    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    You're not there for the camping

    If the sites had a little more privacy, I'd give five stars. Whenever I take my family, I remind myself I'm not there for the actual tent camping, I'm there for everything else the state park offers. There are about eight small cabins as well. This park offers a much needed break from the Arizona heat in the spring and summer months. The "lakes" are really more like ponds but plenty large enough to fish in as is the Verde River, running through the park. Make sure to go down and take a dip during the warm seasons. They've recently improved the playground for young ones and offer horseback riding as well. Facilities are always clean. If you're tired of camping food, drive down the road to Cottonwood and be sure to visit Larry's Antiques (if you're into that of course).

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Nice state park for camping

    We stayed at this campground for 3 nights in mid-October and recommend this state park for camping in the Sedona area.

    Pros:

    -all sites in the Blackhawk Loop where we stayed had a level pad for tents (either small gravel or a wood platform), picnic table, and fire pit (though they could not be used due to a fire ban

    -can easily fit 2 smaller tents on the tent pad or 1 jumbo family tent

    -good amount of shrubbery in between sites so it didn't feel like you were right on top of your neighbors

    -driveways have space for 2 cars if needed

    -shower house was fairly clean and had hot showers

    -dishwashing sink behind the shower house was a nice perk

    -usable cell phone service (T-mobile)

    -no tent sites with power if you need that.  We filled up an air mattress using the outlet in the bathroom which worked fine.

    Cons:

    -sites really vary in terms of how far back from the road they are.  Our site (122 in the Blackhawk loop) was a bit back from the road and had plenty of shrubbery, but some don't have as much privacy

    -not a ton of water fill up stations, but our loop was pretty small, so it was fine

    -you have to pay $15 per night for a 2nd car, which was a little steep, but given the campground is reasonably priced, this was fine

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Not as expected.

    Came out for some camping, hiking, and fishing with the extended family. Wasn’t much of any of this at this campground.

    Camping area was without any shade and made up only a few square meters of the complex. Site caters to the RV crowd, which is just fine as some of our group was looking for this and others rented a nice little cabin along the river. Only problem was that the facility was overrun with the annual crowd, which spent more time glaring and sneering, than minding their own. A few nice souls about, but more of the bitter old timers.

    Hiking trails were advertised, but they were short and combined to less than 3km. Many were partial trails as they are undercutting them to add more RV parking. Hiking along the river is possible with the gate code you can get from an employee, but it is overgrown and not suited for small children.

    Fishing is possible with a hike of less than a 1km and following the wash makes this a good morning activity for the entire family. A friendly resident was kind enough to hike the trail with us, showing us the waterfalls and fishing holes.

    The facilities themselves, were actually quite nice. As expected from a retirement complex, there were daily activities, pool, billiards, shuffle board, and a Wi bowling league. Plenty of coffee, clean restrooms, free WiFi, and friendly staff were to be found every morning at the main lodge. Well maintained roads, cabins, and grassy areas(marked common areas, but locals claim them as their own and attack like rabid dogs if you walk on them), made the place acceptable.

    Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort

    Peaceful Family Fun

    Great place to RV and camp along Oak Creek! Plenty of space between sites. Ours backed up to LoLo Mai spring and a waterfall (spot 15). But bring your bug spray after dark. Short walk to 3/4 mile of creek frontage with out having to leave the park. Kids have a pool, playground in good shape, DVDs to rent for free and a general store where they can spend money on ice cream ($1.50 for a popsicle). Bring a bike for them to ride around the large campground. Scooters don’t work on dirt roads. We had a 32 foot class C, 30 amp full hook up back in spot. Hs to level about 2.5 inches in the front. Spots are well maintained with table, grill, fire pit. Ours had a concrete patio. Although I saw some RV sites did not. Tent sites don’t have patio either. Dust level is moderate. It’s Arizona, am I right?! They use sprinklers to wet roads and play areas to keep dust down.

    We had 4 kids and one large pit bull with us. We were charged extra with the dog. Required to stay 3 nights. $87 a night with tax. Well worth it.

    Showers and bath are clean. Laundry has one washer and one dryer working. Did not use them. The creek is the main attraction. No need to leave the campground for entertainment. Will stay again.

    Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort

    Nice oasis in the summer heat

    We stayed here in June which is a hot time to camp in Arizona. This campground has Oak Creek running through it which is a great place to cool off. We stayed here while we visited Sedona which is not too far away. Mature trees provide shade at most sites. The mosquitoes were pretty bad which sometimes just a part of camping near water. Clean restrooms and showers.

    Apple Creek Cottages

    Enchanting

    Apple Creek Cottages is a hidden gem in the heart of Prescott. You’re surrounded by trees with a creek right next to the cottages. The cottages are old, but were still cozy, with a full kitchen and “fire place.” We had a bonfire out back near the creek and enjoyed the rustic decor. In the morning we made breakfast and sat out back again enjoying the views. Not too pricey, our new place to go in Prescott.

    Page Springs Resort

    Misleading loss

    Information listed on website is not accurate. Some of the sites you had to park across the road from your camp. Had to pay for WiFi per day and even then it was spotty snd only worked for a short time. No firewood, no fires allow and no fire pits. Not all sites have picnic tables (our didn’t). Sites were right on top of each other (good thing other campers where friendly) Dump station was about 20 feet from our site and sometimes the smell was so bad we had to take a walk. Ask to move site and the host was not very nice in telling us no. When we booked our site we had originally plan for 7 nights on our trip we made some changes. When we arrived we asked to cancel our last night. Which they don’t do and the host was not nice about letting us know this. Besides the misleading information the location was pretty and peaceful.

