Prescott/White Spar
Overview
Overview
The White Spar Campground is a serene, forest-based retreat located just south of Prescott, Arizona. Situated within the Prescott National Forest, this destination offers a rustic escape from the heat of the lower deserts. It is characterized by a tranquil, wooded environment where visitors can enjoy the crisp mountain air. The campground is best suited for those seeking a nature-focused experience rather than a resort-style stay, providing a peaceful retreat under a dense canopy of ponderosa pines.
Location & Surroundings
Located along the scenic White Spar Road, the campground is strategically positioned for travelers who appreciate being immersed in the Prescott National Forest. The site provides a quiet atmosphere while remaining close enough to civilization to be convenient for stocking supplies. The surrounding landscape features rolling hills and majestic pine trees, which provide significant shade. Travelers will find the elevation refreshing, as the higher altitude creates a unique high-desert climate that stays cool throughout the spring and summer months.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground offers a back-to-basics approach to outdoor lodging, focusing on the beauty of the surrounding wilderness. You will find essential facilities including vault toilets and drinking water stations scattered throughout the grounds. Each campsite is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table, perfect for evening meals under the stars. While this is not a full-hookup destination, it is well-maintained and provides a pet-friendly environment, making it a reliable spot for those who enjoy dry camping or using self-contained RVs.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Guests staying at White Spar have immediate access to a variety of outdoor activities. Hiking enthusiasts can explore numerous scenic trails that wind directly through the forest from the campground perimeter. A short drive north brings you to the historic downtown area of Prescott, where you can explore the famous Whiskey Row or browse local art galleries. Nearby Watson Lake provides additional opportunities for kayaking and fishing, ensuring there is plenty to do for those who enjoy balancing adventure with relaxation.
Who This Park Is Best For

It is a perfect fit for those who prefer boondocking or dry camping in a peaceful, wooded setting. If you are a traveler looking to disconnect from city noise and spend your days hiking or simply enjoying the quiet of the pines, White Spar provides an authentic mountain getaway that captures the essence of Arizona’s high country.

This is now my local market since I moved to Hassayampa; and I love it. I've lived in Phoenix, where mega-stores weren't as consistently stocked. And the staff is super friendly. It's a winner.

This is a much smaller Safeway and its easy to get in and out. I get tired of walking in some larger stores so this fits my needs for the pick up a few things type of trip. Even when busy its always an easy trip with plenty of open registers and self checkout. Even customer service is quick.

If there was a zero to select for this review, I would select it. This Safeway on White Spar is where I regularly shop, because it is closest to my home and most of the time, the employees are quite friendly and helpful. Today I stopped in simply to get an adjustment on my receipt from the night before when I picked up several groceries. There were two discrepancies on my receipt. The prices didnt were not reflective of the coupons I clipped on the safeway app. It has happened before BTW. Not my first rodeo with this type of occurrence. At customer service, the woman, an older person with thick glasses and an attitude was the face of Safeway today. Not friendly, helpful or kind. I showed her my receipt, where I had circled the 2 items. She responded, did you clip the coupons, I responded yes. Did you click the coupons in the store. No. I plan ahead, clip the coupons, make a list, then go to the store. She continues well because if you clipped the coupons in the store there's no time for it to hit the cloud. I again told her I had clipped the coupons prior to going there. And, I showed her a picture of the shelf where I picked up the item. She begins to leave her work area and I told her I have a picture of the digital coupon right on my phone. I also told her there is nothing on the shelf for the plastic ware that says sale but I clipped the digital coupon. She doesn't want to see it, she says she is going to go check the item on the shelf. The woman returns, and says she will make the adjustment on the bread. Then she looks at the Pic on my phone for the plastic ware and says it is an item for pick up or delivery. I explained, I was in the store and picked it up. She said no, online order then pick up. I said that made no sense. I'm in the store and I clipped the coupon. That's ridiculous, so i have to order it online then pick it up at the store, but if I just go in the store and pick it up, I can't get the sale price. So I said fine ill bring the item back for a refund. It hasn't been opened. She said well how about I cut you a deal and give you $1.00 off the plastic ware and $1.50 for the bread. That's $2.50 she says. Oh my gosh what an insult is what I thought. I said no! Im not in a position to cut a deal, im a person on a budget and simply want you to honor the price as advertised. Does this woman really think im so down on my luck and desparate for $2.50 that ill simply accept that and be on my way? She acted like the $6 and change was coming out of her very own pocket! I accepted she didn't want to adjust the item and I was fine with returning it. Just completely inappropriate and belittling. It's unacceptable, Safeway! In the end she begrudgingly gave me six whole dollars and change. Wow. Now I can buy a house! Big cheat that I am. Not!!! Then she says, there you go. I collect my receipt and the money from the counter not believing I actually had to deal with this demeaning person. She just stood there, no thank you or anything of the sort came out of her mouth. This from Bob Barkers fan..."I'll make you a deal"...oh please! You know what you can do with that deal! Is $6 and some change worth losing a regular customer? 🤔

Store closes at 10 but yet on doordash it won't let me order at 9PM. I completely understand if it was 9:50 pm but 9:00? Also they always leave brest chicken out 5+ hours over the limited time they're supposed to leave it out (example : they cook it at 3pm and still have them out at 8pm instead of pulling them out and cook new ones). The only ones that pulled they're chicken is Frys.
