Great spot, only negative was lots of ants when we arrived, they were not aggressive ants, we covered one of their holes with our tent, they left us alone and used a different entrance/exit to their anthill.

We are new to the area, having just moved from northern California to Prescott Valley last October. This was our first outing with our RV since our move. We had a very relaxing & enjoyable time at Yavapai Campground. The weather was perfect with a nice breeze. The camp hosts do a great job of keeping the campground clean. We definitely will be back.

A fantastic little campground. Each campsite has plenty of privacy from other campers, lots of shade and walking paths to explore. No hammock trees in this site, but a few of the other sites had hammocks setup. About 10 minute drive from local stores for supplies.
Only complaint would be the lack of camp-hosts. Nobody on duty the entire time we were there, found that kind of odd in the busy season.

Spectacular views, spacious Campground with decent privacy between sites, wonderful Campground hosts and super clean bathrooms (as opposed to WhiteSpar Campground across town, which were absolutely filthy). Really enjoyed a week here.

It was great. The hosts were very nice. Everything was clean. It had the cleanest compost bathroom I have ever seen and it didn’t smell. This place is great
