White Spar Campground

Nice campground and hiking. However, there were many vacant sites that were not on the website, as well as some unadvertised FCFS sites. Y’all need to check that out and fix it.

Great little campground right outside of town. While we were there there was no camp host on duty (possibly traveling for the holiday) and the restrooms were VERY smelly!! We were there between Christmas and New Year’s.

Camping for beginers was not thrilled when I looked up and saw houses in the distance. We went for Christmas so it was very quiet otherwise we would have left.

No host to be found. People were coming in with no reservations. Disappointing.

Grounds were safe, clean and beautiful. Maybe 15 minutes from town. Easy drive. Will definitely be back.

My first choice was Granite Mountain but it was closed. What really irks me is that many if not most of the USFS and NPS campgrounds have gone to the recreation.gov reservation system. Despite being almost empty, I had to make a reservation on the spot begging the question of what happens if there is no internet or cell phone coverage. The reservation system really stinks. One now cannot check out the campground for favorable spots and to avoid being near unpleasant campers much less not knowing the campground unless one has been there previously. It disfavors people like me who do not travel on a schedule. Furthermore, one gets surcharged a $9 fee for each reservation. In my case, I could only make a reservation for only one night without driving around the campground while on the phone which was obviously impractical. I consequently moved on the next day because otherwise I would have had to make another reservation and move camp. The representative picked up quickly and was as helpful as he could. The campground hosts also were helpful as best they could. The outhouses were in disrepair with no way to look the doors. The hosts told me hat vagrants had been a problem. After four years of using a USFS campground in the South Forty Eight, this was a rude wake-up call. This is another sign of how our country has gone south. Even camping out has become industrial-strength and unpleasant.

Spaces are small, but that meant no giant rigs running generators all night! The campground is right outside of town.

Great campsite with good hiking

We had site 8 and it was perfect! Beautiful surroundings, it was distant from other sites and tons of space for our vehicles and equipment. Will definitely be coming back!

This is a great campground. Not many amenities but it's quiet and relaxing. Also close to town if you want to take a drive there. We got to see a couple deer, and a couple tarantulas. This is now a favorite of ours.
