About

National Forest

Coconino National Forest Recreation

Overview

Cave Springs sits in the scenic Oak Creek Canyon and is one of Coconino National Forest's most popular campgrounds. The campground is nestled in a forested canyon near the town of Sedona, Arizona, and its famous red rock cliffs. The scenery is unmatched, the stream is stocked with trout, and swimming, hiking and birding spots are nearby.

Recreation

There are several hiking trails in the vicinity. Some lead up the canyon slopes to offer good views of the surrounding scenery. The creek is bordered with paths that lead along its picturesque course, offering great bird watching and fishing.

Facilities

Cave Spring is a large campground with 84 campsites, including one tent-only site. All sites have picnic tables, campfire rings and cooking grills. Token-operated showers, drinking water and vault restrooms are provided for convenience. The facility can host RVs, trailers and motor homes up to 36-ft.

Natural Features

The area is a heavily wooded, lush riparian zone. Campsites are located in a shady stand of ponderosa pines in the upper reaches of the canyon. Many of the campsites are located right on the banks of Oak Creek. The creek has crystal clear, cool water that is refreshing on hot summer days.

Nearby Attractions

The nearest town is Sedona, popular for its red rock vistas, resorts and shopping. One of Arizona's best swimming spots, Slide Rock State Park, is down the road. Campers can also explore the 1.8-million acre Coconino National Forest, which boasts a spectacular variety of scenery and outdoor activities.

Packed

Packed in like sardines. Spaces are pretty small. Literally got one truck barely. Nice hosts and next to the creek. If you like being next to 20-30 people then this is your place. Community camping for sure. They do have showers and keep the toilets pretty clean.

Hidden gem

Wow. This site was amazing. It's nestled in between the canyon and the highway with a river to the side. There are a lot of sites here and yet a lot of them feel secluded. There are beautiful tall trees for hammocking or wandering through as well as hikes right from camp.

The camp host was very friendly and put me on a wait list for a first come first serve as we showed up at 9am seeing if we could get some space when the whole lot was booked up. She called me at 11 and told me she had a spot available! Very lucky on this one.

They have showers and bathrooms as well as multiple fresh water spouts around camp.

I would come back here in a heartbeat. I only wish I could have stayed longer. 10/10

Beautiful area, tight spaces

This location provides ample hammock spots amongst very tall pines and canyon walls. This is best for tents, vans, or pop ups. The pads are very narrow and short, and many are less than 3 feet from neighboring pads. If a spot here says max vehicle length is 30 then you can be guaranteed to have a little less than 8ft x 30 ft on that pad.

We had reservations for E7 and spent one night there but the pad was 18" off level front to back and 6" off to the side. We had to park our tow vehicle by the entry and our neighbors cars were less than 5 feet from our camper's door. We were lucky there were cancellations in our group and could move to another site for the rest of the stay.

The camp hosts are friendly and helpful and very diligent in making this a great place for families.

My kids' favorite part was the soft sand base for the site. We made a small network of roads with their little construction trucks and created small fairy villages with makeshift sand walls.
