What a beautiful spot! Gary and Daren have thought of everything. We appreciated the hot shower, all the amenities in the community area, and the gorgeous view over the creek in the morning. Highly recommend this spot, we would love to come back the next time we're in Arizona.

Thanks for letting us stay even though you were not home. This Hipcamp is very convenient location, quiet and the 30 amp power panel was easy to access. We would stay again in the future

We had a lovely stay at Gary and Daren’s! The views were lovely, and there were lots of little nature walks around the area which were peaceful and quaint. The facilities were great! Hot showers, and a nice little common room with cooking facilities, water, towels, dishes, coffee, etc. Gary was very welcoming and accommodating. There’s lots of attention to detail and love invested in this space! We would definitely stay here again!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at sacred Springs. But before I get to the property, let me tell you about the hosts. We had first planned on going to the property a month ago and had some serious car troubles that made that journey impossible.
I’m pretty cynical, so typically anywhere that I’ve paid some amount of money to put a deposit down and circumstances have come up that impacted our ability to get somewhere ,not the place we were going, I usually just consider the deposit given as a loss. Never to be see again. “ thanks for playing, but sorry we have to keep your money because we are uncaring un-empathetic, greedy bastards.” That was not even remotely close to the experience we had BEFORE even making it there.
We reached out to inform Gary and Darrell that we would be unable to make it, sadly but would be looking forward to coming in the future. These remarkable gentlemen who were so kind throughout the entire communication process before we even booked, continued this kindness and added empathy and sympathy for our situation. Still emailing and talking to us while we were in the midst of a horrific experience with our vehicle, not near our home and dealing with the costs and every other negative you could have.
These two were like a ray of sunshine. Their gracious and sincere words in the emails and their hospitality and generosity is like nothing I’ve seen in years… decades even.
They refunded us and offered a complimentary stay.

We had a wonderful camping experience in the cottonwood grove. The site was easy to get to, well laid out with generous space to the other campsites, and quiet. The availability of toilets and water for washing were welcome amenities. I will be staying again on trip back to the area.

Great spot to stay while exploring the Prescott area! Nice level spot with everything we needed- electric, water, sewer, fire pit and wood! Max went above and beyond to make sure we knew how to get there, where to park and to make sure we were comfortable. Bonus- we got to see javelinas every day! Host and neighbor house are near where you park, but we still felt private and everyone was very friendly.

Beautiful, well-maintained property overlooking I-17. My wife and I only stayed for a short time, but it was great! There was a hot shower and a flush toilet, which was a savior considering that our campervan's toilet wasn't working (don't rent a van from IndieCampers). There were a bunch of other amenities provided as well, and Gary was super nice and welcoming.
The ONLY thing I think could be improved is that my tired brain could not figure out which direction to turn the faucet in the shower for hot water, but that was mostly my fault 😁

Laura was super sweet! There were very clear instructions on how to get in! The bathroom was super clean it had a flushing toilet and running water. She also had farm animals that were so friendly. Her dogs are the absolute cutest and super friendly! The campsite was so nice and very spacious. It had a table and fire pit with logs to sit on! The walk to the creek was super pretty and well maintained! We really enjoyed staying here!

Beautiful property near the creek. Clean with a nice little bathroom set up. Laura was incredibly helpful and nice. Got a peek at the alpacas and goats in the morning. Some freeway noise from busy I-17, but other than that perfect place.

This spot was ideal for a one-night stop on my way to Sedona. All of the animals are very calm and friendly with people, especially the horses. The view of the mountains and stars is really beautiful. Holly and her family are very kind and welcoming, and also allow visitors their own space. I stayed at Sunset camp which is a patch near the gate, good for self-contained car/tent camping. Heard the roosters in the morning! Rustic and cool spot.

We were very comfortable at site 7. There is tons of space set up tents. We were able to fit 4 tents and 1 large EZ up style canopy with plenty of room to spare. The ground is also not super hard and Rocky, it is relatively easy to hammer in and remove tent stakes. There is signage to direct you to your proper campsite. My friend who came in a Kia Spectra was able to get onto the property with no problems. The porta-johns were clean. Fellow campers were quiet and courteous. It was honestly almost like we didn't even have neighbors, which was nice. The camp host's dog Buddy did absolutely make a special appearance in the morning. The dog was super friendly and loving. Overall this was quite a pleasant experience and I would be happy to camp with this host again.

Like the other reviews shared, the campsites are right off of the road, and there are a lot of ATVs that go by during the day on the weekend, but it quiets down in the evening. Pretty setting and not far from town. There were some gross spots where you could tell previous campers didn't dig holes to go #2, which was not fun with dogs. But overall not a bad spot.

It's an ok campground. The best part of the campground are the host. There are recycling toilets. Drinkable water.
But the forest service doesn't do much here. The lower water spigot is STILL missing the top plug, so when you go to get water is blows out of 2 holes instead of one. Get ready to get wet. Site 16 has the largest ant hill I've ever seen. If you stay there you will get accosted by them. There are also bookoos of tent caterpillars in the oak trees directly over where you park.
When you go to reserve, there are rarely openings of any length. But when you arrive, those supposedly reserved sites are empty. You need to occupy from first night. And get ready for it to sound like your in a dog park. RUDE thoughtless dog owners!

Right off the 89A if you use some active imagination the sound of traffic might be wind in the pines. The put toilets are not kept clean and rowdy campers party all night with no concern for the rest of the camp.

Beautiful campground. Clean. Quiet. Spacious sites far apart. Great fire ring. High marks for composting toilets! Zero odor. (Do be aware of bees and wasps at the fresh water fill station though.)

There is no swimming or powered boats in the water but the canoeing is nice. There is also a good walking path around the entire lake which is also connected to a decent restaurant that serves German food.

Doing a cross country camping trip, and after I couldn't find access to another site, I settled to Mingus Mountain. I'm really glad I had to resort to plan b. Mingus mountain may be in my top 5 all time now. To think you can camp here for less than $20 dollars is pretty crazy. I think they could charge $100 and people would still come. Check out the photo of the scenic view I uploaded and you'll see why. So quiet and peaceful up here. Even the drive up here is worth jt. I'm 5 days in on my trip staying a new place each night. This one is going to be hard to leave.

Tried getting here from the East. Google maps, which is 99% reliable kept putting me on really old roads that resembled four wheeler trails. Each one taking me to a locked gate on private ranch land. The sun was setting, so I had to give up after an hour. Go to Mingus Mountain instead, if you're coming from the East. It's worth the change of course.
