Best RV Parks & Resorts near Dewey, AZ

Dewey area RV accommodations include several highly-rated parks in the Verde Valley region with year-round access. Verde Ranch RV Resort features 389 spacious sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Point of Rocks RV Campground in Prescott offers both 30-amp and 50-amp sites arranged within unique granite rock formations, though site quality varies considerably with uneven spacing. Sites throughout the Verde Valley are primarily level gravel pads, many accommodating large Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels with slide-outs. Distant Drums RV Resort provides the most favorable sites along its perimeter for motorhomes, while fifth wheel sites are arranged more tightly in the middle and front sections. "The motorhome sites are nicest as they are along the perimeter with a view. The large 5th wheel sites are tighter and make up the middle of the park," noted a camper about Distant Drums.

Most RV parks in this region maintain clean, modern facilities with swimming pools, clubhouses, and reliable Wi-Fi, though signal strength varies by location. Larger resorts like Verde Valley RV and Camping Resort include premium sites with upgraded full hookup utilities for an additional $5-7.50 nightly fee. Sanitary dump stations are available at most parks, with Willow Lake RV Park, Verde Ranch, and Distant Drums all offering on-site sewer connections. During summer months when temperatures rise significantly, pools and shade become critical amenities, with several reviews mentioning limited natural shade at parks like Verde Ranch. Pet restrictions differ between facilities—most allow pets but may have designated exercise areas. Navigating to some parks requires attention to road conditions; a review of Point of Rocks mentioned "Roads are very narrow and spots are extremely tight. You must have some skill in backing up to get in these spots."

    North Ranch

    Good for One Night

    North Ranch is an Escapees RV park with large gravel lot and closely spaced sites. Full hook up with only 30 amp available. There is also another area for dry camping. This is a good place if just passing through and need to do some laundry and dump and fill and take a nice long shower. The sites are fairly close as most RV parks are, clean flat gravel sites. Nothing special but nothing much to complain about either.

    Road noise was constant as was ATV use as many of the campers had them. Covid restrictions in place and a mask is required.

    Amenities: 

    2 laundry areas with washer dryers for$1.25/each open 24/7 

    Dog walk and fenced in dog park near the main road 

    Showers Cactus garden walking area- very beautiful and well care for 

    Propane on site 

    Recycling bin- mixed recycling accepted 

    Garbage dumpster 

    Dump station(was closed when we were there) 

    Exercise room 

    Back in sites are$23 for escapee members and$28 for non members. Pull through sites are a few dollars more. 

    Weak Verizon and AT&T with occasional streaming if you don’t mind waiting for buffering.

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Nice campground unless you are in the low rent district

    I was really looking forward to Cottonwood camp, outside of the Sedona area.  The campground had excellent reviews so we booked three nights.  There are many different sections of the park and your experience overall could be impacted by which site.  We were in site 141 close to the main activity room.  These sites are very packed and there are a lot of long-term guests and it looks like it.  The other sites throughout the park are better, especially the ones on the ridge with a view.  

    The other challenge was almost zero connectivity even using a hot spot.  I work remote so this was a challenge and I had to take work calls in the public lodge.  The lack of WiFi at all limited our other devices as well.  Not an option if you work on the road.

    The area however has amazing natural beauty, parks and lots of hikes.  Some are dog-friendly, but some are not, so recommend checking.  The town of Sedona has changed over the years with many more tourists, traffic and high prices.  I would likely not return or stay somewhere more in nature, but with cell service as well.

    Sedona View RV Resort

    Amazing Views of Sedona Red Rocks

    The Sedona View RV Resort is a really clean and safe Park. The Staff is friendly and help you any way they can. They have Full Hookups with 30 & 50 amp service. They do charge a KWH fee for electric for a monthly stay. However their monthly charge is NOT high like other Resorts in Camp Verde.

    They have a shower and laundry house. As of March 2021 showers are still closed due to Covid 19. Laundry is open.

