Really enjoyed our experience and our site. Bathrooms should be cleaner. It didn’t look like anybody worked them while we were there.

Beautiful dry camping (though water is available) smaller campground set in the pines just south of Prescott, AZ. Spots are spacious, and well spread apart from other campers. Most are with a paved pad of some sort, though not all are level, so you will need your leveling blocks and/or automatic levelers in many instances. Pit toilets kept clean, though could be better kept up with toilet supplies. Water is available, but 2 of the 3 of the pumps I tried were broken and the at the last one water would not come out, despite it leaking all over the ground nearby). The host was great - very helpful when we needed to change our spot at the last minute because of my error with choosing a spot to reserve when doing so online - I didn't match up the pictures with the site I chose - my fault. The CG is very close to Prescott - taking a right turn on the highway upon leaving the CG leads north into the city and takes you directly into the heart of downtown within 3--5 minutes. Great hiking and mountain biking trails right out of the campground.

Great camping site located close to mountain biking and hiking trails. Area was quiet and well kept. Would definitely recommend go back.

The campground is in an excellent location and was surprisingly quiet when we were there - of course it was mid-week, the wind was howling, it rained all night and snow was predicted for the next day, so we left. A herd of deer meandered through our camp in the morning and that was lovely.
I only have a couple complaints. It looked as though the firepit hadn't had the ashes cleaned out of it ever. And the outhouses were in need of some TLC (but there was TP, so yea!).
We're going back next week in better weather so I'll see if I want to upgrade my review after that.

Roomy campground amongst the trees, depending in the spot, can feel private. Close to town.

Nice campground. Close to the highway but not so close it’s annoying. Bathrooms are pit toilets but still clean and usable.

Good spot! Can hear some traffic from the highway but that's likely applicable to the entire campground, not just this site. This campsite is both close enough and far enough away from the restrooms.

Our spot got given away then the guy got in our face and we were the ones accused of being mean when we weren't, the guy kept going thru the campground the whole time flipping is off because the camp host had to talk lies and bad about us, but I'm going to report this to a higher up authority you don't treat certain people u only like a certain way, and your not allowed to take cash from certain people either and be mean to others and tell them it's online ONLY! It's all online for EVERYONE not for some! And you can't even camp at ponderosa cause everyone makes sure they live there so

Nice campsite and lots of trails to hike (although you’ll have to find your own maps). Restrooms were decent enough - not much ventilation though. Overall, a good place to camp and we’ll be back.
