"Just a little south of Prescott, this campground is located in Prescott National Forest among the pines. Campsites are decent sizes and far apart from each other."
"This was not necessarily true of the other loops that we heard in the distance."
$51 - $66 / night
"We stayed in spot 46A (it was right behind the main office so not a ton of privacy) their upper camping loop looks to have much better views and more private but it was the only spot they had that covered"
"The short walk to the stunning lake Watson makes this park a must visit."
$18 - $36 / night
"It was not to far from the lake, a short hike down the hill. The Hosts were great. They would check to see if we needed anything or just drive through & wave."
"Camp spots are good size, clean, and walking distance to both the lake and various hiking trails."
$18 - $36 / night
"Beautiful pine area with a quick hike to the Lynx Lake. Concrete tables and fire pits with grills. We stayed in #14 and it was several steps to the actual camp site."
"Roadside parking for most spots make easy drive through access for RV's and TT."
"The spots here are really nice but if you go camping in the winter season you definitely need four wheel drive."
"I lucked out and got the last spot, unfortunately it was relatively close to the road and there was some traffic during the day. There are several roads to drive down and find a spot."
"Its kind of the perfect dispersed situation. It’s easy to get to, there’s around 20 spots in the area. Road is bumpy but passable by basically any car. Sites were super clean and well spaced out."
"It has some great views of Prescott and the surrounding area. I didn't get any pictures while on the hike itself, but I got some on Senator Highway."
"Site 1 & 2 were easily accessible to any car I would say, from lot 3 and on it does get kind of bumpy and rocky but nothing you can’t maneuver if you really wanted too , we were going to and the driver"
"Fellow campers passing by were friendly and mindful of noise as they drove down the nearby road. I had Verizon signal, two bars."
"This is probably the most unique lake in Arizona! Incredible views! Rock formations instead of shoreline make this a little less user friendly, but worth the effort."
"This park is such a beautiful place and escape the Arizona heat. You can't go in the water but they rent kayaks at the park and there's plenty of places you can stand with your feet in the water."
"Stayed a night at #9 and it was a great time, quite with the sound of the creek running behind camp. Clean area and one of the two bathrooms was smell free."
"We stay at site 3 because it was right next to the creek. You could hear it flowing all night and it was amazing!"
$18 - $36 / night
"Driving distance or short walk to lake. No Verizon cell service."
"Quiet with nearby hiking and biking even a little lake."
GuideSo many sites and gorgeous sunsets. Near enough to Phoenix without the intense heat
GuideMuddy, can get stuck easy in case of light rain. Not much privacy.
**Stay on Beaverhead Rd another 1 or 2 miles and you ll find better options. **
GuideNice open flat BLM camping right in-between I40 & old Route 6.
ScoutGreat for a quick and quiet overnight stop, not too crowded for a Saturday night
GuideLots of space, quiet, scenic drive to get to the spot. Some cell coverage but not much. I d stay again!
ScoutThere are a lot of pullouts along this forest road. There are also lots and lots of campers. It’s very quiet and everyone was respectful of space. It’s a great place to stop when visiting Williams, Flagstaff, and Grand Canyon. Dirt road is in good shape. It is very dry and fire danger sign said high so no camp fires burning this week.
GuideIt’s not the Taj Mahal but it’s quiet and the views aren’t too shabby. It gets the job done.
GuideIt’s a ways off the beaten path so make sure your rig can handle it but it’s a neat little spot to camp to avoid all the crowds. We hiked Subway cave while in Sedona and recommend the hike but you definitely want to start as early in the morning as you can because the people flock in droves.
ScoutWe are in a 35' class A towing a jeep. No problem getting to the end of the road. Only one other camper. Breezy and quiet.