    Most sites are level but there are some on the outer parameter that you’ll have to work a little magic. Inner sites are fine.

    If you like hiking, this is right next to the National Forest with a trailhead right in the Park.

    Quiet at night. Watch the moon rise over the mountains.

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    A Good Basecamp to explore Sedona

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 3 Local Attraction Proximity: 5 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 5 Customer Service: 4 Cleanliness: 4

    Verde Ranch RV Resort is a newer RV campground located about 30 minutes South of Sedona. It offers lots of amenities including a big, lovely pool, laundry facilities, a decent sized workout room, a community center, pickle ball courts and more. In the age of COVID, a lot of these amenities are closed or restricted but we were able to use the pool on our visit. They offer different levels of sites based on price but we didn’t see much differentiation based on the price levels. We chose a covered site through their easy online reservation system as we were visiting in the dead of summer. We weren’t super stoked on our selection once we arrived. Our hookups were in the very far back corner of the space so we needed to choose between a small sliver of shade provided by the solar cover or the reach of our dump hose. Not ideal. We seemed to be in one of very few spots with this weird location for hookups. The end spots of the shaded area are hardly covered so it might not be worth it to you because these spots are pretty close together with no privacy in between sites. All sites seemed nicely wide enough to allow slide outs and big rigs. Plants between sites are all very newly planted and so don’t offer privacy yet.

    From what we were able to access, the grounds seemed very clean and well maintained. The online reservation process was easy though it was hard to get ahold of the office prior to and upon self-check in. Staff we did encounter were friendly and, though there are a lot of rules, there was no policing.

    The biggest draw for these grounds was proximity to Sedona (30 min), Montezuma’s Castle (10 min) and Tuzigoot (25 min). We enjoyed a visit to all 3 within our 2-day stay. We enjoyed our stay and the awesome pool in the desert heat but next time we might opt to stay a little closer to Sedona.

    Old Airstrip Camping & Staging Area

    Free and Beautiful!

    We have a 4WD truck, so we were able to get past most of the RVs and toy haulers, but they all seemed like family friendly people! The burros are no joke! You can hear and see them all around you. We also heard a few coyotes right after dusk which was cool. We had our two dogs with us and just kept them on the leash so we had no negative cactus experiences... Overall, a really cool place to be even if you don’t have an OHV. We got in around 6PM and were able to find a secluded spot with a fire ring already there, no problem.

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    Take a break and relax at this resort!

    GREAT RV park for big rigs. Very nice pool, great dog park with dog pee pads of turf all over the park (my dogs appreciated that over peeing on the gravel! Ha). We weren't super thrilled we paid so much for a back-in site to the Verde River when the river wasn't very full or the site very close to it. They nickle-and-dime you, even for an optional picnic table! But the pool and club house were beautiful, so it felt like a really nice break from the typical campgrounds. Truly a resort.

    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. 👍🏻

    Zane Grey RV Village

    Beautiful park!!

    What a great park!! The staff is awesome, the park is extremely well kept, they have lots of shade sites and big rig friendly. 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! There is a walking trail and a dog park and only about 7 miles from Bashas. I like the back of the park where we are so you dont get any road noise., but still theres not much traffic, especially in the evening. Would definitely come back again!

    Rio Verde RV Park

    The nicest and most accommodating staff EVER

    The people who manage this park could run Disneyland. Very friendly and helpful. The amenities of the park are very good. Full hookups, laundry, WiFi and ice available. The down side is, the trees are few and so is the shade. We were here in November, but I could see this place getting HOT in August. It has been reported the park is near a major highway, but our spot at the back of the park is very quiet. These folks are super dog friendly. Will definitely be staying here again.


Guide to Dewey

Dewey's RV parks sit at an elevation of 4,500-5,000 feet in Arizona's central highlands, offering milder summer temperatures than lower desert regions. The area's natural transition zone between high desert and pine forest creates distinct seasonal camping patterns, with April-May and September-October typically providing optimal camping weather. Area campgrounds range from basic amenities to resort-style facilities with organized activities.

