"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."
$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."
"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."
$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."
$51 - $66 / night
"The short walk to the stunning lake Watson makes this park a must visit."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
ScoutThere are several fenced in and cleared dirt areas to park and pull through trucks, a camper, tent and car, etc. any vehicle can make it to the staging area, road is easy to travel. Sound of ATV and dirt bikes is pretty constant, otherwise it is quiet, great star views, with a outhouse bathroom.
TravelerOne of the better disparate sites in the Prescott area. Clean. No transients. True recreation area with hiking and mountain biking vistas. Some of the best mountain biking in the area. Close to Whiskey Row. Excellent mobile reception, depending on the site location.
TravelerNot my favorite place. Spots are not very private. Super dusty.
+'s: As a mountain biker, this is a super spot. White Spar is close. You can go North or South. In the Summertime, the wind blows from the South. Perfect placement. Great T-Mobile coverage, which is a rare thing in N AZ.
-'s: Dusty as hell. I wish they had not cute down the ponderosa pines around the sites. Kinda messes with the name of the road.
ScoutSpent 3 nights had an amazing time with easy access to town . Water , bathrooms , fire pit , tables , great views and trees .

Traveler5 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.
GuideSo many sites and gorgeous sunsets. Near enough to Phoenix without the intense heat
GuideLots of space, quiet, scenic drive to get to the spot. Some cell coverage but not much. I d stay again!
GuideIt’s not the Taj Mahal but it’s quiet and the views aren’t too shabby. It gets the job done.
