This 55-site Coconino National Forest campground sits at 5,500 feet around a small fishing lake surrounded by ponderosa pines. Most sites have tables, fire rings, and decent spacing for privacy. The lake offers fishing and non-motorized boating, while hiking trails connect to the greater Prescott trail system. Vault toilets and drinking water available. Gets busy on summer weekends.
Located just 4 miles east of Prescott off Walker Road, making it an ideal base for exploring Senator Highway and other historic mining roads. Campground typically opens May through September depending on snow conditions. Reservations recommended for summer stays.
