We found a dispersed campsite right of Senator Hwy in Prescott AZ by Wolf Creek. It was somewhat difficult to get to, but it is possible in a 4x4 and good ground clearance. There were nice fire rings already made and plenty of space for multiple tents if wanted! Plenty of trees for hammocks and plenty of ground space for tents.
Had a blast driving up to Prescott for the weekend with friends, and we got lucky that we got to have a fire since Prescott has had a lot of fire problems.
The Lower Wolf Creek campground was clean but the spaces were really close together. There were a lot of people there with a lot of small children and when driving through the campground you had to be on constant alert looking for the little ones. The bathrooms were clean and the roads were "paved" and fairly well maintained. There was a water faucet but no way to turn it on. I don't know if it was an old pipe or for emergency only but they don't have water available that I could find.
Well maintained campground. Clean vault toilets. Nice hiking around area. Good place for families. First come- first served only, no reservations for sites.