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Perfect place to stay to visit, Montezuma Castle and Tazigoot NM

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park is a perfect place to stay if you want to visit, Montezuma Castle National Monument, Tuzigoot National Monument, Old Cottonwood, Red Rock State Park, Jerome and the many Sedona attractions. Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot are pet friendly although if your pet doesn’t like stairs Tuzigoot may be a little more difficult walk for them. The price of one ticket covers both National Monuments and Tuzigoot is only 4 miles from the campground. Within the campground, there are three lagoons and miles of trails to hike or bike. The bathrooms are well maintained, and the showers had great water pressure. We were in site 91 which was a large site and level, but the metal picnic bench needs to be replaced. Brush between the sites adds privacy. Staff and the camp host were all very friendly and helpful. Firewood can be purchased for$8 cash from the camp host. The dump station is on the way out of the park is easy to access. Overall, we enjoyed the park. It was very quiet and a great location to multiple attractions.

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Just perfect

    We planned a last minute trip for a first time visit to this state park. We can not say enough great things about it. You have electric and water hook ups. Each spot doesn’t have a lot of room in between but this didn’t bother us as we enjoy hiking and being out and about. There is a table, fire ring and charcoal bbq grill. There are 20+ different trails throughout the park. There is 3 small lagoons that are stocked with fish. Dump station available for free if camping in park. I highly advise reserving a spot online. Playground with zip line down by the lagoons and many day use areas available.


Guide to Dewey

Cabins near Dewey, Arizona range from rustic to deluxe, nestled in the Verde Valley's diverse terrain at elevations between 3,000-5,000 feet. Weather remains moderate during spring and fall, with summer temperatures reaching into the 90s and occasional winter frost at higher elevations. Cabin options vary from riverside retreats to pine-shaded accommodations within short driving distance to popular attractions.

What to do

River access activities: At Verde Valley RV and Camping Resort, visitors can enjoy the Verde River. "River access is available at site C which we stayed at and our furbabies loved it! Sedona is only 45 mins from here so an even bigger two thumbs up!" according to Rebecca N.

Fishing opportunities: Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground offers multiple fishing spots. One visitor notes, "Access to lakes, good fishing trouts," while another mentions the park has a "lovely fishing and paddling area" with "lots of covered picnic areas and shading trees along the water."

Explore nearby towns: From most cabin locations, visitors can explore historic towns within 30 minutes. "Nearby towns - Cottonwood, Jerome - have lots of shopping, dining options. Sedona is also not a far drive and beautiful," reports Gonzo A. Many cabins serve as convenient basecamps for day trips.

What campers like

Private swimming areas: Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort offers creek access that campers consistently rate highly. "Kids rode bikes all over. There's a store that sells a bunch of stuff," shares Maura, while Jordan H. notes, "There's a hot tub and swimming pool, a creek to swim and fish in, nice bathrooms and showers."

Winter accommodations: Cabin camping remains comfortable during winter months. One visitor at Dead Horse Ranch reported, "Outstanding one night stay at the DHR Cabins. The family had an awesome stay. Cabins right on the river, quiet and spread out enough." Another camper mentioned, "Camped in november from the 13th to the 15th, not cold at all!!!"

Amenities beyond camping: Verde River RV Resort & Cottages provides resort-style amenities for cabin guests. Christina R. shares, "There was so much to do from mini golf, painting classes, live music, dinners, karaoke, and free breakfast 3 days a week, hot tub and heated pool." The cottages here offer more developed facilities than more rustic options.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin locations require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. At Dead Horse Ranch, one visitor noted, "Just 2 days beforehand, we booked our cabin on the campground website, the official Arizona State Parks site. The process was seamless, and we even got to pick our specific cabin out at no extra cost or fuss."

Bathroom considerations: Cabin bathroom setups vary significantly between properties. At Dead Horse Ranch, a reviewer observed, "They are just fine, but there are only 2 of them for 8 cabins. Instead of having a bathroom with stalls and showers, it is just two stalls total that include a toilet, urinal, sink, and shower in a big lockable room."

Internet limitations: Zane Grey RV Village and other cabin locations have limited connectivity. "You do have to pay extra for internet if you want to stream or work, but their price is very reasonable and being in a nice quiet area is worth it!" notes Kloee S. Cell service is spotty throughout the region, particularly in canyon areas.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Verde River RV Resort receives high marks for family accommodations. "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!" reports a visitor with children.

Nature exploration options: Many cabins provide easy access to wildlife viewing. As Kathy B. describes at Dead Horse Ranch, "Spent the afternoon watching bluebirds in the trees outside my RV and woke up to cottontail rabbits hopping around." Families can enjoy short nature walks suitable for various ages.

Swimming alternatives: During hot months, water access becomes crucial for families. Jordan H. shares about Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort: "The swimming pool and hot tub are also a big hit. We hit a few wineries around the area that were great." Cabins near water features provide natural cooling options.

Tips from RVers

Weather considerations: Seasonal preparation matters for cabin stays. "The temperature was consistently 5 degrees below the towns of Camp Verde and Cottonwood," notes Cal B. about Rio Verde RV Park, highlighting the need to prepare for temperature variations.

Off-season advantages: Several visitors recommend non-summer stays for comfort and availability. "We stayed in the A section. We had a nice spot and an easy walk to the pool. Next time we want to check out the H section as they seem to have more trees and less light at night," shares Michael M. about avoiding peak crowds.

Supply planning: Most cabin locations offer limited on-site supplies. At the 50s Diner Backseat Bar & Motel RV Park, a visitor notes, "Very clean great food nice people easy access and you can walk to the dollar general store." Campers should plan provisions based on each cabin's kitchen facilities and proximity to stores.
