Yavapai Campground

This was a nice, clean campground. Bathrooms were also clean and had 2 different ones throughout the campground. I also appreciated the pump they had for fresh water. I will say the sites were way too close together for my liking, felt more like a commune than an independent camping situation. Also, there was someone in my assigned spot when I went, so luckily the host was responsive and able to tell them to leave after they returned (they were gone for an hour when we got there, so we just had to sit around and wait for them to return). There were definitely more private lots, but if you were in the middle (I was in 10), there was a lot more activity and proximity to others. Ultimately I would go back here, but probably choose a less busy weekend and choose one of the outer lots.

Awesome stay! The hostess was kind and helpful.She came right out to help me find my spot (after normal hours) Her husband was just as kind and helpful. He gave me tips on the best way to get parked. Two of the best camp host I’ve ever met.On top of that,they are volunteer hosts who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.The best part was when I went to ask them something , I heard beautiful music (violin and guitar) coming from their campsite.I thought it was their stereo until I got closer and saw that it was them.They even invited me to stay and listen.Unfortunately I had company and couldn’t stay,but I hope they are still there the next time I go.As a matter of fact they will be a major part of the reason I will go back. Best stay ever!

We love Yavapai Campground! The camp hosts are awesome, everything is neat and clean, plus the scenery is beyond measure!

The campground itself was okay. No natural shade from mid morning to late afternoon for my lot in August. Some trees around for a clothesline and hammock. Hiking nearby was beautiful with large boulders and large open plains, the parts away from the lot were nice. There is a lot nearby with high ground that overlooks you.

The use of speakers at the campground were a problem during my visit throughout the morning through evening. The camp attendant was understanding and there were times of peace only to be spurred up again by another arrival bringing their speaker. Ended up leaving after the first night due to so much city noise til 10pm.

Very happy with the camp ground clean and beautiful

Beautiful campground with incredible hosts! Definitely will return

Nice campground, well-kept and clean. Composting toilets were some of the cleanest I’ve seen. We were in Site 9, which is a handicapped site with an electric hookup. As the description indicates, it has 50A electric, but no 30A, so bring an adapter if needed. No water hookup at site 9, but spigots are available near the toilet buildings. Some sites are well-shaded by ponderosa and juniper trees. The small campground loop is great for walking, and trails into the forest leave from the campground. We hiked the Granite Mountain Trail, 12 miles round-trip from the campground. It was strenuous for miles 4-8, but offered incredible views from the top.

The camp hosts Mark and Judy were both totally awesome. I had some really good conversations with them and feel like I made new friends. The campground is well taken care of and honestly, the restrooms were extremely nice. I can't wait to go back.

We were camping with our kids, trying to enjoy a peaceful weekend in nature, but instead were woken up at 3 AM by the camp host yelling at the top of their lungs for everyone to “shut the f*** up.” It was so loud and sudden that it scared me awake and terrified my children. Completely unprofessional and totally inappropriate behavior, especially from someone in a position of authority. I understand managing noise can be tough, but there are far better ways to handle it than screaming profanities across the campground in the middle of the night.

We won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially families with kids.

My family and I stayed at site 1 and enjoyed our stay. Things to keep in mind, the site is long and narrow. If your are filling air mattresses for example, you may need to make sure you have a long extension cord, our 25 ft. one was not long enough to go from the car to the tent pad area. We also had a large netted Coleman gazebo, which did fit, but would block our way to the tent. All lessons all learned! The site had a beautiful view of the mountain. My husband and I enjoyed watching a bat fly around at dusk catching bugs. Really quite and peaceful. Bathrooms were kept really clean and it was nice having access to water.
