Beautiful dry camping (though water is available) smaller campground set in the pines just south of Prescott, AZ. Spots are spacious, and well spread apart from other campers. Most are with a paved pad of some sort, though not all are level, so you will need your leveling blocks and/or automatic levelers in many instances. Pit toilets kept clean, though could be better kept up with toilet supplies. Water is available, but 2 of the 3 of the pumps I tried were broken and the at the last one water would not come out, despite it leaking all over the ground nearby). The host was great - very helpful when we needed to change our spot at the last minute because of my error with choosing a spot to reserve when doing so online - I didn't match up the pictures with the site I chose - my fault. The CG is very close to Prescott - taking a right turn on the highway upon leaving the CG leads north into the city and takes you directly into the heart of downtown within 3--5 minutes. Great hiking and mountain biking trails right out of the campground.

Great camping site located close to mountain biking and hiking trails. Area was quiet and well kept. Would definitely recommend go back.

The campground is in an excellent location and was surprisingly quiet when we were there - of course it was mid-week, the wind was howling, it rained all night and snow was predicted for the next day, so we left. A herd of deer meandered through our camp in the morning and that was lovely. I only have a couple complaints. It looked as though the firepit hadn't had the ashes cleaned out of it ever. And the outhouses were in need of some TLC (but there was TP, so yea!).We're going back next week in better weather so I'll see if I want to upgrade my review after that.

Roomy campground amongst the trees, depending in the spot, can feel private. Close to town.
@AaronH2375180 · Camped on Mar 7, 2025 at Campsite #4
Nice campground. Close to the highway but not so close its annoying. Bathrooms are pit toilets but still clean and usable.
@RobynHB0DDC939 · Camped on Feb 22, 2025 at Campsite #6
Our spot got given away then the guy got in our face and we were the ones accused of being mean when we weren't, the guy kept going thru the campground the whole time flipping is off because the camp host had to talk lies and bad about us, but I'm going to report this to a higher up authority you don't treat certain people u only like a certain way, and your not allowed to take cash from certain people either and be mean to others and tell them it's online ONLY! It's all online for EVERYONE not for some! And you can't even camp at ponderosa cause everyone makes sure they live there so
@MichaelP381919 · Camped on Feb 21, 2025 at Campsite #12
Nice campsite and lots of trails to hike (although youll have to find your own maps). Restrooms were decent enough - not much ventilation though. Overall, a good place to camp and well be back.
@LindyS4DC92955 · Camped on Feb 8, 2025 at Campsite #16
We enjoyed our stay. Neighbors were a bit noisy till midnight. Keep in mind toilets are outhouses and no electricity in camp sites but sites are spacious and beautiful among tall trees.
@ClarkFFE877426 · Camped on Feb 6, 2025 at Campsite #21
Area was well kept. Camp host was helpful and on top of everything.
@JessicaH9897C6 · Camped on Feb 6, 2025 at Campsite #26
We've stayed at White Spar a few times now and have always had a good experience, would definitely recommend. This trip we saw a herd of deer a few different times and some other wildlife.

Very spacious site. Good access for sizeable rigs. It would be nice if the bathrooms had access to a drinking water spigot.
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #26
White Spar campground was clean. It was annoying hearing generators all night from some campers. There were also campers that wer playing their music loud that was annoying too.
@CaseyO5866439 · Camped on Jan 17, 2025 at Campsite #8
Love White Spar! We are tent campers so there are limited spots that work for tents but the spots that do are great. The camp host was very helpful. A guest previous to us had dumped some ash and bbq briquettes over in some dried pine needles near the base of a tree (HUGE MISTAKE) but luckily they did not burn. other than that the campsite was super clean. We only discovered the huge fire hazard because we walked 10 into the trees in our camp area (which was far from any other site). So its understandable why the host wouldve missed it when checking the site for the next campers.
@JonathanJ62451 · Camped on Jan 1, 2025 at Campsite #31
Good clean area
@ToriLCBBDFC3AA · Camped on Dec 29, 2024 at Campsite #21
I wish we got t stay more than one day. Seemed like a great campground.
@NICANORNAB495D · Camped on Dec 29, 2024 at Campsite #19
I arrived at the White Spar Campground around 9:00 PM, but unfortunately, my reserved site, Spot 19, was already occupied. I double-checked my reservation to ensure it was confirmed for me. I'm not sure how this mix-up happened, but it was quite disappointing. I attempted to speak with the campground manager for assistance, but it seemed they were already asleep at that hour.
@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Dec 21, 2024 at Campsite #27
Visited on 12/21/24. Nice campground, nice area, trails out of the campground, close to town. The downside: The bathroom vault toilets were unbelievably disgusting and by far the worst I have EVER witnessed. I was shocked they could be that horrendous, which had to take multiple days and probably weeks of the host not cleaning them, and still go unnoticed by management/FS personnel. Feces smeared on the outside of toilet in one of them along with filthy toilets, urine spotted floors, toilet paper all over, very large bag of trash hanging from wall was full and overflowing onto the floor and the stench was overwhelming. Opened the door and immediately walked out. Went to the other bathroom close to the camp host and except for the feces, it was in the same exact shape. Could not use them and had to drive into town to use a restroom.

Clean and quiet with a perfect amount of hiking trails.

Whoever runs this is only interested in maximizing profit and should NOT be running a campground in a national forest.Pulled in late during a road trip where of the 31 total camp sites only THREE were first come first serve. Mind you the entire camp ground had maybe 7 occupants. Of course the THREE first come first serve spots were already taken so I pull into 1 of the "reserve" ones come to this website to reserve where the price is higher than the listed walk up price and there's for some reason a "reservation fee" despite being literally parked in the spot. Just got refused a refund so now my bank will deal with these nickel and diming fools. I was there less than 8 hours and will never be back.
@KristaGB1A589F · Camped on Dec 7, 2024 at Campsite #8
Awesome place !!! Will definitely go back
@NickV5946699 · Camped on Nov 30, 2024 at Campsite #14
Good spot! Can hear some traffic from the highway but that's likely applicable to the entire campground, not just this site. This campsite is both close enough and far enough away from the restrooms.
@MaryL7701176 · Camped on Nov 25, 2024 at Campsite #4
Great place/hiking
@LindaPD03B626E · Camped on Nov 14, 2024 at Campsite #10
This campsite is always our favorite. I do not use the restrooms at the campsite and the smell in there is horrendous and I can't stop gagging. We use our own toilet in our RV. Other than that the experience was wonderful
@PattiM4232007 · Camped on Nov 14, 2024 at Campsite #17
Location is great! Just minutes to downtown Prescott. Clean restrooms. Quiet at night in the winter.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
