This is the absolute BEST video on camping near Prescott that I have found. I have been wanting to visit Prescott (from Tucson, where I live) and now I have a specific destination. Thank you!
That javelina footage was amazing! Yeah, they come into Tucson. So do LOTS of coyotes, and the occasional mountain lion. Right in town. They come in via the washes. And washes are everywhere. Also tons of bunny rabbits breed in town. That's the prey they are after in town. Where I live, which is very urban, if you go out for an early morning walk, you will see an unbelievable number of bunny rabbits.
Now that’s my kind of camping! Your get-away to this campground and Granite Basin lake was so relaxing and welcoming. It has been on my radar for a while…now a must do! Thanks for sharing and take care always 😊
Thanks! It's a great place to escape to when temps are getting a little toasty in the Phoenix valley. And well, just a nice place to escape in general. 😄
You said don’t get excited but I got very excited when I heard cocktails! Cashews and vanilla cream soda. Yum! With that scenery, it’s beautiful!!! I’ve got the fever and the only cure is more hiking and camping. Campstoves have come a long way! Ahhhhh🥰❤️👍
No shortage of hiking and camping opportunities around Arizona, is there? 😄 And where there's that, there's opportunities for cashews and cream soda. 😂
There are a few food items my friends and I call crack,one of them is Trader Joe’s chocolate sea salt covered caramels! Thanks for another great video and watch out for those javelinas!
Great Great video, love the clips of your campsite and hanging out. You have all the tools for this Chanel to take off at some point. Great footage, great personality and great locations. Keep at it and you'll figure out the format...I'll stick around until it does!
Wow what a lovely site lake was so beautiful and your favourite trees to smell 😊 but how scary those havalina are they was definitely stalking you 😱 just be careful Glen. Would missing my cactus atlas 🌵 videos babes 😜😍
Great video at that lake they filmed creep show 2 “The raft” long ago. Also site 9 is electric 50amp we love that campground. You got lucky seeing all the wildlife our pets must scare them away. Happy camping❤️
Thanks for this great video! I'd be happy to pitch my tent at any of those campsites. I hadn't heard of javelinas before, but I have seen peccaries at the zoo here. Some campsites in this part of the world (Australia) won't allow the use of petrol or diesel powered generators because of the noise they make. Nevertheless, that granite mountain scenery is probably worth a few inconveniences.
Most here thankfully have hours they aren't allowed and there ARE a few campgrounds that don't allow them (or have designated no generator zones) so it's possible to avoid the noise if simply tent camping and looking for a peaceful escape. 😄
Not here either. 😂 The problem is filming always is priority. Thankfully this campground was only a couple hours away from door to camp set up so leftovers worked out well. 😄
What a lovely campground! I'm sure it must be extremely popular. Loved your javelina sightings. Tell Amy to stop sending such yummy food. I'm sure the critters could smell it.
We've never run into javelina in the wild, but I always wanted to see some until last year when I was in Tucson and I saw a news report on someone who was attacked by them. They even killed one of the woman's dogs. Now, I'm good with not running into them. The campground was great though. That lake is amazing.
Not uncommon to see javelinas up where we live wandering the washes in the neighborhood actually. We've been encountered them when out walking around. In addition to them knocking over trash cans one night and rooting up succulents in the yard. They usually will leave you alone unless there's babies nearby but yeah, they certainly can attack if provoked. Pesky critters for the most part. 😄
This is super random but I’d love Amy’s recipe! I subscribed a couple weeks ago and have been working my way through the videos. It’s so relaxing to watch you go adventure! Thanks for all the effort that goes into this project you two.
