Nice quiet area, clear vault toilets and nice hosts that you don't really know are there. Cell coverage isn't good, but that's a plus :)

All we can say is WOW!
Our site #1 was very private. We did get out 28' 5th wheel into the spot without much trouble. These sites are very spread out and the other campers there for our 6 nites were dead quiet (luck of the draw) so it was beyond relaxing. This campground is also very clean.
Our 5 year old Golden had a great time running around in the field next to our site and swimming in Granite Lake, just up the road.
We already booked another week there!

We love this campground. It is secluded, has great views and is close to great hiking. We hiked the Little Granite Mountain Loop one day and stayed at the campsite the next day to watch the partial eclipse.

Stayed in space 11 which was lovely. The tent pad is a little secluded and is up a small hill from the fire pit. Bathrooms were clean. Nice little trail which goes around the outside perimeter of the campground.

Great small campground in the pines. Sizable campsites. Pit toilets. Fresh drinking water. Lots of small wildlife species. Excellent hosts! Near town for cconvience. Now if only they would ban generators! And the foolish people with house sized RVs trying at all costs to stuff them into spots made for rigs half that size. I guess its entertainment anyway. LOL

Tent pad was freshly raked upon arrival. Site was clean. Site 001 has very large boulders that lend a sense of privacy. I live in Prescott and re-use site 001 over and over again.

Nice little camp ground in the forest. We enjoyed our 5 days and it was very quiet. We will go again for sure.

Great spot to camp. Our young family of 5 stayed at campsite 12 and loved it. The kids enjoyed climbing the rocks, clean bathrooms and space to roam. We would stay here again.

Beautiful campground. Lots of trails to hike. I love that there are trails for all from easy to difficult. I also love that cell signal coverage is good and it is so close to shopping and conveniences while being so secluded. My new favorite campground!
