Need to have more first-come first-serve sites available FF.

Sites are easy to access, most have lots of shade, and spaced out. Ours, and a few others, weren't the most level and to the full extent of our leveling capabilities we were still slightly off (Site 7). Still, a great site that's easy to get to. Loved the hiking trails nearby for the kids, Goldwater Lake is nearby, and downtown Prescott weekends are great for the fam. [Pulled a 27' travel trailer, filled up at Blue Compass RV, 6850 AZ-69 with 24 hour fill and dump]

Unless you’re hard of hearing, the experience at White Spar Campground would be better if it weren’t adjacent to Highway 89. During the day and especially on weekends the traffic noise is loud. Motorcyclists love this route and they come roaring up the highway, many with music blaring. Not a pleasant experience.

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

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.
