68 Reviews

Horspitality RV Resort offers individual horse corrals with convenient access to its RV sites in Wickenburg, approximately 19 miles southwest of Yarnell. The resort provides full hookups including water, sewer, and electrical connections with both 30 and 50-amp service for RVs and tent camping. Amenities include clean showers, restrooms, trash disposal, and laundry facilities. Most sites are pull-through to accommodate large trailers. The park sits down a hill from Highway 60, reducing road noise for a quieter camping experience. Horse facilities are well-maintained with dedicated areas for equine care and management.

Groom Creek Horse Camp, located in Prescott National Forest about 38 miles northwest of Yarnell, features designated equestrian campsites with highlines and one corral at each site. The campground permits access only to campers with horses, maintaining its dedicated equestrian focus. Water spigots are positioned throughout the campground, though campers should bring containers to transport water to their sites. Clean pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables are available at each campsite. The trail system connects directly to the campground with multiple route options through well-shaded, sometimes hilly terrain. Portable panels are recommended for those traveling with multiple horses as each site has limited containment options. The campground operates seasonally from May 1 to October 31, offering a cooler alternative to desert camping during summer months.

    Groom Creek Horse Camp

    Great Horse Camp

    This is a very beautiful campground for horse people only. Most sites are pull through to accommodate large trailers. The trails are very pretty. Parts are hilly, but well shaded. There are high lines and a corral at each site. As well as a firepit and picnic bench. Depending on site water can be close, the water is located throughout the campground. The pit toliets were clean,  and wheelbarrows and rakes were provided at the dumpsters to clean horse areas. There is no atv or other type vehicles allowed in campground, but they are allowed near the campground and on some trails, so take note of which trails if that is a concern with your horse. There are some other youth campgrounds around so sometimes you can hear band practice lol. Dispersed camping is allowed just outside the campground boundary as well.

    White Tank Mountain

    Peaceful retreat

    This park is so close to town, but far enough to get some quiet night sky! There are standard campsites and a more primitive camping area. The Willow Canyon site is big enough for a full length Sprinter, though the office says 16’ is the length limit.

    Lots of trails for hiking, biking and horses. Brand new showers, restrooms and a dishwashing area. Dogs allowed too!

    I’m on Verizon and only got a single bar in the park. The library is near the entrance if you need to get your WiFi fix!

    Groom Creek Horse Camp

    Horse camp. No horse, no camping

    We have stayed here 2 years in a row now. Very nice camp ground but it is dry camping. They have a high line and 1 pen at each site. We take portable panels also due to traveling with 2 horses. Take some way of hauling water to your camp site, there are several water Fawcett for filling but not close to all sites. Nice trail riding. Take note that if you don't have a horse with you, you will not be able to stay there.

    White Tank Mountain

    Bring water and take a hike

    This area is best for its hiking and photo ops, in my humble opinion. As with most desert campgrounds in Arizona, there is not much privacy between the sites but take advantage of the beauty. The waterfall trail is an easy hike and very doable with kids. You can only bring a stroller so far unless it's an off-roading stroller but the hike is worth it (especially if there's water flowing). There's a playground across from the trailhead in case all else fails and someone stays behind with he little ones. Restrooms are thoughtfully placed here. DO watch for rattle snakes on this trail and all for that matter. Also, bring a lot of water and then some. Stop at the Visitor Center and library on your way in. You're not far removed from civilization so anything you need is just a brief drive away.

    Constellation Park

    Clean, cheap, close to town

    Constellation Park campground is a clean campground located in a Sandy area near the town of Wickenburg. Fee is $8 a night at a self pay station. There is trash service and there is water across the street at the horse trough by the rodeo grounds. You can fill jugs, but there is not room to fill a trailer. People with horses are given preference in the spaces with corrals. There is no host. Sites are large, widely spaces with plenty of desert shade trees. Cell service is good. Just a mile to McDonalds. Don't try to stay here when the rodeo is scheduled.

    Constellation Park

    Rodeo drive of primitive campgrounds

    No tent camping. Self contained RVs only. Constellation park campground hosts horse events and rodeos that draw crowds from everywhere and of all ages. Campground is directly across the street from all horse and rodeo activities so this is very convenient if you are in the area for horsemanship.

    Relaxing boondock

    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. Gas station and family dollar within walking distance if you take the trails.

    Crown King Area (Horsethief Basin lake)

    On Top of the World

    This majestic spot is roughly ~26 miles (from Bumble Bee) of bumpy dirt roads, steep terrain, switchbacks, and the occasional one vehicle bridge. The main city of Crown King has a general store with essentials and a 1 pump fuel station. Prices are steep so best advised to fill up on gas and supplies before heading up. The Hazlitt Hollow campground and Horse Thief Basin Lake are ~7 miles from the main city of Crown King and definitely require a high clearance vehicle (4x4 highly recommended). Horse Thief Lake is truly a magical place and beyond serene. The lake fish species present include Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, and Muskie. The weather is very similar to Prescott with an elevation of 6,000 ft. Peaceful, quiet, serene, and soothing all describe this area perfectly.

    Beautiful and close to town

    This park is so close to town, but far enough that you feel like you are way out. There are standard campsites (water and electric) as well as tent camping area. The sites can fit good sized rigs.  There is a ton of trails for hiking, biking, and horses. Brand new showers, restrooms, and a dishwashing area. Dogs are allowed, but please keep them on a leash and pick up after them so we don't lose the privilege!
