    Seligman-Route 66 KOA

    A must-stop when weary!

    We were super tired on our trip and happen to come across this cute TeePee at the site. We stopped and got one of their cozy little cabins, which had everything that we needed. There was a full size bed, a bunk bed, a desk and chair, a cute little porch swing, a fire pit, a water spigot and inside the cabin they also had air conditioning and a couple heaters. All we did was grab our sleeping bags and throw them on the bed. The cabin had outlets, so we grabbed our portable charger and fridge and we settled right in! The compound itself has a laundromat, a pool, a space for your dog to play and stretch out, a playground for the kids and a really great store that is pretty well stocked with just about anything that you could need. The staff was awesome!

    Village Camp Flagstaff

    An experience in itself!

    RV or tiny homes…this place is AMAZING. We were in the RV side very clean, level elite back in with a concrete patio. Picnic table AND propane fire pit provided. The clubhouse has a bar and grill with a GIANT patio, live music, a store, heated pool and spa, a large game lawn and trails behind. Backs up to a national forest. Bathrooms and laundry clean and convenient. Well organized and friendly staff. Cons: trains in the distance and some interstate noise but that’s to be expected. The camp is NOT right up on the interstate you just can see it from various sections of the camp. We only had one neighbor at our site since it was on the end which was nice. Would DEFINITELY stay again.

    Woody Mountain

    Fantastic wooded retreat

    Very clean and orderly campground, sites can vary is shape size and fitment . But most are shaded. Very nice tent areas, frequent trains but with no train horns(great background noise) . The roads in the campground are very confusing , arrive with daylight to spare and walk to you site before you try to turn down any roads. Fairly level dirt sites. WiFi is decent but a pay per service and you need browser access.

    During our stay we rented a 4 person cabin, while other family members that we were there to camp with had a pull thru spot for there 5th wheel.

    Our cabin has a queen size bed and a bunk bed, the room had a TV, picnic table. fire pit, swinging porch bench, and a heater, the rest rooms where a quick minute walk away.

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Great place with versatile activities to do for fun

    Their resort is the best one for the money.   Their bathrooms are designed for UNISEX so it is no gender issue and nice place to shower, etc. where the laundromats are in several spots.

    It has nice path for people to hike, fish, or explore in the wood.

    The pool area is nice for toddlers with all cool features to play, heated pool and spa with plenty of chaises. The community center has nice a pool table, snack bar where you can serve yourself free coffee, playing board games, and sometimes, they have fun activities with a small fee for kids or adults to do something creatively.

    It offers ATV/UTV to rent to explore around the towns (Cottonwood, Clarksdale, Sedona, and Jerome.

    It has tiny houses to rent for travelers who want to camp without RVs or tents.

    It is convenient from the highway with grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, RV services close by, and a local casino.

    It has two places close by where you can wash your RVs if necessary and on site wax service.   

    The staff in the office and maintenance were very friendly and professional ready to help

    Woody Mountain

    Great campground!

    We were only there for one night but the campground was clean and very well maintained. The office staff was very professional and made sure we knew exactly how to get to our reserved site. There is a restaurant on site that serves breakfast and lunch but they are closed Tuesdays so we can’t rate them since that was the day we were there. We had site 5, with full hookups and it had a small fence barrier to the roadway, which gave us some privacy from those walking or driving through the campground. The office and small store/restaurant was a very short walk away. Our site was also across the street from a small fenced doggy play yard, bathrooms and laundry facilities. We’ll definitely stay here in the future! It cost a bit more than other camp sites, but we was still glad we stayed there.

    Grand Canyon-Williams KOA

    Great place to stay outside GCNP

    We stayed here because it was very reasonably priced for a cabin when we were visiting the Grand Canyon. After a very hot day seeing the Canyon, it was great to return to the pool. There was also a hot tub (age 14+ only). The cabins didn’t have air conditioning but it got pretty cool at night and there was a fan so we slept great. Everyone was friendly. Nice large and clean bathrooms and showers. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to visit!

    Fort Tuthill Luke AFB Recreation Area

    Military campground in adjacent to a county park

    My family and I stayed here in a 34’ travel trailer for one night in late July. To get to the campground, travel thru the county park and follow the signs to Luke AFB recreation area. The campground is part of a larger complex that includes a lodge, cabins, and yurts. All amenities are shared so we had access to a large playground, basketball and volleyball courts, the store, and the bathhouse. The county park itself has playgrounds, an amphitheater, bike trails, and an awesome disc golf course. At each site is a picnic table and a fire pit, with hookups for electric and water. Our site was huge, but others can be a bit tight. Adjacent to the campground is the fairgrounds, which is bordered by an unattractive chain fence. The pump-out station was backed up and unusable while we were there. I’d say the best aspects are the price and the convenience to Flagstaff which is only three miles away. We would stay again.

    Cave Springs

    Ponderosa Pine forest, roadside campground.

