Review Summary
November 1, 2024 • Stayed at: 3, Loop: YAVAPAI CAMPGROUND
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.

Overall this is a great place to camp, clean, safe and quiet . Site 11 specifically has a bit more room with mature trees that provide good shade. There are some nice trails to hike or mountain bike.

Clean, quiet, safe to camp with only one site located across the driveway. Some fun and scenic trails to mountain bike or hike.

Still the nicest campground in Prescott! It's clean. Very quiet. Mainly sane guests. And the most friendly camp hosts!
They really pay attention to what's going on here. They clean the facilities often. And make sure to keep the place super tidy. Kudos!

very nice sites, however host was useless. They didn't even check my reservation, nor did they know about a natural history group we were meeting who had 4 sites. They wouldn't even check. Otherwise, nice quite campground

I stayed at site 20. It had a nice platform for a tent. It is advertised as an RV spot but very difficult to get one situated in there. Overall happy we got a good spot. Start your day early as quiet hours start at 10pm. The "Karen" next door to us went through the bushes to remind us to be quiet. We were settling up late but she didn't care. That was our only issue. The camp site was great.
