Prescott National Forest campgrounds are generally clean, well-maintained, and set in beautiful natural surroundings with friendly and helpful hosts. Most sites offer spaciousness, privacy, and quiet, peaceful environments close to hiking trails, lakes, and nearby towns. Visitors appreciate the good facilities, including restrooms and proximity to amenities. However, common issues include occasional noise from generators, neighboring campers, or nearby roads; inconsistent enforcement of quiet hours and rules; limited or no water availability at some sites; reservation difficulties; maintenance and cleanliness problems with restrooms; and challenges with site sizes or parking, especially for larger rigs. Wildlife presence, odor in pit or vault toilets, and limited shade during summer are also noted concerns.

Just about everything you could ask for in a campground: clean, spacious, great trails and quiet fellow campers. If you are a light sleeper just be aware that it's close to the 89 and sometimes traffic can get a little louder than you might like. But overall, great.

Great for tent camping, not so great for car camping. The grounds is not near where you park.

This is a beautiful campground. I was camped at space 18 which has pretty epic rock formations, and is right across from the bathrooms. My experience here was very good. The only thing that made it a little bit off was the fact that my phone was getting no cell service, I was on SOS the majority of the time. I also thought it was interesting that the Camp Host never came around and at their site they were marked off duty the whole time I was there which was four nights. I’m so used to interactive camp hosts. I will say that definitely this is a place that you should put on your list. The spaces are very roomy. They are well spread out and the fall colors were beautiful.

Groom Creek continues to be an excellent place to visit with your horses. The area has plenty of trails and the facilities are clean. Easy to get to for mid sized rigs. We go back every year.
