    White Spar Campground

    Nice campground in Pines

    We love coming to this campground. It’s only 3 miles from Prescott and well maintained. There are some sites that don’t have any shade and some that are very unlevel. (15 is very uneven) We stayed in 29 and was easy to back into and get everything leveled pretty easily. There are bathrooms and water available throughout the campground. Goldwater lake is your closet water for fishing.

    Potato Patch Campground

    Nice quiet wooded camp

    Nice camp. Sites are well separated. Quiet, but some road noise. Can hear cars passing, but very quiet after dark. Large 13x13 foot tent pads. Concrete table Gravel in campsites no dust or mud. Forest service directions say road is steep and twisty. It is, but not more than most mountain roads. Just one 15mph hairpin turn. When coming from Prescott. Much curvier from Jerome. Friendly campers.

    Potato Patch Campground

    Great during the week, super busy on weekends

    It's unusual to find electric hookups at USFS campgrounds in Arizona. The spaces are close together where there is power. During the week, the campers were retired people, mostly from Prescott. In June, the weather got hot by 11 AM, so being able to run the AC was needed, even at almost 8000 elevation. On the weekend, several families came and the adults stayed inside their RVs and let their kids be extremely loud until 9 pm. Next time, I would stay in the lower loop where spots are much bigger and take a generator. There isn't much to do, so camping with some friends would be better. The road up to Potato Patch has many 6% grades and tight mountain curves.

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Our favorite Thousand Trails campground!

    This place is huge! Nestled in the red rock country of Arizona, this Thousand Trails campground offers a scenic and tranquil escape. The sites are well-spaced, and the amenities include a pool, hot tub, 2 dog parks, hiking trails, river access and clubhouse. Its proximity to Sedona, Jerome and local wineries makes it an excellent choice for those seeking relaxation and exploration.

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    Very good site for large rigs. All sites have loose rockbase.

    All hookups available at all sites. There is a dog park and a walking path along the river in which the dogs took a dip.

    Zane Grey RV Village

    BEAUTIFUL campground! Plan at for at least a couple of nights!

    This was just a stop along our route, and we were so bummed we only stayed here one night! Shady, lots of trees, pristine condition of all facilities including dog park, walking trail next to the creek, and large enough sites for our 42' rig. There was live music on night! Furthermore, they were generous and understanding of an emergency situation that happened on the day we needed to leave. The owner even brought my kids popsicles while we packed up! Ask him what he used to do for a living... he'll have a fun telling you about it. Beautiful campground I couldn't recommend more.
