most moderate northern arizona bouldering

looking to take some friends on a bouldering trip in august. need somewhere cool we can drive to from local and thinking flagstaff where i've always wanted to go. priest draw is on my list and i had read lake mary was easier but now i'm reading exploratory and overgrown? anywhere else to have fun on v2s? also best sport in the hard 10 easy 11 range?
and where to camp?

so i guess that 3 questions :)

If you are looking to spend a day or two, there should be enough V0-V3s in Priest Draw (Brain Boulder, Triangle Boulder, Bat Roof)to keep you busy. Good place to camp is about a mile down the dirt road to Priest Draw (Crimson rd) you can take a left on a gravel road which has loads of free camping (you also get cell service there).

thank you Dominic I was hoping that but it did not look like that :)

The Pit is right across the highway from Priest Draw and should satisfy your desired climbing needs for a day. Also, Kelly Canyon is in the same general vicinity and has a good selection of moderate boulder problems. Not sure of the access situation right now but I'm sure someone could fill you in.

Priest Draw is definitely a must-see. If I were looking to do a big multi-day bouldering trip, I don't think I'd choose Priest. My tendons just take an absolute beating there, and I can only pull so much on roofs. I love roofs, but I typically only want to seriously work on one or two roof problems during climbing trips. The Flagstaff area is incredible though and it's seriously one of my favorite towns in America. The people and climbers are very relaxed. I spent two days at Priest and found several groups who were willing to let me join their group.

Spend a day at the Winslow Wall for good sport, it is the best in the Flagstaff area ((1 hour drive) and climbable in summer if you chase shade. Not a ton in the range you are looking for, but enough for a few days. If you do go to the Pit, there are plenty of good climbs. Stay on the classics - quality deteriorates quickly there. However, in your range the Swiss tower has some excellent options.
If all you want is bouldering, there are many areas on many different types of rock in town. Priest Draw is limited in the V2 range, it tends to be hard (and sandbagged until you adjust to the style). Kelly canyon is great quality sandstone with enough moderates. Mt. Elden dacite (sharp and not as good) is literally in town and makes a good change of pace, as does Buffalo Park - again, no destination but a handful of entertaining problems with limited approach.
