This campground is just big enough for 22 sites, and they are all placed carefully so that each site has privacy via boulders and trees.
Yavapai is up in the hills below Granite Mountain, and it's quiet, the night sky is filled with stars, and during the day, there are great views looking out to the lower lands surrounding Prescott; the campground seems far away from the town, but is actually only a few minutes drive to get there, In case you need supplies, or are suddenly craving a pizza.
The only recommendation I have is to make a big, colorful map of local hiking trails and post it on a board at each of the 2 bathroom and water pump sites.

The Bathrooms here are clean and well supplied. The sites are kept clean as well. It is quite and shady. Best to come up at the start or end of the season. It can get very warm during the summer.

What a great campground! A real hidden gem. Beautiful sites, well maintained and quiet and peaceful - really has the feel of being away despite being so close to Prescott. Great view of the night sky! We will be back!

This was my 4th time staying at this campground. It is one of my favorites in Arizona. Beautiful views, clean sites and bathrooms. Itβs close to town, and the trails are not too difficult.
