V15E10: Back to Prescott for Upgrades

This is probably the closest, free, dispersed campsite to downtown Prescott, Arizona, located just inside the boundary of Prescott National Forest. The pros are the lovely wooded setting, it’s clean and seemingly safe, accessible by any vehicle, satisfactory cell service, and convenience. The cons are that it’s along a very dusty, high-traffic forest road. Privacy is poor, during the weekends, partiers speed by to head up into the mountains. It’s completely primitive, with a stone fire ring, and enough room for two or three vehicles. I recommend this site for the convenience factor, however there are other much nicer campsites deeper in the National Forest if you’re looking for a nice place to spend a few nights.

Easily our favorite place to get pizza in Prescott. The owner is a self-proclaimed foodie, and passionate about high-quality pies. Located in the town square, it’s a very walkable destination. Stroll in, have a seat, and your lovely server will quickly become your bff as you engage in conversation and laughter while they take your order. It’s a great place to enjoy a date, that isn’t too pretentious, nor too casual. It’s just right, and so is the food.

A great destination for alcohol and comfort food. This is one of those destinations that doubles as both a market (in this case, a liquor market) and a dining room. Wonderful casual atmosphere and the food has tons of substance. You’ll leave with a full gut. Great place to hang with friends.

Fancy and kind of expensive for lunch or dinner, but the food is very well-crafted using high-quality ingredients. Shannon is raving about the fries, and the burgers are thicc and juicy. Casual atmosphere with patio seating in downtown Prescott. Definitely put this place on your short list.

Our favorite coffee shop in Prescott. Great atmosphere for both relaxing conversation or productivity on a laptop. The coffee is top-notch and this place made my list of favorite coffee shops. I’m there right now!
