Directions To Friendly Pines Camp

As you enter Prescott westbound on
Highway
69 from I-17, or southbound on
Highway
89, the road will turn
into
Gurley Street. This is the main thoroughfare of Prescott. At
Mt.
Vernon Street, turn south (i.e. left). If you reach Jack in the Box,
you've gone too far. There is a Friendly Pines Camp sign on the southwest
corner. Mount Vernon St. then becomes the
Senator Highway; follow
the pavement up into the hills about 5 miles. Turn right at
Marapai
Road, and follow the pavement about 1/2 mile. Turn left on
Peter
Mackin Drive(dirt road), which will become
Friendly Pines Road as you cross
Groom Creek at the bottom of the hill. About 1/2 mile beyond the end of
the pavement, you'll see our large sign on the right. Turn in and follow
the pavement into camp!
