The new camp hosts showed up and in 2 days had this place in the best shape I've seen it in the past 10 years. The bathrooms are now clean and they even had them pumped out. These guys are super nice and well experienced, coming over from a nearby campground.

I was tent camping in site 4. Although more set up for an RV or trailer there was a large, level area for my tent. The campground is just outside the city of Prescott and right off the highway (89) and site 4 is very close to the highway. Because of the location there was traffic noise until later in the night. Other camp sites were more isolated from the road and noise would have been less of an issue. Nice camp hosts on site. Clean pit toilets. The hosts did not sell fire wood but they encouraged you to pick up downed wood (they had cleared brush last summer). There was excellent cell service including internet access through a cell hot spot. There was access to hiking trails directly from the campground. Overall although not a wilderness experience it was an enjoyable stay.

I really like this campground as it’s close to the Valley, but still far enough away to “get away” from the grind. I wish the campground had water though! Cell signal isn’t terrible, but wish that were a bit stronger as well. Its a busy campground and the hosts were very present and helpful.

The campground was full the week I was there yet the water was turned off. This was inconvenient. The toilets were sometimes dirtier and smellier than would seem reasonable. The layout of the campground is very nice with variety of site design and generous space between sites.

Site 26 is… well, tiny. It’s tent-only and has basically zero privacy — you’re about 10 ft from the next RV, so congratulations, you instantly make new “friends.” The RV next to us loved running its generator, so enjoy that soothing rrrrrrr all day/night.

Oh, and the high-voltage power lines right above the site? Perfect if you were missing that good old city vibe while camping.

No water after November 1st, but hey, at least the bathroom was fine. And to be fair, the host was actually helpful and friendly.

White Spar has awesome MTB trails that are accessible right from the campground. The campsites have a leveled area for the picnic table and fire ring.

Water was turned off. No chance of pipes freezing during my stay. Campground was full of campers who would have appreciated water availability. Restrooms could be less stinky. Overall campground is really nice with variety of campsite configurations and generous space between campsites.
