This is a lovely, forest setting with miles of trails departing from inside the campground. It is directly adjacent to Hwy 89 so there is some road noise, particularly on the weekend. The host was very helpful and accommodating during our visit. We were unable to fit into our reserved site due to approach angle and overhanging trees. The host led us to an alternate site, which was still a little tricky because of trees, but we got into it. It was actually a better site because it was away from the highway. Our original site (#20) was next to the highway. The only downside to the new site (#24) was the power lines that hung above/ through it. The site had a nice, flat tent pad, picnic table and fire ring. Adjacent sites were 30-40 yards away. While there, we saw javelina and deer. In early February, there were only a handful of other campers in the park.
Another downside was drive-thru traffic. Normally, the main road through the campground connects with Hwy 89 at 2 ends - an entrance and exit, if you will. Currently, an area of the campground and the road is closed for the season. We had numerous, non-campers, drive past our site (#24) every day. The weekend was the worst.
There are several sites that can accommodate a large 5th wheel like ours but some of them are difficult to get to because of overhanging trees or approach angles. Site #6 is a wide open, easy to access, pull-thru site. It's near the entrance and vault toilets. Site #4 is also a huge pull- through, with trees but is directly above Hwy 89.
We would stay here again, during colder months, because there were few other campers in the park. We imagine it is much busier in the warmer months. Also, we saw reviews on other apps, stating homeless encampments were occurring in the first come, first served sites but did not see this ourselves.
Overall, this is a beautiful, quiet campground with hiking trails and wildlife. A great little getaway that is close to everything Prescott has to offer.

Sites were not very well cleaned up after upon arrival. There is no notice online stating the community water taps will be shut off. Water shortage led to me leaving a night early.

We had originally booked two nights but left after one as the toilet facility left a lot to be desired. On the other hand the sites themselves are quite nice although there was no electricity. That being said, it was an affordable accommodation. My wife pretty much freaked out when she saw Javelina's rooting around but I thought they were cool.

nice spacious camping spot. Sunny and easy access. Feels safe, as camp hosts make their presence known.

Campground itself was very cute! We did get to our campsite a later in the night but it was easy to locate. Wish our neighbors would have been nicer though!

We loved the campground. We went for 6 nights and could t have left happier. Every campsite is under a canopy of trees and has a fire ring with a picnic table. The trails connecting to the campground were amazing. So many incredible views. The campground itself was well maintained. We will for sure be back.
