White Spar Campground

Info on Recreation.gov about sites is inaccurate and the host could be more polite.

Great campsites.

This is a good campground if you enjoy mtbiking and plan to ride the bean peaks trails. It’s also close to the town of Prescott. We stayed at site 7. The trees provide good shade and good viewing at night to see the stars. The issues we had with the site were the noise pollution from the highway, the bathrooms were smelly and don’t have sinks, and there are no bear boxes at any sites to keep food safe. Black bears do exist in this area.

The campground is lovely. The recreation.gov computer app works well, is intuitive, and gives you the information you need. The Android app, however, is terrible and completely useless. If you want to make a reservation or get information don't waste your time with the Android app Your only option is to use the computer app or you will be sorry. This is a chronic problem and not new. The host complained bitterly about how much extra work this made for him when people arrive after having tried to use the Android app.

The campground was quiet. Like others have said the outhouses were unbearable!. No shade in most of the campsites and bees were notorious. Even when there is no food around.

Our space was really slanted to the left for our RV. We were up on all five levelers on the left side to get in the bubble. Walking around, we noticed that many of the spaces are not level. It is difficult to choose a site from the internet and know ahead of time which ones are more level. Once we were in and settled, the campground is lovely. We had privacy, quiet, and a beautiful view from our campsite. The road noise is noticeable but not horrible. The proximity to town is awesome for popping in for lunch or dinner. The hiking in the area is very diverse and interesting.

Sites were great, spread out, and lots of shade. Hosts were very nice. Vault toilets a little stinkier than most. Did have some javelinas rummage through our site and night so be aware to keep your stuff packed away.

The campground was fine. The campground host were nice. My problem is with the online reservation system. I travel between Alaska, Montana, and Arizona every year. I don't have a carved in stone itinerary. In the Prescott weekend, I needed three nights at the campground but, your website would only allow for two. I figured the campground hosts could straighten this out. No, no, no. It was out of their hands. So, no I do not like online only recreation.gov system.

The RV space was very adequate for our overnight stay although backing a trailer around boulders is never easy. Also, there were cigarette butts on the ground in our space so the space had not been cleaned before our arrival; never saw the camp host come around.

Awesome camping area. Wish it had a dump site though.
