This is a really nice campground. The sites are mainly spaced out far from each other, so you don't see much of your neighbors. There is a good amount of trees and bushes to help with shade and privacy. Thought had clearly been put into the established level campsite, picnic table, retaining walls of stones to reduce erosion. In our campsite we saw wild pigs, lizards, lots of birds, butterflies. There were some guests who were playing music at top volume in the site next to the camp host, and it went on for hours before they finally turned it down (I asked politely but they told me it wasn't quite hours yet). This experience isn't unique to this campground, but it was disappointing. The outhouse is a neat composting one and was kept clean during the four days we were in camp. There are several nice trails for hiking, and a bunch of trails for mountain bike riding, that leave right from camp, so it's very convenient. Short drive to the town of Prescott if you need to resupply.

I arrived early to my campsite and waited for my friend to arrive. We took a walk around the loop and felt that we were very safe, quiet, and loved the nature we were surrounded by. We were conveniently across from the restrooms and the drinking water pump, and think we saw two people use the restroom.
I was initially concerned, expecting a lot of foot traffic. However, there was none and there was even a small path that cut through the loop that no one used. It was very relaxing & quiet. Most definitely will return.

Very unimpressed with campground host. Never saw them leave their campground in three days I was there. Campground sign said it was full yet many sites were unreserved

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.
