Great campground for finishing, swimming, soaking and hiking! Lots of activities within a short distance. The drive is about an hour on a dirt road, but this does not deter visitors. Depending on the season the campground can get full. Fossil Creek is nearby and does not have camping, so many hikers come to Childs. Verde Hot Springs is about a mile from the campsite and offers a few pools for soaking with an amazing view of the Verde River. Be prepared though, this is an area that attracts nudists, so if that's not your thing you may want to camp further to the east in the campground and avoid the hot springs.
