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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The campground was extremely nice for sites without water (although there are lots of spouts spread throughout for filling drinking water) or electric. Restrooms were well kept, sites were clean and ready. We are Mountain Bikers and were camping there to access trails on the Prescott Circle (have done that before) and were pleasantly surprised to find the completed Bean’s Peak Gravity Trails system right there at the parking lot. On the negative side though, we had Mountain Bike neighbors come Sunday afternoon with more vehicles than their site allowed, who kept driving around recklessly, blaring music, and generally disturbing the peace. We were wondering if it was going to continue and we would need to report it, but the camp host was very attentive and it ended up they were gone soon, not staying overnight. Maybe they just came to ride and have a campfire. PSA - Prescott is a very dry forested area, you will always need to be careful with fire. Enjoy!
