It’s Once Again Time to Camp Out

Spring in Greater Prescott is the best anywhere, and it’s also the gateway to summer and even more outdoor frolicking as months of sunshine, piney warmth and cooled-down evenings unroll ahead of us.

It’s time to start parking our RVs and pitching our tents at Lynx or Watson Lakes, White Spar or any of the other magnetic campgrounds we have to choose from here.

Most campgrounds in and around Prescott that shut down for the winter reopen in April, making this a great time to check out the major campgrounds being put back into service for the balmy months. These four have onsite restrooms, with dry camping only, since none have RV hookups. q

Watson Lake Park

Campground opens first weekend of April through first weekend in October

    Fee: $20/night

    Click Here For Info About Watson Lake Park Camping

This small but very convenient campground has 19 sites that can be reserved and another 15 set aside on a first-come, first-serve basis. They’re near the park’s main entrance off state Route 89 and a short hike from the water. This City-run campsite offers dry camping and is open Thursday through Monday nights. Visitors praise its spectacular Granite Dells scenery, spacious sites, convenience to boat ramps and fishing and restroom facilities.

Lynx Lake Recreation Area

Campgrounds scheduled to be open April 1-Oct. 31

    Fee: $18-$36/night, plus $5 for each extra vehicle (for both Lynx and Hilltop campgrounds)

    Click Here For Info About Lynx Lake Recreation Area Camping

This wooded lake on Prescott’s southeast edge is just south of the Highlands Center for Natural History and home to a network of forest trails, day-use areas for picnicking and wildlife viewing, a group campground, along with the two for use by individual tents and RVs.

The Hilltop campground has 38 single spaces and can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet long, while the Lynx has 35 single spaces and four double spaces, and can accommodate RVs 22 feet long up to 35 feet long.

Campers enjoy the area’s remote air while it sits just 2 ½ miles south of Costco, though the weekend crowds are too much for some.

Note: The 2022 opening of these campgrounds may be delayed by repairs to the recreation area’s potable water system

Granite Basin Recreation Area

Campground open April 1-Oct. 31

    Fee: $18-$36, plus $5 for each extra vehicle

    Click Here For Info About Granite Basin Recreation Area Camping

The Yavapai Campground here has 21 campsites with picnic tables, grills and fire pits and a maximum vehicle length of 40 feet. It’s convenient for day users at Granite Basin Lake and those venturing into the Granite Mountain Wilderness, and because it’s nestled within pinyon pines and junipers rather than ponderosas, it’s a bit warmer for those sun worshippers who’ve reeeeally been anticipating winter’s end!

Groom Creek Recreation Area

Campground open April 1-Oct. 1

    Fee: $10, plus $5 for each extra vehicle

    Click Here For Info About Groom Creek Recreation Area Camping

Lower Wolf Creek campground in this recreation area has 20 campsites, and RVs up to 40 feet long can park there. More isolated and cheaper than the other National Forest Service campgrounds, it’s first-come, first-serve only, with exact change required for those paying with cash onsite.

Campers enjoy the setting on Wolf Creek underneath ponderosas and live oaks, and some features remain from its original construction by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
