Prescott/White Spar
Overview
White Spar Campground offers a quintessential Arizona forest experience within the Prescott National Forest. Tucked away under a canopy of towering Ponderosa pines, this campground provides a serene atmosphere for travelers looking to disconnect from the modern world. At an elevation of approximately 5,700 feet, the air is consistently crisp and the surroundings remain lush, offering a cool mountain respite from the desert heat found in lower elevations of the state.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just three miles south of downtown Prescott, this location offers a unique blend of wilderness and convenience. The campground is nestled in the Bradshaw Mountains, providing a rugged backdrop of granite boulders and dense timber. Visitors enjoy the easy access to the Prescott Basin, a region known for its diverse wildlife and an extensive network of recreational trails that wind through the scenic mountain landscape.
Amenities & Park Features
As a traditional forest service site, White Spar focuses on a rustic, natural experience rather than resort-style luxuries. The park provides paved camping spurs that can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 40 feet in length. While there are no utility hookups available, the site is well-maintained and equipped with vault toilets and seasonal potable water. Each individual campsite features a sturdy picnic table and a steel fire ring, encouraging a classic campfire experience under the stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do with Goldwater Lake located just a short drive away, which is perfect for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The campground serves as a primary trailhead for several popular paths, including the Arivapai Trail, which is a favorite for both hikers and mountain bikers. For those seeking local culture, the historic Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott offers local dining, galleries, and a glimpse into Arizona's frontier history.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal match for dry campers who value natural beauty and quiet over luxury amenities. It is a fantastic choice for outdoor adventurers looking for immediate trail access and a genuine forest setting. If you prefer the sound of wind through the pines over the hum of a crowded RV resort, White Spar provides the perfect basecamp for your Northern Arizona journey.

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.

It was the worst latte ever made in the history of lattes. Mind you not one day but three days on Oct 1,2 and 3rd . Omg they made us sick and the fact we gave them a third day was really stupid on our part. Terrible baristas . Also the sausage croissants were terrible. This PLACE SUCKS! No wonder Starbucks is losing money and customers. Terrible service terrible coffee. Shame on the owner not training them or they are too stupid to learn.

I love this place. If you shop wisely I average spending $70 saving $30 to $35. All the workers there are very helpful and friendly!

Employees are friendly, hardworking, and helpful. This poor rating is for safeway corporation digital coupons, I see it as a form of discrimination for the AGING and for people who do not have the most uptodate phone. ( aging and poor) Sending. Them elsewhere to shop. The company should remember that baby boomers are still the majority of the population , have wealth that dont embrace technology and are shopping at sprouts, trader Joe's and walmart due to the turn off off the digital coupns
