Best Glamping near Flagstaff, AZ

The high-altitude forests around Flagstaff, Arizona, make a good backdrop for glamping sites that balance comfort with outdoor living. Grand Canyon views are just a day trip away, while staying in accommodations far nicer than a basic tent. Dead Horse Ranch State Park has some of the better glamping structures in the area, with real beds and temperature control that regular campers don't get. At Homolovi State Park, you'll find safari-style tents with electrical outlets and better food than you'd cook on a camping stove. Unlike regular campsites, these glamping spots often have staff who help arrange activities or bring supplies you might need. Many glampers use Flagstaff as a base to visit the Colorado River while still having comfortable sleeping arrangements each night. The structures vary between locations - some places have tipis while others feature round yurts with solid walls. Most glamping sites are spaced well apart with trees providing shade and screening from neighbors. You should book at least 2-3 months ahead, especially if you want to come between May and September. Spring and fall have fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures for glamping. During summer's dry periods, fire rules can be strict, sometimes prohibiting even charcoal grills. Most glamping spots limit stays to 7-14 days maximum. Check if you need permits for hiking or other activities near your glamping site before arriving.

    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.

    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)

    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

    Excellent Location and Wonderful Staff!

    Location: The location of the campground is perfect for all of the Sedona activities. This campground is only a few miles from the popular Slide Rock State Park. It is also not too far from Flagstaff if you want to head further north to take in the lush pines of Northern Arizona. Campsites: The campsites were pretty good sized. They all come with a picnic table and fire ring. The campsites that are on the outside perimeter of the campground have more privacy than those on the inner loops. I wouldn't call them private though by any means. Campground Amenities: The Oak Canyon Creek flows through the campground which allows for fishing onsite. There is a large open area to play frisbee or catch. The bathhouse was clean, and costs $4 for a shower. The toilets are satellites. In the morning, these facilities are very busy. There is firewood for sale and a nice small store for necessities. Campground Staff: Everyone that I talked to was incredibly nice and kind. They were very helpful and knowledgable with recommendations on surround area activities.

    I will absolutely stay here again and I cannot wait for my next visit!

    Flagstaff KOA

    Ranger Review: Escape Campervans at Flagstaff KOA

    Campground Review

    The Flagstaff KOA is a great place to stay! And a great jumping-off-point to fabulous destinations.  We were visiting the Grand Canyon from Phoenix, so we were able to make it to the campground in about 2 hours (leaving after work) and then drive to and from the Grand Canyon the next day, since it is only an hour drive from there.

    The sites are pretty close together, but that didn’t really matter staying in our campervan.  We had all the space we needed. I especially loved the very clean bathrooms! Flushing toilets and free showers (with attached changing stalls) made for a very comfortable trip.  

    Our kid’s favorite was the Jumping Pillow.  It is this huge inflatable thing that the kids can jump all over and they wanted to do that constantly.  Super fun and easy entertainment.

    There was also a large playground and little go-kart style bicycles the kids could rent.  

    Our stay was really great and I highly recommend the Flagstaff KOA!

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get to test products from time to time.  Escape Campervans allowed me and my family to take our their Maverick van for the weekend.  Let me give you all the details:

    First of all, we LOVED traveling in this campervan!!  Driving in and of itself was wonderful. The back bench is very spacious, so our three kids in car seats/boosters had plenty of space.  I loved the huge passenger seat and could really spread out while we drove. The van was easy to handle and easy to maneuver. Even on little dirt roads and tight turns we had plenty of space (very unlike an RV).  

    Once we got to our campsite, it was dark out and 9 o’clock at night.  All the kids had fallen asleep on the drive. Normally this would be a huge pain, having to pitch our tents and unpack the cots and sleeping bags, and pack n’ play etc.  But we just pulled into our spot (these vans can park in tent sites too!) and my husband got out and popped the rooftop sleeper (takes 30 sec. to do), we shuffled the kids up top while I unfolded the inside bed.  Took us just a few minutes to get both beds up and ready to go. The kids were nestled into their beds in no time.

    My 4 year old daughter and I slept in the inside bed together, with my 1 year old son in a little pop-up baby tent at the foot of the bed.  My husband and 5 year old son slept in the rooftop sleeper. Everyone was warm despite the 35 degree nighttime temperature, and everyone slept through the night  (a FIRST for this family while camping!!).

    The back doors open to reveal a complete camp kitchen, with pump sink, propane stove, all the utensils, prep surface, solar powered fridge and plates/cups.  We cooked up some homemade fajitas with steak strips and peppers on the stovetop and it worked fabulously. We literally just pulled off to the side of the road in Grand Canyon National Park and made this delicious lunch.  The kids ran and played in the trees while I cooked. It was a special moment.

