I organized a large gathering here over several days and the facilities could not have been better.
The campground hosts were gracious and easy to work with, accommodating our every need as they arose.
I look forward to holding another event here in 2026.
Cheers,

I enjoyed the peaceful space and high desert views. Sunrises were lovely and the weather in mid-October was great, neither too hot in the day or cold at night. It was conveniently close to the town of Prescott without seeming so. I had the opportunity to do a couple hours of hiking and enjoyed the trails right off the campgrounds. There were more options in that regard if i'd had more time for hiking. I would be happy to visit again.

During the two nights mid-week that we camped here it was very quiet. We were the only ones tent camping, and several sites were empty both nights. The sites are spacious and there is a lot of space between them so they felt very private. This campground is close to an excellent mountain bike trail system, and not far from downtown, although we felt like we were in a remote location. I have camped here many times before and it is always a pleasant stay. Compost toilets were clean as well.

- A campsite must have at least one person present the first night and equipment cannot be left unattended for more than 24 hours.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
