    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.

    Williams-Circle Pines KOA

    Great KOA with lot's of Amenities

    This KOA is very clean and has ton's of amenities on site, very nice showers and bathrooms, some of the amenities are mini golf, pan for gems, trails, go karts, peddle cars, playground, laundry room, store,small arcade, just to name a few, not all the amenities are free. Close to Williams,AZ one exit away, also close to Bearizona, Grand Canyon, Deer farm. They have everything from campsites that are primitive to a full group cabin to rent and everything in between.

    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.

    Verde River RV Resort & Cottages

    Close to I-17 but very nice

    The boss lady and I are full time and have stayed here multiple times. The staff and park are always amazing. The sites are level and most have a nice layer of rock on them.  There is an awesome pool and clubhouse, pickle ball courts, playgrounds and trails to explore. You are only 10 minutes from Cottonwood 30 minutes from Sedona 30 minutes to Prescott and an hour and a half to Phoenix. Passport America gets you 6 days at about $20 a night. Verizon and AT&T work awesome here. The laundry works on an app on your phone so no quarters to carry. Only downside is I-17 is way to close constant road noise when you're outside.

    Flagstaff KOA

    Mountain bike paradise

    Great campground. Helpful friendly staff. There is access to some great trails right behind the park. Sites are descent size but definitely not level but that is an easy fix. WiFi is not good so if you need to get work done or the kids need to zoom it may be difficult. Only downside was the inconsiderate neighbors with barking dogs left in the trailer while they were out and the Karen in the spot next to us asking us to turn down the music in our trailer at noon(yes noon)

    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!

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Beautiful Thousand Trails RV Resort

    The Thousand Trails Verde Valley RV Resort is a lovely Thousand Trails RV park located in Cottonwood, Arizona in the Verde Valley. The park is very well-kept and maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The premium sites are unbelievably huge in size and have upgraded FHU. The views from them are worth the extra $5-7.50 per night alone! They are level and gravel which makes parking a dream! The amenities here include pool, sauna, community room, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, tennis, mini golf, hiking trails, game room, pool tables, horseshoes, ping pong, dog runs, etc. The park is located just down the road from Cottonwood and the historic downtown district. There is a lot of things to do nearby including hiking trails, wineries and vineyards, shopping, historical sites, state parks and more! The only downside we have found to this park is the Wifi. Our signals have been pretty spotty here. This is definitely one of the nicer Thousand Trails parks we’ve been to and we will certainly be back. 👍🏻
