Stayed here in September 2021. Weather in Prescott was mid 80s. Campground was comfortable with lots of trees in most sites. Sites were very clean and considering the topography, well laid out. Nice level designated pads the picnic bench/fire pit area and also many sites had smaller level pads for tents. There are some tent-only sites here by the way. Very quiet, we only saw/heard a hand full of other campers. There is a slight road noise at the lower numbered sites, but considering you're just 5-10 mins from downtown Prescott it's incredible location. Water spigots are located throughout campground however they do not have threads for a garden hose. Pit toilets were as clean as pit toilets can be. Lots of deer wandering through the campground at night. Will be back again!

Our first time camping and is was a great experience. Bathrooms were clean and neighbors were far enough away that noise wasn't an issue. Out spot was a little uneven so next time we'll try a different spot and the occasional hot rods racing down the nearby road is probably our only issue. Camp host came by to verify who we were and gave us very helpful advice. Will be back.

This campground is a beautiful place to camp. Close enough to town if you need something but not too close. The host was nice enough. My recommendation though is to go online and pick you site. There are not many open to first come first serve.

Amazing time. We saw deer at the campsite the first night. Finally able to enjoy a wood fire. Campsites are clean and have plenty of room between them. I have a longer camper and was still able to navigate my way through the campground with ease.

Generators are out of control at WS. This is one of our favorite places to camp but lately every time we go there are several sites with LOUD construction site-type generators that run from 6am - 10pm without pause. I understand the convenience of generators...I have one (a quiet type) and only run it mid-day for about an hour to recharge batteries. I would recommend that you review generator hours and shorten them considerably. If people want to watch TV, they should stay home.

This was a perfect spot not too far from town but tucked away. The hosts were so kind and helpful. There was decent cell phone reception. Bathrooms weren’t the cleanest but that’s kind of expected when there are only vault toilets. Paid more than advertised on the sign though so that was a little disappointing but it was a last minute reservation so that could be why. Will definitely be back
