Prescott National Forest

Overview

The Prescott National Forest is made up of about 1.25 million acres and borders three other National Forests in Arizona: Kaibab, Coconino and Tonto. As a result, campers can look forward to plenty of space for exploring and breathtaking views for scenic viewing and photography. Half of the Forest lies east of Prescott and takes in the Black Hills, Mingus Mountain, Black Mesa and the headwaters of the Verde River and enjoys a Sonoran Desert landscape and warm atmosphere. And above the desert plateaus, Ponderosa pine dominates the landscape. Travelers can look forward to plenty of great activities at the park, including: white water rafting, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, aerial tours, ATV tours and wide open skies for sunset viewing and stargazing. Amenities at the park include: 2 historic cabin rentals, tent camping sites and RV sites with limited amenities like water, vault toilets and electrical hookups. Hope to see you soon!
