Unfortunately, a family occupied our rented space upon our arrival. It took an hour for the family to pack their gear (tents already in place) and leave. There was a little pushback from the senior male of the group. After we assured him we had a reservation and could provide the reservation number, he begrudgingly departed. Not sure this can be avoided unless a check-in system is initiated with the volunteer on the property. All said, we will return to the campsite.

We enjoyed this campground. We had site 1 , it felt private. It was a small campground and was quiet.

We always have fun at Yavapai. Itβs beautiful with lots of trails to explore. It has clean bathrooms and campgrounds with plenty of space between each camp site. Only two sites have electricity hookup all else are dry camping.

Wonderful smaller campground. 21 sites. 3 are first come. The rest are by reservation. Friendly and helpful hosts who work to fill their position well. Patrolled by the forest service. Trash and personal water available. No filling RVs. 2 composting toilets. Lovely views of Granite mountain. Tall pines too. Clean and nicely quiet.

Very nice small campground with private sites, clean restrooms close to town. Wish it had more information on bulletin boards such as a local trail map for example.
