Enchanted forest trail campsites

I would not bring a travel trailer or larger rv in but tent or van camping spots. Nice trees and trails. Verizon is doable even with the tall pines. Quiet considering the closeness of the campsites

Close to Prescott. Lots of transient. Great Mountain Biking.Cell Poor.

5 miles off of 69. Close to the center of Costco, Walmart, downtown Prescott and the Valley. This is a transient center. Loud music all day and night. Friendly, but you get it if you understand. 

Mountain biking trails are pretty sweet. Well-groomed and challenging. Better trails than Thumb Butte. Lots of variation with mountain lanes covered with shade and wide open. Tough yet giving. 

No cell reception,  T-Mobile and I were lucky to get a single bar. In this area, the sites sit in a valley.  No chance. 

If you are okay with the above, move down to the next site to the south. Less frequented by the transient, Quieter.

Excellent choice!

We drove to the end and then came back and took a left up a hill next to another campsite! It was a great site and clean. We were presently surprised!

Beautiful place a nice hike to the lake

This place is gorgeous the sites are spaced well . Unfortunately there's been a lot of homeless and left behind trash when we stay we always leave with bags and bags of trash. We can complain about the problem or be part of the solution.

Nice alternative to a paid site

11 sites are marked off that you are able to camp. I lucked out and got site #11 which was well separated from the other sites. The other sites are relatively close together. Only down part about my site was it was at the end of the dirt road and had many cars turning around near my site. Picked up a little bit of trash from previous campers. There was quite a bit of toilet paper around the site which was not cool.
