The campground is great! Sadly, late September, there were a whole lot of hornets and our kids wouldnβt venture from the camper so we didnβt even stay. Lovely layout and infrastructure. This would be 5 stars if it werenβt for the hornets.

There is a terrible Wasp and Bee problem here. (9/2021) The water spigots and Bathrooms are swarmed with these insects. They also invaded our campsite within 24 hours and made it unbearable. I have no fear of bees or allergies, but itβs was insane the numbers flying around. Using the bathroom facilities means being enclosed in with many large Wasps flying around you also.

This was a lovely little campground very near Prescott. The views of Granite Mountain from camp were stunning. There is a small lake nearby for a picnic and fishing. just stayed one night but was very nice.

The campground is spacious, so your neighbors are not on top of you. The sites are set up with level pads for tents. Our only problem was that we had two people with tents and didn't realize that sites really are set up for just one tent. You have to get a "double site" if you want to set up two tents on a level pad. We managed to put the other tent in an acceptable spot on our site. So even though you can have up to 5 people in a single site, double check that you can fit two tents on your site if needed. Great hiking trails right from the campground. The composting toilets nearer to Sites 4 and 6 have almost no odor...nice. The other traditional pit toilets near site 15 smelled as usual for those types of toilets. We'd stay here again. Probably would select sites 1-5, 8-10.

Arrival & departure
- 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.
