We paid for three nights at a first come first serve site (24). The campground is clean & beautiful with nice facilities. First night was great. Second day we left our table, two chairs & tarp out while we hiked. Came back to chairs & tarp missing. Table was partly taken down, but it complicated so the thieves gave up. Kid you not; a meth pipe was left near the table. Next day we left for the day to come back to a tent city set up in our site. Our proof of payment was removed & new peoples in place. The couple were high & refused to leave. Camp host was sorry, said # 8 was only left. Had to pay again.Turns out local church is dropping off homeless at this campground because it is close to Prescott.

LazyG Brewery food, beer, & service was excellent!! We went two nights in a row. That said, the pit toilets desperately need to be updated. Not very clean & smelled foul for this time of year (Nov.). The water was turned off and a couple of loops were closed.

Great campground. Very Clean. Sites are level, tent pads and parking pads are level. Camp hosts are helpful and pleasant. The trees are great and hiking trails around campground make for a great family hike. Little bit of road noise.

Despite heatwave in the area very comfortable temperatures. Nice shady spot with the occasional gentle breeze kept cool. Nice flat site only minimal leveling needed. T-mobile fluctuating between one or two bars with download speed of 13 Mbps. Great hiking and biking trails and is drone friendly.

New campground hosts are great, no worries there. Mountain bike trails right out of park. Trails have long, mostly smooth, flowing ups and downs. Techy stuff is across town. The ponderosa pines smell nice. No hookups but Affinity RV has a pretty good setup across town. Lots of good restaurants in town. Good ice cream too!

We loved this spot! Quite the find so close to the cute town of Prescott. I like campsites where you can have space from others and it feels like the wilderness. All sites were nicely landscaped with space from others in a lovely forest setting. Each site had its own fire pit & grill and table. There were nice walks through the forest. Pit toilets, ok but not great AT&T reception. Will definitely go again! And the lake in Prescott is amazing with stunning rocks, that is worth an explore.
The only negatives - people camping with loud generators that they run all day and night. I have lived off-the-grid most of my life and I have no idea why anyone needs to run a generator constantly. I could power a whole house & appliances with only a few hours a day. If you have to have a generator camping, spend the money and get a Honda 2200, they are super quiet and portable. So have a listen when you get there, just in case there is an industrial camper behind the next tree!
The only other bummer was when the forest service guy turned up in the morning. He appeared friendly but was looking for something to vent his authority on. We are excellent campers so I was not concerned but then he suddenly got testy and rudely told me not to burn the small pile of paper scraps we had in the fire pit as that meant extra work for him moving the ash. He then stalked off. Huh?!?! Yeah, it was weird. We were pretty annoyed. Young gov workers on awesome paychecks with great benefits bothering other hardworking taxpayers on their brief vacations off with stupid demands. The gov really can't mind it's own business can it? Even when you are not doing anything wrong...
But anyway, idiots aside, it is a great spot, with that feel good wilderness vibe. Loved it!

If your a big rig take one of the first few sites. Its pretty tight through the rest of the campground. Not much traffic or many other campers when we stayed in January. Not to far from down town and right next to mountain bike and hiking trails.
Verizon coverage was poor

This is nice campground close to Prescott. Sites are a bit close together, and some don’t really have any privacy from neighbors. Pit toilets throughout, drinking water available in season at pumps scattered throughout campground. The majority of the campground is closed after Nov. 1, and no water is available after that date. Great hiking and biking trails through Prescott NF. Saw javelina, tarantulas, coyote, multiple species of birds and woodpeckers. Strategically located nice basic campground for $7 with interagency pass, $14 without. No hookups, 2 bars AT&T without booster. Bathrooms often overflowing with TP, garbage scattered all over during busy weekends/holidays. People often hike with dogs off lead and a lot of dog poop noted in campground and along trails. A little bit of road noise from 89A, which dies down at night.
The problem here is the camp host who has literally harassed me every time I’ve stayed here. She knocked on my door at 9am on a Sunday to tell me I had to be out by noon. Every single time I’ve stayed (camped here off and on winter 2019 and 2020), she has intimated that I’m past my 14 day limit, and “Weren’t you just here?” First, I’m literate and can read the signs, rules and regulations. Second, don’t come knocking on my door at 9am to tell me I need to be out by noon! She seems to really focus on camper-van and truck campers, because others I’ve talked to have the same complaints. They really need to find a more hospitable host.

Loved this park for the night. Great spot in #18. Pull through and level. Quiet and friendly. Camp host present keeping the sites clean. Restrooms depending on the time of year. Water access but no sites with any hookups. Boondocking. Close to grocery store and some shops. Hiking at the entry. Would stay again. Ok cell coverage.

We've camped here MANY times over the last 5-8 years. It's a very convenient location minutes from downtown Prescott with access to hiking and mountain biking trails directly from camp. This CG went on the reservation system in 2019 and while it's sometimes harder to book a site, it has changed for the better. There are now hosts onsite and the CG is always clean. No hookups or dumpstation available, but there is potable water and vault restrooms. Half of the campground has been updated at some point with asphalt drives, tent pads, fire circles and picnic tables while the other half is more rustic. All sites have beautiful Ponderosa Pine trees surrounding them.
