Located just 9 miles from Jerome Arizona in the Prescott National Forest, this site provides a quiet and tranquil escape from the city and is still in the middle of both great shopping and history. Spend a day in Jerome or doing wine tastings in nearby Cottonwood and Prescott Valley
Facilities:The site has a large group gathering place with picnic tables, grills, a large fire pit and vault toilet and is adjacent to a family picnic area. There is no drinking water available. The nearby towns of Prescott Valley and Cottonwood have grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, shopping and other conveniences.
Natural Features: The campground is in a secluded site in the tall ponderosa pine trees. Pleasant daytime temperatures and cool mountain breezes make it a nice respite from the summer heat of nearby deserts.
Recreation: The surrounding forest offers many hiking trails of various levels of intensity, from easy short-distance walks to more challenging elevated climbs. Campers who need a break from hiking can relax around the campground, take in the views and listen to the sound of the wind in the pines.
NEarby Attractions: A short drive away is the colorful town of Jerome, an abandoned mining town that has been transformed into an artist and tourist community.
