Quiet. Very nice toilets ( compostable ). Close enough to town to make a run in convenient, but far enough out to feel like you are in a bit of wilderness.

Site was exactly as described. Campground was well taken care of and not too busy considering it was a weekend. We were right next to the camp host however he never came over to our site to say hello or check our reservation. Campground is only about 5 miles west of Prescott so access to local business is easy. We would stay here again when in the area.

We only stayed 1 of our 8 nights. The sky was so beautiful.... The stars the moon... Just gorgeous. However... The day time was rough! No shade from the Arizona sun and it was 107 that 2nd day. Which inevitably is why we left.