    I really can’t say enough good about the experience. We can’t wait to rent one again.  It made this trip so easy. Some things you don’t even think about, like how we all needed to change clothes at the Grand Canyon.  We just shut the curtains and were able to do that in a busy parking lot. In our minivan -- that would not have happened.

    Tons of storage space, smooth ride, comfortable sleeping, large back bench.  Great. Trip.

    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.

    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


Guide to Flagstaff

The Flagstaff area sits at approximately 7,000 feet elevation in northern Arizona, creating distinct camping seasons with temperatures 15-20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Ponderosa pine forests dominate the landscape, with overnight temperatures often dropping below 50°F even in summer months. Fire restrictions frequently limit glamping options between May and September when forest fire danger is highest.

What to do

Hiking the Arizona Trail: At Double Springs Campground, you can access the Arizona Trail directly from your site. "The tiny nearby creek can almost be heard from the site, and to the right there is a small field that the Arizona Trail crosses through. I made use of my time here by hiking both directions of the trail straight from the campground," notes Kaysha R.

Mountain biking: Fort Tuthill County Park offers extensive trail networks for riders. "Review for the activities only. Tons of fun stuff for the kids and adults. Bike park is a blast. Also have an adventure course and zip line. Bike park is free ropes course has fee. Also has an easy mountain bike trail around the area," says Bryan S.

Wildlife viewing: Bearizona is accessible from Williams Circle Pines KOA. "Camped in 32 Foot Class C. Easy to maneuver and great hooks ups. VERY Kid friendly. We to Bearizona, Rode go-carts, played mini golf," shares Dave R.

What campers like

Creek access in Sedona: Rancho Sedona RV Park provides water features not found near Flagstaff. "You can walk down along the creek and find some peaceful rocks for sitting on to read or contemplate. There are also a couple of hikes accessible 1/4-1/2 mile from the RV park," writes Kim G.

Winter accommodations: Arizona Nordic Village offers heated yurts for winter glamping in Flagstaff. "Nordic Village is the perfect place to stay after a visit to the Grand Canyon for some solitude. Flagstaff is seeing some snow in mid-November, and the yurt is so warm from the contained fireplace," reports Anne Marie A.

Tent camping with shade: Cave Springs Campground provides tall trees and water. "This campground has tons of sites to choose from many of them a short walk from the creek. There's a swimming hole on the creek nearby. The hosts are very helpful and keep the place looking really nice. It's an idyllic spot with sycamores, oaks, and pines," says Victor R.

What you should know

Train noise: Many Flagstaff glamping locations experience railroad noise. At Woody Mountain, one reviewer noted: "Well, we had planned to stay 3 nights. We'd been on the road and sightseeing for 2 weeks and wanted a couple chill-at-the-park days. It was beautiful with the tall pines. We left after 1 night. 1st, no fault of the rv park, trains ran on nearby tracks all night! Waking us on/off all night."

Restricted fire use: During dry periods, fire bans affect even glamping sites with built-in fire pits. One camper at Rancho Sedona RV Park mentions: "Laundry list of rules at this place, but never were an issue. The biggest was outdoor lights out and be inside by 10 pm."

Reservation windows: Most premium glamping sites fill 60-90 days in advance. At Village Camp Flagstaff, availability decreases in summer: "We have been here twice in a months time with grand kids. It is a great location to enjoy things to do in Flagstaff, Williams (mountain coaster) and even headed up to the Grand Canyon."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly attractions: Williams-Circle Pines KOA offers multiple activities. "Lots to do for kids. Nice wooded sites. Rzr trails in the area and close to lots of fishing. Town of Williams is a tourist adventure and Bearzona is a Blast!!" advises David G.

Educational opportunities: Children can learn about local wildlife at nearby forest locations. "We were here for a group event and had a great time. Sites were large and shady. Great temps," reports Christina S. about Fort Tuthill Recreation Area.

Weather preparation: Fort Tuthill Luke AFB Recreation Area offers multi-season options. "The military side of this campground has studio cabins, 2 bedroom cabins, yurts, and even hotel rooms for rent in addition to tent spaces. There is a nice office with coffee and hot chocolate, a fireplace, movies to rent, and various sundries for sale," explains Jason H.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Flagstaff KOA locations provide varying levels of privacy. "Tent sights are on top of each other and back up to other sites. Limited shade but showers included & picnic tables. Overall we had 2 great nights there. Convenient location close to supermarket, gas, gym, banks," shares Sable.

Utility limitations: Many glamping sites near Flagstaff have restricted water access. At Double Springs Campground, campers note: "The hosts warned us about the hammer noise from a water pump close by. My daughter's wanted to be near the water.. we heard the noise, but It didn't bother us."

Seasonal timing: Village Camp Flagstaff offers upscale glamping options with amenities. "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," reports Jennifer O.
