Best Campgrounds near Cornville, AZ

April: if there is dispersed camping its completely not apparent how to get to it. The area was nice though.

It’s as good as you want to make it , the joy is in the adventure . Perfect place to spend a day and hike to enjoy a sunset

Stayed here for quite a while periodically when I was working in the area. It's a great spot with tons of area to spread out, but pretty consistently noisy due to the ATVs (even in the middle of the night, especially on weekends). Roads are in good condition, even farther back towards the end. Had no problems with 2WD, even with a bit of snow on the ground. Verizon service was great.

There's two sections to this campground. The first section is a large parking lot that's fairly simple to park in for RVs. I tried the dirt path and was afraid that my bus would flip over, so I didn't park inside the forest part.

A lot of people park there. The other half of it is a lot of dirt paths with a lot of deep, very deep ruts. See the pictures.

By the way, I can hear more nature sounds than the freeway. So I'm not sure why another person said that you can really hear the freeway. It's not that obvious.

I saw several cowhoof prints, see the pictures, but as of yet I have not seen a cow.

The sites are a good distance from each other. Very quiet, picked up some trash but not bad. Under tall pines so solar is slow. Got good T-Mobile. Can stay 14 days dispersed.

The site looks nice, close to humphreys peak if you feel like climbing the highest point in AZ. I’m in a 24ft RV and had no problem driving on the dirt road, just go a little slow. There is a decent amount of trash left over from the last person, they bagged some of it up but it’s a little unappealing. I plan to clean it up but the rest of the sites may be similar. Seems safe and quiet tho. I’ll change my review if that opinion changes.

Quiet spot. The road is rough so 4x4 or high clearance is best. Beautiful sunsets and you can walk / drive down to cool off in the river at the Lawrence Crossing Campground/ River area.

Brought our motorcycle for day trip to Sedona. Conveniently located for the gorgeous drive. Camped in site 6, small trailer site. Came in after office hours. Paperwork, including park map, ready for us next to office. It was dark, so not super easy to find site, but little street signs helped. All dirt, so glad it wasn't muddy. All sites show wheelchair accessible, but don't see how. Charcoal grills and picnic benches scattered everywhere. Community grill area, laundry, clean bathrooms, dog park and newer playground. They are currently improving campground, so lots of tractor noise. We chose an electric and water only site. Dump station next to dog park/laundry/bathroom area. Didn't go to General Store, but they advertise a coffee and wine bar, and breakfast sandwiches. Right on Hwy 66, so a bit of traffic, and we could hear the train, but it wasn't bad. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing the planned improvements.

I enjoy coming here a couple days to get away from hustle & bustle of city life. It’s quiet, beautiful and temp is perfect but no amenities, nothing very barren most places have fire pits. There’s borough dam but can not camp within 1/4 mile of it. Though next time I need to be more prepared. I don’t have a refrigerator so back in town for more ice.

Large dispersed camping area -  the views are good and most people are friendly. Be prepared to get close and comfy in most of the spots. We got lucky and got more of a secluded spot, but the majority were packed in. Crowded all week until about Thursday, but by Friday night it was full again. The road to get to Nolan is long and full of washboards - but an easy drive and any car could do it. Nolan is one of the further back areas and there are several other "tanks" as you drive down the road. There are port bathrooms in the Nolan area.

Incredible place to camp. The views are some of the best you'll get for sure. The way up is bumpy and could prove difficult if muddy. We pulled a small 4x8 camper with a jeep wrangler and did okay. Several camp sites in the east pocket and it will feel secluded even if there are people around. No facilities so pack it in and pack it out. I can't express how beautiful it is up there. If you have the means and the chance - do it!

It took a lot of maneuvering to get level in my spot. Beer cans in the firepit, which, how really hard is it to pack out beer cans...? I'm facing my neighbor, but far enough away that it still feels private. I really wish I could find actual dispersed camping in the Prescott area, though. This driving down bumpy dirt roads hoping there's a place to stop somewhat sucks. I'm going to sit for a week (or try to) and move on.

Plenty of spread out spaces. We enjoyed our time. If there’s rain/snow it is muddy though

It was very private.  I don't think anybody was camping anywhere near me.  On the weekend, a few kids would drive up and drink at the end of a road that wasn't too far away, but they drove by.  I stayed for 3 nights and visited Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, Cottonwood, Montezuma Castle, Motezuma ('s?) Well.  The red dirt reminded me of the red clay in Georgia.

The sun can be brutal during the daytime, so if I stayed here again, I'd put up a good tarp for blocking it.  It was quiet at night, but not really dark enough for incredible stargazing. Likewise, one day, while hiking in Sedona, it seemed cool.  Sure enough, within 45 minutes, the sun was skin-burningly bright, and even my big hat wasn't enough to save me.  

A drive into town for necessities was just a quick jaunt (10 minutes?) 

If you want to get away to a site that is fairly secluded but still be near the trappings of town, go here.  Also, visit Sedona while you're here.

It did exactly what we wanted. Quiet, private, and a ba-jillion stars. We pulled a 16ft trailer with out issue. And by we, I mean my husband :)
