Not a great campground if you're interested in a tent camping, nature getaway. You'll go to sleep with sounds of TVs in neighboring RVs and wake up to the rumbling of their engines.

1>. Trees were too tall, marsh mellows were too hot, birds too loud, deer ate all the grass, coyotes howled too quiet, too many trails to hike, the children laughing was so annoying, and certainly too much nature for us. So we had to knit in my lawn chair the whole time.

2>. Best campground in the Prescott Area hands down! Plenty of space in sites, even for bigger trailers. Restrooms were clean, sites were kept, and the volunteers were professional. We are a new full timing family of 5. So yes, we have our house with us. The emergency generator was needed unfortunately. I was surprised how little noise it made and there were a few other campers who remarked about how quiet it ran. I use a CPAP for sleep and our off-grid battery situation was not functioning. The staff were more than accommodating in this regard.

If coming from the I17, it's not easy to navigate through Prescott to the campground. It's a nice campground, well maintained, but noisy from the street traffic. While we had a pull through site, the picnic table and fire pit were steps away and we could not use the awning on the camper or set up for cooking near the camper as the pull-through was too narrow. We were in site #14. The personnel that greeted us were very nice and very helpful. We just didn't like all the traffic noise.
