Camping near Prescott National Forest

Point of Rocks RV Campground in Prescott is a hidden treasure nestled within the breathtaking Granite Dells. A private trail from the campground leads directly to the stunning Watson Lake Park, which offers hiking, biking, kayaking, disc golf, and more, all just steps from your site. Located only minutes from historic downtown Prescott, the campground perfectly blends peaceful natural surroundings with convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and attractions. The RV sites are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, creating a relaxing and scenic atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the personalized welcome packets with helpful directions and park information are a thoughtful bonus. Whether you’re exploring the trails, paddling across the lake, or simply soaking in the beauty of the Dells, Point of Rocks is a must-visit for RV travelers. It’s no wonder this is considered Prescott’s #1 RV campground.

The amenities are nice our kids liked the playground, and the pool was nice to have when it was hot in the afternoon. The pool was absolutely filthy but wasn’t our biggest concern. Staff was friendly to us but didn’t really seem to want to take steps to check on their guests like I see at other campgrounds. The location is decent being close to wineries nearby and Sedona for hiking and such. Other than that it was the single worst camping experience of my life As a seasoned camper… the site they had us at was infested with BITING horseflies… I’m talking like in the hundreds. We kept everything in our cars didn’t leave things out and tried to keep things as clean as we could but they still came in hoards. They were biting our kids and swarming us to a point we went in to ask if we could move up a bit to another campsite to just eat at least, which helped a little but was still pretty aggressive. And look I get it there are bugs in the great outdoors I’ve never had a problem with that but this was not ok cause they seemed aware of it and didn’t take steps to accommodate other groups they wanted to place in those sites. we asked around other sites turns out just the sites on the side we were on aka sites on the water by the j5 side are INFESTED but all the ones on the upper portion of the campgrounds don’t have that problem I assume it’s mostly due to the creek having water that’s running more over there versus being less stagnant. My problem is they are putting people in sites they are very aware of a problem. We overheard staff talking about swarms even. If the flies get like this during specific parts of the season they should warn their guests and make other arrangements. My kids and I are covered in huge painful welts that are bursting caused by the biting flies. The site we had also had a million ant holes but we just avoided those. For the price they expect you to pay for this campground I’d have thought they would take guest concerns on his more seriously. If u have kids just choose a different campsite the amenities are not worth it. We had an option to escape in the listed clubhouse that would have been nice too but it still says“closed” stating cause of covid on it… had I not been responsible for organizing my larger group to be there I would have left on day one… we probably spent another$60 just on fly traps from their general store(which they charge$7.99 each) Sedona and northern Arizona has a bunch of great campsites this is not one of them. Avoid at all costs.

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.
