Any good family campgrounds in Prescott area? Looking for a longer term summer place to keep and head to with the family.

Are you wanting to rent a site and leave your RV set up for the summer?

We found the Fairgrounds RV Park in Prescott Valley AZ very nice.

You had another post recently in which you said you preferred Pinetop. Are you looking elsewhere now? Prescott can get hot in summer unless you are in the forest service campgrounds. Another 'cool' place is Flagstaff. Munds Park is just south of Flagstaff so you might try there or Greer's Pine Shadows in Flagstaff.

We've been through Prescott several times and parked our DP in relatives yard since they have three acres. However, knowing they were going to sell the house we've been looking at the various RV parks. Most are way too crowded and have too many permanent people with too much junk


The last time through Prescott we were only going to be there one night so we tried the fairgrounds. It was easy to get into, out of and parking was easy due to the large spaces. When we go back through again, we'll stay at the fairgrounds.red

We are looking for anywhere cooler, within 2 hours or so of Gilbert, and is family oriented. I prefer Pinetop area, but we have looked up near Flag, and specifically Munds. We also have looked at Cottonwood, even though that is much warmer than I would like. Just not a lot of family type places..... at least that I have found. Extended search to Prescott, saw a place called Point of Rocks, but thought there might be alternates up higher.

Yes, exactly. If not all summer, a good portion of it. Perhaps split in two. But the idea is to enable my wife to drive the kids up on her own without towing and set up. Thinking we could get far more use.

Point of Rocks

See them all Here

We liked the fairgrounds as there was lots of space. people keep their rigs there year round. Only problem is that you are away form town.

We've stayed at Point of Rocks and the top level was pleasant. It's a smallish park.

Would Williams be too far for you? The parks there are family-tourist oriented.

How about Elk Pines in Heber? Show Low Lake Campground? Ponderosa RV Resort, Pinetop? HonDah Casino, Pinetop?

Can't speak to the other areas, but can comment on the Cottonwood area. It is hot during the day, but cools off in the evening.

The Thousand Trails has trees for shade, swimming pools, putt putt golf, shuffle board, pickle ball courts, basket ball hoops, swings etc... and is near the river.

Dead Horse Ranch State Park has fishing lagoons, lots of trails, river access and horse back riding on the park. The Quail loop has shade trees.
