On a map this campsite looks very close to the city of Prescott and while it very close the campsite doesn't feel it. It was honestly a great location for me to camp at night and also enjoy the hiking trails and downtown of Prescott. Camp Host was nice.

It rained most of the time, but the weather can't be controlled. I absolutely loved the sound of all the frogs coming out after the rain. The thunder and lightning was actually fun. I camped around mid August. I did not see one mosquito. Lots of ants on my tent, but they aren't bothersome. The camp ground was pretty quiet this time around. Be sure to see photos when choosing your site. I didn't like 36 too much because the ground wasn't level enough for my tent. The pricing is worth it. I hated the toilets. So many flys in the toilet. All around, it was camping so I just had fun in general relaxing. The rain was a nice plus for me to listen to.

Everything was good, some of the vegetation. Needs to be trimmed back for access through the roads in our campsite. Number 27, we couldn't put a bonfire because the tree was hanging over the place where you would put if you're fire at. looks like some of the homeless people stay there. They're dropped off my vehicles, campsite across from 27, there must have been 6 cars there on the night we were there. It was hard to get through. I believe you're only allowed one at the most 2 cars.

Beautiful campground, easy to park, picnic table and fire ring were really nice! Clean campground, trails right there, tent pad perfect. I don’t prefer vault toilets but they were clean.

We stayed at site 15. Past reviews mentioned that it wasn't level, and I assumed it wouldn’t be a significant issue. However, it turned out to be a big deal! The site is a drive-through that has a steep sideways slant, making it quite challenging to level our trailer.
On a positive note, the campground was clean and well-kept. The pit toilets were, as expected, just pit toilets. There was some road noise, and a few campers ran their generators constantly, but that wasn't a major problem. The campground's proximity to town was convenient.
Overall, I liked the campground but wouldn't choose site 15 again because of the slant.

Site #8 is not good for large trailers. It has a steep incline to get to the site, the pad itself is at a 90° turn and made it impossible to get our 30' trailer in. Luckily we were able to get a different site. Just be warned if you have a larger camper. Looks great for tents.

My daughter's and I went to White spar campground and stayed at camp 36. We set up are tent on the lower level by the stone wall. We had a ten person rectangular tent and put the back of the tent facing the trees on the lower level. The right side of the tent slopes slightly. So we put our foldable beds with mattresses we got from amazon on the slop with the foot of the bed facing the road. We slept great. We also brought an octagon sunscreen with adjustable legs and put it over the fire pit. We truly enjoyed are time in the beautiful pines at White Spar.