Awesome! Thank you so much! 😄 And not at all random! I came across the recipe here: damndelicious.net/2020/06/22/swedish-meatball-pasta/ It's definitely a tastes better than it looks on video reheated the next day at a campsite sort of food. I actually haven't made the recipe in a while. I might have to next week so I appreciate the reminder about it! Somehow I totally forgot about it. 😅
Thanks for sharing, taking my kids this weekend. Question do they allow kayaks? I read only paddles or motor boats. But didn't mention kayaks... I love how close is from phx...❤️ beautiful
It is indeed a lovely quick getaway from Phoenix! 😄 Unfortunately didn't take note of whether kayaks are allowed or not. I imagine a ranger could answer that. I believe there a number to call in recreation.gov.
Well Glenn you found Another wonderful place. I'd be spending day's there. So much to look at & enjoy. Oh PLEASE tell me there was a NO NOISE Ordinance after 8 or 9. Generators Drive me nuts & have actually had a Park Ranger with the Help of other Campers shut down a generator Twice then they were asked to leave. The Ranger said they hated to kick people out butt when 4 Families Tired Aggravated & Standing together at 12 AM, 1 AM & 2 AM, the Ranger really had no choice Especially when we walked him over to the Campers with the generator & Unplugged it. The idjit came barreling out of his camper yelling UNTIL he seen ALL of us standing behind the Ranger at 2 AM. Needless to say NONE of US moved Until he packed up & Left as we all Clapped & Waived Goodbye. Was there Any signs informing campers of the javelina's? They do look just like Wild Boars. Ahhhh yes nothing better than leftovers. Keep it up Amy we NEED y'all to keep showing us these Wonderful Places. Summer is going to be a bad one this year & after seeing those javelina's think the Garmin inreach is sounding better & better.
Looks like quiet hours are between 10p and 6am. 🤷♀️ Your story is insane! I'm not sure how polite I'd have been if at 2am that nose was still going on. Tents don't have any soundproofing... I'd be going nuts. 😮
Yeah that was a rough start to the weekend@@CactusAtlas. Sad thing is we watched & heard the other campers complaining & we Really tried to be nice at first after 10. 11 rolled around & I was the first to ask them to turn it off, then an older guy kinda yelled at them few times Then a Mother followed by her husband almost got into it with the karen. I talked to the old guy & we talked to the family & agreed to go to the Ranger after 2 other families went & they followed us to the Ranger as well. Think the Ranger was more pissed he had to go unlock the gate to let them out. We could tell they knew each other from the tude we got from the Ranger. After that everyone slept in & had a Great Weekend & the Ranger stayed away from our loop the whole weekend. None of us knew each other either butt came together & had a potluck dinner Sunday night.
Glad you all got the generator offender to leave!! Solar anyone ? I was in the sequoias many years ago with my ex-husband and a group of friends. The group next to us made a campfire outside the campfire ring and they had guns we didn’t waste any time going to the Ranger who promptly kicked them out!!
Thanks for this! Two questions. Are there rattlers likely in those beautiful rocks during the day? I mean, would it be dangerous to poke around between them? Also, would this book up on the weekend? When did you come?
Rattlers typically hide out during the heat of the day but I'm not sure I'd go poking around too carelessly just to be safe. 😅 As for booking, weekends are usually more popular but looking right now it appears there's availability in the next couple weekends but is mostly booked.
This channel is completely underrated. There should be half a million subscribers. Thanks.
😅 Aw, thank you! That would be nice. Hope to get there one day but we shall see! In the meantime we'll just keep putting out videos. 😊
OMG the javalina!! I would be freaked out too!
This is the absolute BEST video on camping near Prescott that I have found. I have been wanting to visit Prescott (from Tucson, where I live) and now I have a specific destination. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😄