What to do

Verde River access: Verde Valley RV and Camping Resort provides direct river access that campers frequently mention in reviews. "River access is available at site C which we stayed at and our furbabies loved it!" notes Rebecca N. The river offers opportunities for cooling off during warmer months.

Hiking trails: Multiple hiking opportunities exist within short distances of campsites. "The off leash dog park, pickleball court, and hot tub/pool are just a few to name that we use!" explains Brodie D. about Verde Valley. The resort also features hiking trails with river access directly from the property.

Local attractions: The region serves as a central base for exploring multiple destinations. "It's only 30 minute drive to Sedona and the drive is pretty. Worth it and enjoyable," mentions Brian P. from his stay at Distant Drums RV Resort. Most campgrounds position visitors within 30-45 minutes of Sedona, Jerome, and Prescott.

What campers like

Resort amenities: Verde Ranch RV Resort earns high marks for its comprehensive facilities. "This resort boasts impressive amenities, including a sparkling pool, a well-equipped rec room, close proximity to sightseeing attractions, paved full hookup sites, and easy access to the Verde River," states Brad B. These higher-end facilities often compensate for limited natural shade.

Social activities: Many parks coordinate regular community events. "On the weekends they have a wonderful food truck that also serves espresso drinks and fresh pressed juice!" shares Brodie D. about Verde Valley. Activities vary seasonally, with more offerings during cooler months.

Quiet locations: Despite highway proximity, several campgrounds maintain relatively peaceful environments. "It's a beautiful setting with a huge variety of sites. There's a mix of full timers and daily/weekly visitors," explains Steve N. about his Verde Valley experience, highlighting the balance between accessibility and tranquility.

What you should know

Site selection strategy: Point of Rocks RV Campground and similar properties feature significant variation between sites. "We had a premium site which was amazing - great views, high quality hookups and extremely clean showers," reports Wipeout21 T. Site selection becomes particularly important for longer stays.

Temperature considerations: Summer heat impacts comfort significantly. "You are only 10 minutes from Cottonwood, 30 minutes from Sedona, 30 minutes to Prescott and an hour and a half to Phoenix," notes Thomas S. about Verde River RV Resort, emphasizing convenient access to cooler mountain towns during summer months.

Internet limitations: Connectivity varies widely between properties. "I had a T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon phone, and all were pretty much worthless most of the time. We paid $15 for a week of WiFi, but ended up asking for a refund as it was even more unusable than our phones," shares Steve N. about his Verde Valley experience.

Tips for camping with families

Pool access: Rain Spirit RV Resort and similar facilities provide swimming options important for family camping. "They have a pool, sauna, and rec/game room," reports Karan B., noting these amenities enhance the family camping experience, especially during warmer months.

Activity planning: Multiple campgrounds offer organized recreation. "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 Mstwister E. about Verde River RV Resort.

Pet considerations: Most parks accommodate pets but with varying facilities. "They have a larger laundry room and a small gym, pool and hot tub. The grounds are always well kept," explains Kloee S., highlighting amenities families typically prioritize beyond just pet areas.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Terrain throughout the region often requires adjustment. "Verde Ranch RV Resort in Camp Verde, AZ offers a pleasurable stay with several top-notch amenities, earning it a 4-star rating," explains Brad B., noting that despite quality facilities, site leveling remains important for setup.

Space considerations: Willow Lake RV Park receives praise for its layout. "We were packed in every which way for a few nights, but the park has cleared out a lot for the last couple of nights and we don't feel so much like sardines," explains Kathryn T., highlighting the impact of occupancy levels on comfort.

Seasonal staffing: Service levels fluctuate with seasonal demand. "We arrived late so it was very dark. The signage was very difficult to see and no one was available to help us find our spot," reports Jacquie N. about her experience at Sedona View RV Resort, emphasizing the importance of arriving during daylight hours.
