Arizona walnut and live-oaks are interspersed among the ponderosa pines in this boulder strewn campground located within a short drive of the city of Prescott. The campground is open from May 1 to October 31 each year and a host is available to provide information and assist visitors to find a suitable camping site. The campsites provided are generally large enough to accommodate most recreational vehicles that are not in excess of 40 feet long; however, no hookups or drinking water are available. There is a $6 a night fee for each site. This campground does not have any Recreational Vehicle hookups, dumpstations or shower facilities.
