"Off road trails that can also be used for running/hiking. Numerous sites the further back you go. Some need higher clearance to get to. Water for .25 a gallon at the Uhaul in town."
"The road is a little bumpy, but it’s a very short drive to the first pull off. There is a cemetery on the same road, but you can easily camp a decent amount away from it."
"We had a spot quite close to the entrance, so it was a bit loud in the morning with the garbage truck and train, but nothing extreme."
"Can't speak to other sites but mine had some broken glass and shell casings scattered around. Was pretty quiet though. Road in was good but looks like it could be slippery when wet."
$15 / night
"Sites are level and graveled. 15 minutes away from the Granite Mountain IHC Memorial! Give them a try and leave some reviews!"
$10 / night
"Close to town and close to fun attractions such as the rodeo or box canyon wash!"
"Around 30 sites. Not “8” like the website read. Definitely not a place you stay more than one night though."
"Stopped by to spend a day looking around Wickenburg. Level gravel sites with a concrete patio. FHU, pool, showers in the bath house. Easy in and back on the highway. Would stay here again."
$18 - $36 / night
"This was not necessarily true of the other loops that we heard in the distance."
"Prescott, Arizona. Nice sites, 3 of which are first come first serve. We got one of those. Wooded area with drinking water pumps scattered about, trash receptacles, and toilets."
$15 - $300 / night
"We stayed in late September and had no neighbors next to us so we felt like we were in the desert. There was no direction that had a bad view."
"It was an great way to be exposed to trails I may not have chosen on my own."
GuideIt’s a level spot and has a view of the surrounding mountains but there is no shade in sight! It has some road noise but not enough to keep you from sleep. We did ride into the mountains and found some wild Burros which was pretty cool to see. Lots of people come here to rock hound so we are going down to the river to check it out. There is a campground right down the road that has a dump and water for a small fee that anyone can use. It’s pretty here but not much shade.
TravelerWe drove our Chevy 2500 and a 28’ camping trailer. On the way in we came from the north from Iron Springs Rd. That was very tight but if you come from town on Thumb Butte Rd it’s a much easier drive in. The forest road was a little bumpy but not a concern. We saw a number of cars and vans without all or 4wd.
Great place. We drove up on Friday during the day, the first three campsites are nestled together and were taken.
Site 4 was large and backed up to a nice hiking trail and vista. We did get a few hikers here and there, as well as some cars passing by but it was secluded and we were able to disconnect and enjoy.
Passed site 4 there were numerous other sites include some on the peak with excellent views. However if you have an rv or camping trailer site 4 was ideal.
I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for dispersed camping near Prescott.
GuideWe chose this RV park because of it's proximity to Whiskey Row and the road to Jerome. We brought our motorcycle specifically for that ride. Showed up after office hours (closed at 6pm). The road off the hwy is narrow and pot holed. Checked in with the camp host who had us follow his golf cart to our spot, which was a pull through. Spot was on the edge of the campground, next to a fence separating it from a mobile home park. Lots of full timers in the campground, one of whom kept coming over trying to talk to us any time we were outside, which was annoying. Trees and bushes all around, but not a lot of shade. Advertised picnic tables and fire rings. Some spots had movable tables, but not all. Ours had a table on the back of our trailer, but it was not movable, and a bush was growing over it. No fire rings. Wood fires a no go, but propane fires are allowed. Someone was yelling all night long our second night and again in the early morning, waking us up. Supposedly there's a trail to hike to the lake, but we didn't go. Staff very friendly when we checked in. Office has small convenience store. Didn't use bathrooms or laundry. Check out must have been 11am (they didn't say at check in) because the power shut off at 11:15am. We basically just needed a place to sleep 2 nights and we were gone all day on our motorcycle, so this campground filled our needs. Can see staying here again for the same purpose.
ScoutNo service for boobdocking but nice veiw and quit
ScoutI 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
ScoutGreat place, with laundry and clean restrooms. Would definitely stay again..
TravelerGot in pretty late at night on a Friday but had no difficulty finding a spot. Road was a little rocky but not horrible. Gorgeous views all around, and you can drive far enough back to really lose the road sounds. It was pretty hot, as would be expected here, but the breeze through the night was enough to keep us cooled off with the tent vents opened.
TravelerCampsites were well separated, surrounded by pines with a beautiful night sky above the trees. They had the cleanest bathrooms I had ever seen in a campground. Keep In mind there are known bears in the area, and the camp host did warn us about a mountain lion as well. The host really loves his job and we had a lot of fun talking to him.
GuideI came in late, around 9-10pm some August night. I have mint mobile so it took 20ish minutes to pay for spot 2. After payment, I grabbed my lantern to survey the tent pad. Littered with ants. So back seat in my LS, boat of a car. Slept well. When I woke though, the air was clean. No sound of the city and the camp host contacted me and looked healthy. Bathrooms were nice and the compost type.
I wish I had more time to explore but I just needed a spot for the night. Tried to come back for Fri and sat but it was all booked up. Definitely I will be back.