Where I live, which is very urban, if you go out for an early morning walk, you will see an unbelievable number of bunny rabbits.
We have a decent amount of wildlife in these parts too. The javalina will knock over trash, uproot succulents... you name it. 😅
I miss camping we haven’t yet gone this year. Clean restrooms make me happy!!!
I have to imagine there some beautiful campgrounds around New Mexico. Hopefully you'll get a chance soon! 😊
@@CactusAtlas 🤞🤞🤞
such a great video. thank you so much for filming and posting this video for all of us
It's our pleasure! We're always happy to entertain and inform as best as we are able. 😊
So beautiful.i was in prescott in feb.its so cool there.
Now that’s my kind of camping! Your get-away to this campground and Granite Basin lake was so relaxing and welcoming. It has been on my radar for a while…now a must do! Thanks for sharing and take care always 😊
Thanks! It's a great place to escape to when temps are getting a little toasty in the Phoenix valley. And well, just a nice place to escape in general. 😄
Don't forget to watch your feet as you watch the javalinas. :)
I have to congratulate you on putting out high quality, informative and interesting videos and I’m going to check them all out! Thanks! 😎
We appreciate that! Thank you so very much! 😄👍
You said don’t get excited but I got very excited when I heard cocktails! Cashews and vanilla cream soda. Yum! With that scenery, it’s beautiful!!! I’ve got the fever and the only cure is more hiking and camping. Campstoves have come a long way! Ahhhhh🥰❤️👍
No shortage of hiking and camping opportunities around Arizona, is there? 😄 And where there's that, there's opportunities for cashews and cream soda. 😂
@@CactusAtlas Yes! I’m glad the javalinas left y’all alone.
good video. i want to go camping near here, so thank you very much for this valuable video. much love.
Thank you! We're happy to be of any help and glad you enjoyed it. Happy future camping trips! 😊
That was wild 🤪 you were totally being followed 😬
I'm imaging a little bearded peccary saying, "You shall not pass!" and demanding meatballs. 😂
Nice👍 Good Stuff 💪🇺🇸
Beautiful campground. Nice share
Thanks! It's a great chance to cool off in the summer here. 😅
There are a few food items my friends and I call crack,one of them is Trader Joe’s chocolate sea salt covered caramels! Thanks for another great video and watch out for those javelinas!
Trader Joe's has a great number of things I would classify as crack. 😅 Thanks for watching. 😊
Sweet. I live in a 22ft. Tiny House on wheels. This looks like a good place to visit. Plenty of room for my house.👍🤯💕💪🇺🇸
Lots of happy campers (haha!) at this campground for sure. It's a great little getaway. 👍
I really like your channel. Sometimes I can only get out to camp in AZ in the summer…so I like sites 1 and 3 for shade.
Shade in the summer is absolutely a must. 👍 So happy that you're digging our channel!
“They’re blocking my way to my campsite”. LOL….I’m sorry! Just struck me as funny;)
"Hand us your meatballs and no one gets hurt." 🤣
@@CactusAtlas 😂
Great Great video, love the clips of your campsite and hanging out. You have all the tools for this Chanel to take off at some point. Great footage, great personality and great locations. Keep at it and you'll figure out the format...I'll stick around until it does!
Wow! Thank you so much! We both don't plan on stopping any time soon. Happy to have you with us! 😄
@@CactusAtlas YES make more videos :)
Great video! I appreciate your info!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Yup, I think the javelina heard you going on about Amy's meatballs and were bound and determined to try them 🤣 Definitely a beautiful part of AZ!
So good, right? And yes... I think they were definitely looking for some scraps from campers. 🤣
Wow what a lovely site lake was so beautiful and your favourite trees to smell 😊 but how scary those havalina are they was definitely stalking you 😱 just be careful Glen. Would missing my cactus atlas 🌵 videos babes 😜😍
Hahah! I just have to not send Glenn camping with anymore home cooking. Though maybe some of the javalina are fans of hot dogs. Ya never know! 🤣😂
Looked and probably smelled delicious far too tempting for piggies 😂🤣
Love your video's! Good info
We appreciate that! Thank you so much! 😄
New sub ! Liked 👍✌️🤭
Great video at that lake they filmed creep show 2 “The raft” long ago. Also site 9 is electric 50amp we love that campground. You got lucky seeing all the wildlife our pets must scare them away. Happy camping❤️
Fantastic to know! We have never done RV camping so there's a lot of things we don't know about or think of. Really appreciate the info about that. 😊

Delicious food! I am not a creative camp cook
Not here either. 😂 The problem is filming always is priority. Thankfully this campground was only a couple hours away from door to camp set up so leftovers worked out well. 😄
What a lovely campground! I'm sure it must be extremely popular.
Loved your javelina sightings. Tell Amy to stop sending such yummy food. I'm sure the critters could smell it.
Haha! No worries. Glenn went on his recent camping trips without any home cooking to entice the wildlife. 😂
@@CactusAtlas I was actually looking forward to hot dogs.
😂🤣 No telling if there's more on this recent trip. I'll find out when he gets back. 😅

Crazy! Sounds like the guy might have done that in the past. 🤔 But cool about the potluck! Guess it gave some dinnertime conversation. 😂

Would think solar would be included on every rv nowadays @@laureljaneg. Some people can't go without their ac's & tv's anymore.
New sub! Liked 🙏👏😎😉
Thank you! Welcome aboard! 😄
That generator would drive me nuts, I don't go camping to listen to nature being drowned out by tourist that can't go without TV and AC for a night
I hear ya. The noise can certainly ruin an experience.

You can find filming dates in the description of all our videos. 👍
