Upper Wolf Creek Group

Upper Wolf Creek Group Campground provides a quiet forest setting for groups of up to 100 people to camp and enjoy the outdoors. The historic town of Prescott, Arizona is just 8 miles away. This facility is set away from other developed recreation sites and offers town amenities, trails and lake recreation within minutes. Within the facility, campers can relax with a game of volleyball (net not provided) or horseshoes. Numerous hiking and mountain biking trails are found in the Bradshaw Mountains around the campground, and 15-acre Goldwater Lake is just a few miles away. Boaters, canoers and kayakers can make use of the lake's dock and boat ramp, and anglers try for trout, sunfish, crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish in the calm waters. A drive down unpaved Forest Road 97 reveals mountain views and passes through a burn scar from a 2002 wildfire. The group site has 13 picnic tables, five grills and one campfire ring. Trees are thinly spaced in some areas, allowing ample space for group activities, RV parking (up to 40 ft) and camping. Drinking water and hookups are not provided. The group area is set at an elevation of 6,000 feet in a ponderosa pine forest mixed with juniper, Gambel oak and native grasses, with boulders strewn throughout. A multitude of colorful wildflowers bloom in the spring and during the summer monsoon season, and afternoon thunderstorms are possible from late June through mid-September. The forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and visitors may have the chance to spot deer, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, fox, rabbits, lizards, snakes and birds. This site is a convenient camping spot for groups who reserve the Groom Creek Schoolhouse day use picnic area nearby.
