% discount if you have an America the Beautiful pass. This is not an option available on Recreation.gov. Why is this pass usable if you pay for the site in person but not on the website?

Very nice campground. A well marked trail system was accessible right from the campground. One of the trails went to Goldwater lake.

It was great, my spot was excellent. Only bad part was we couldn’t park 2 cars in that spot. Had to pay $5 a night extra to park in the day use lot. There was plenty of room but the host wouldn’t be agreeable at all.

Noisy generators ruin outdoor experience.

Grounds were clean, host was engaged and helpful, spaces a bit close but not too bad. Love that we could hike multiple trails right from the campground. Will definitely return.

No complaints, my visit was enjoyable. It's nice to be able to camp at a primitive campground that is well maintained.
Thanks,