    This campground is right off of the main road leading into Sedona. The showers are $4 each. The sites are relatively close in proximity. The bathrooms are vault style. Try and reserve a site away from bathrooms and road to reduce noise and light pollution. There are many trees which make hammock camping a favorable option. Beautiful creek runs along the site. Camp hosts are very friendly! Running water. Soft pine needle forest floor. Brisk temperatures in the night, 50's and high's in the 90's.


Guide to Chino Valley

Glamping options near Chino Valley, Arizona include several locations at elevations between 3,000-7,000 feet, providing varied climate conditions throughout the year. Temperatures fluctuate significantly with summer days reaching 100°F and winter nights dropping below freezing. Camp Verde locations sit at lower elevations compared to Williams options, creating a 15-20°F temperature difference between these camping destinations.

What to do

Fishing at Dogtown Lake: Located 45 minutes from Chino Valley, this Williams-area lake offers fishing for rainbow trout in a forested setting. "Decent fishing, plenty of crawdads to catch and eat during the summer months! They do have a boat ramp and we have brought our kayak before," notes a Dogtown Lake Campground visitor.

Explore Historic Williams: Just 7 miles from glamping accommodations, downtown Williams features Route 66 shops, restaurants, and western charm. "Williams is a cute small town. One of our favorite places to camp!" shares a Dogtown Lake camper.

Verde River activities: Wade, swim or float in the Verde River directly from camp. A Rio Verde RV Park camper states, "Pretty cool spot right on the rio verde river... Looks like if you had a shuttle car you could probably float the river to or from camp."

Visit Bearizona wildlife park: Located in Williams, this drive-through wildlife park showcases native animals including bears, wolves and bison. "Camped in spot 14, for 4 nights 5 days... Close to Bearizona, Williams," mentions a visitor from Railside RV Ranch.

What campers like

Scenic water access: Many locations offer creek or river frontage with swimming opportunities. A guest at Rancho Sedona RV Park shares, "The creek is lovely to sit in or swim in and chill down. It's walking distance from Sedona town, and also walking distance to some great trails."

Proximity to multiple destinations: Glamping spots serve as central hubs for exploring. "Great location to Sedona and Grand Canyon," notes a visitor to Thousand Trails Verde Valley.

Year-round availability: Unlike seasonal national forest campgrounds, several glamping locations operate throughout winter. "We went over Thanksgiving and had a splendid time... hot tub and heated pool. There are lots of trees and it's a great park to walk around," reports a Verde River RV Resort camper.

Natural surroundings: Even developed properties maintain natural features. "Tucked into Oak Creek canyon, surrounded by trees, red dirt mountain sides, and a creek this campground is stunning," explains a Cave Springs visitor.

What you should know

Highway noise impacts some locations: Several glamping spots sit near major roads. "There is a bit of road noise but nothing some ear plugs can't help with," advises a Rio Verde RV Park guest.

Early arrival recommended: First-come, first-served policies at popular locations mean planning ahead. "Next time we will do our best to get there as early as possible (noon is the earliest to check in)...as the spots are first come/first serve," recommends a Thousand Trails Verde Valley visitor.

Seasonal variations: Summer heat affects lower elevation sites while higher spots close in winter. "We'd go back in the fall or spring to hot in the summer," mentions a Thousand Trails camper about Camp Verde locations.

Varying cell service: Connection quality differs significantly between properties. "Cell reception and internet were terrible... We paid $15 for a week of WiFi, but ended up asking for a refund as it was even more unusable than our phones," reports a camper at Thousand Trails Verde Valley.

Tips for camping with families

Look for kid-oriented amenities: Some glamping resorts offer extensive recreation options. "We love this campground! We have camped here around 5 times and always had a great stay. They have a pool and hot tub, mini golf, playground, pickle ball court, clubhouse, and lots of crafts and activities for the kids!" shares a Verde River RV Resort visitor.

Consider proximity to kid-friendly attractions: Locations near wildlife parks and educational sites enhance family trips. At Williams-Circle Pines KOA, a camper notes: "Lots to do here. Camped in 32 Foot Class C. Easy to manuver and great hooks ups. VERY Kid friendly. We to Bearizona, Rode go-carts, played mini golf."

Plan for temperature changes: Higher elevations mean significant day-to-night temperature swings. "They provide a small heater for the cabins, so if you go during the winter season be sure to bring warm clothes and warm blankets!" advises a visitor to Grand Canyon-Williams KOA.

Tips from RVers

Site selection matters: Not all glamping sites accommodate larger RVs equally. "The sites are well-spaced, and the amenities include a pool, hot tub, 2 dog parks, hiking trails, river access and clubhouse," mentions a Thousand Trails Verde Valley visitor.

Different shade conditions: Tree cover varies by property and site location. "We stayed in almost a week here and our spot had a tree with nice shade. Level easy set up, full hookups and a cement pad out our front door," reports a Rio Verde RV Park visitor.

Accessibility considerations: Some glamping areas have challenging roads or site configurations. "Our site (10) backed up to a grassy site that could be another row in the future, but it was great for walking the dog," shares a Railside RV Ranch visitor.
