Point of Rocks RV Campground

This is our first stay at Pointed Rocks RV Park and we will definitely be back. The campground is situated among beautiful rock outcroppings and it’s a short walk to Watson Lake. The campground is quiet and everyone is very friendly.

The check-in process was all done on-line and over the phone due to the pandemic requirements. We showed up at 1:00pm and our information was posted on the bulletin board with a map detailing the best way to the site. Ours site had trees on both sides with plenty of privacy and there was a pleasant breeze blowing most of our stay.

The only issue is that it’s easy to miss the campground if your coming in from the north on Hwy 89 because the driveway is a left turn just past a curve in the road. However, there’s a traffic circle a quarter mile down the road and the return was very easy.

The laundry was a great deal at $1.00 wash and $1.00 to dry. The staff I spoke with on the phone were very helpful and friendly. Thanks everyone for making this a great stay!

Planned a weekend stay here for local youth soccer tournament and plan to return very soon! Beautiful setting amongst the rocks, perfectly placed sites and very friendly staff. I really liked that they have a picture of every single spot on their website, very helpful especially with a big RV. We had a 25’ trailer in tow and our spot accommodated it very well. 15 minutes to the main town, 5 minutes to 89a. Hiking trails were great, saw they even had kayak rentals for Lake Watson. Can not comment on the bathrooms as we did not use them BUT they had trash drop locations in multiple spots which was convenient. Look forward to visiting again!

Site 65 backed up against the rocks. Nice greenery on each side for a bit of privacy. Super clean showers. Staff helpful with maps, directions to bike trails. The town of Prescott is amazing. Tons of antique shoping, restaurants. But the hiking and bike trails are a must. We rode the Pevine trail, than cut over to the King's trail. The rock formations are amazing!

This is one of our favorites now. It was our first time here and loved it. When first pulling in it didn’t look like much. Also depending on your site backing in may be tricky, we found others not following the map arrows and that would have made backing into our site easier.
Campsite was quiet and we didn’t see a lot of partying though we did see large group pull in the night before we left.
The hiking, or more like bouldering is amazing and so close to beautiful Watson Lake. No need to park at the lake and pay the fee, you literally can walk to it, it’s that close. We would definitely stay here again. We came in February.

Pro's- Conveniently located, close & walking distance to Watson and Willow Lake, laundry was clean $1/load, $1/dry, kaya/SUP rentals on site. Easy check-in system they thought of & crew cruised around on the grounds. Sites were wide enough and mostly level. Our sites were right next to trail that led to Watson Lake (very handy).

Good trail network and the lakes were worth seeing. We visited 4 lakes. At Goldwater Lake there is free parking Wednesday.

Con's- very dusty, sites crowded but lines of brush between you and neighbor, its VERY dark inside the park so it's best if you don't arrive after dark if your not familiar with the layout. No pet area and there was aggressive dogs that shouldn't have been allowed in the park.

There is road noise from the road outside of the park was noisy from idiots gunning their motorcycle or vehicle.

No swimming in the lakes in the area.... not happy about that!

The camp grounds were nice but very dusty. Arizona hasn't had much rain this year which doesn't help and makes the area a dust bowl. We loved the tree cover and the spaces, especially our second site (57). Arrival was easy; contact free. The bathrooms/showers down by the main entrance are awesome; resort quality.

Beware of site 49, there is a low hanging power line at the end of it and we were unable to get the dish up because of it.

Watson Lake, which beautiful, is a hot mess. You can't swim in it because of algae issues they are having and it smells horrible. We did rent a kayak for an hour but the water is so bad we cut the trip in half.

We were here during the height of Covid. It was wonderful to have a Scenic place to stay. Laundry was small for the size of the campground. We were moved around 4-5 times, which was ok but seemed unnecessary. The park is very nice with all the rocks and a few trails really close by. The negative for me was the dust. It’s all dirt and lots of cars kick up the dust a lot. We had our windows open as the weather was just right, but the dust was thick. Fills up on weekends.

A Must-See hidden gem of Arizona. The Granite Dells are amazing to see and hike around. The area is cooler than anywhere south - makes a great getaway for month of May at 5400ft.
This campground is conveniently located near Watson Lake - just a 1/4 mile or so to the boat ramp where you can rent a Kayak for the day at only $25 for one person.
The sites are spacious, especially the premium ones -well worth it.
Site 64 especially has a small cove next to it where you can set up chairs with friends with trees that shade the sun. It is also close to the trail head.

Sites and roads are dirt but fairly level. The hookups are very convenient. No troubles. Plenty of shade with trees and rocks all around.

Easy to get OTA Digital from CBS and ABC, but not so with NBC. Phone no problems with AT&T. WiFi is free but works sporadically.

Be careful of the wind if it gets to 20mph or so, as it creates a natural dust devil or funnel every few minutes that carry across into the site from the road and make for a very dusty RV. Hard to breathe with all the dirt in the air. Also, there are ants everywhere you go in this area unless you stay on top of the rocks themselves.
There's a shooting range nearby which sounds like firecrackers going off constantly throughout the day. Traffic from nearby roads and construction noises as well. Pick a site away from the bottom of their map which overlooks this.

Check out the trails at the far end of the upper campground as well as the two trail heads from each side of the ramp area. Fantastic scenery, especially around sunset!
