NOT family friendly...unless you don't mind your tiny humans seeing naked people wandering around. Other than that, awesome place to visit!! Dispersed camping right on the Verde River. The drive in from the highway takes about an hour on a dirt road and can be done in a standard clearance vehicle. However, the last stretch is rough and must be carefully maneuvered. If you visit during the week, it will likely peaceful and not crowded. Weekends are the opposite, with quite a few large groups of loud party types. Vault toilet; no potable water; no firewood; no tables and closest store is in Camp Verde. The 1.5 mile hike from the campground to the hot springs is absolutely worth the effort. You will have to cross the river, so don't take anything that can't get wet.
