This place was amazing before they hacked up the brush. I understand clearing for fire prevention but this was crazy amount and they left every part of the shrubs sharp and sticking out of the ground about 6 inches. Multiple people in our family got injured by them.

Nice and clean campground. Beautiful surroundings and view of the Granite mountain. Clean and well maintained vault bathrooms. Nice pathway and driveway for strolls during the day or to enjoy the star-filled night sky. Would stay again.

What a delightful experience! Spacious, private sites with natural vegetation completely separating the sites. So dark and quiet at night, we really enjoyed the night sky. Concrete picnic tables and fire rings plus tent pads at (all?) sites. There are two buildings with composting toilets that are so much nicer than pits! It's only a short drive into Prescott where we explored the breweries :-)
There are no hookups, which we expected and loved. I could hear a generator (barely) in the way background but once we went indoors I couldn't hear it.
