    Flagstaff, Arizona

    We are not a traditional campground. We are a gorgeous pine tree 3 acre homestead that we are opening up for campers. Our mission is to make camping simple and affordable for those wanting to check out beautiful Flagstaff but not have to purchase all the gear. Get the kids out of the house and off the phones... all you need is your clothes, overnight bag, and food/drinks.

    We rent 2 RVs and can set up tents for those that would like to experience tent camping. The RVs are approx. 30 ft with slide and fully equipped with bedding, towels, dishes, pots/pans, and coffee maker. The RVs are spaced far apart so more privacy and quiet. Please note: we are currently not set up for you to bring along your own RV.

    We are also offering open air corral panel stalls for those who want to bring their horses. Pets welcome (must be well behaved). Availability is limited since we only have 2 units and a few tents, so book now to reserve. We are in a fabulous location close to town and all that Flagstaff has to offer, but set in the trees for the tranquility and pines.

    Rancho Sedona RV Park

    Excellent well run site, great location, lovely trees and creek

    An exceptionally well run site, easy out of hours check in, very clean. We stayed in the adults only section near ish to the creek. Very shady, and really good sized spaces. The creek is lovely to sit in or swim in and chill down. It's walking distance from Sedona town, and also walking distance to some great trails. Would totally stay here again.

    I think the best in town,

    Nicely laid out park. Lots of trees and shade. The site we had was nice but the utilities were in the very back of the site. I had one extension on the sewer hose and almost need another.The water hose was a stretch too. Lots of rules at this place, one of them, no fires, propane, wood or otherwise.

    Great atmosphere Great vibes

    Tried this place on a whim. Lots of people pass by here but it has such a cozy homey feel we ended up loving it and extended our stay from one night to two nights. Lots of forest roads to play on near by as well if you have off-road toys.

    Lovely campground!

    I only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.

    Nice base to enjoy Sedona

    We really enjoyed our stay. We had an end/corner spot, which felt very spacious. The landscaping was nice with grass between units and trees in some areas. Felt more like a park than packed in parking lot feel of others. We also really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi.

    Lovely spot near the creek with plenty of trees but contrary to the listing here they don’t allow fires despite having a lovely fire pit area!!! Could do with another shower/ toilet block too. Good late check in setup though.

    Nice place for a quick Sedona teip

    My wife and I stayed here 2 nights for a quick trip through Sedona. It was overall a good experience. It’s a little tight but the grounds are pretty and peaceful. Everything was well organized. While not private showers the bathrooms were very clean. My only real complaint is that the Wi-Fi signal was not strong in our section. Would definitely stay again.

    A Wonderful Equatrian Campground

    The Little Elden Springs Horse Campground is a reservation HORSE/MULE ONLY campground. There are 15 pull-through sites, many that can accommodate 4-horse live-n trailers. There is a new pit toilet building as of 2022 and 7 water points around the campus.

    Here is a link to a video I made of the campground.

    Horrible place

    This place is a scam! The spots are literally on top of each other. From the front door of your trailer you have 4 feet and then your stepping on someone's sewage line. Then they market all kinds of amenities but they are never even open. The golf carts are only from Thursday at 3 through Sunday. The Cafe is only open Friday through Sunday. The horses... they have a few and there is only 1 ride a day, if you can get a reservation. They have the INDOOR pool closed for the"weather"... it was sunny outside. Not that it is that great anyway. It is so small that you can barely walk around the pool much less sit down. The deck around it is also dirty disgusting. If your looking for somewhere quiet to relax and camp, DON'T go here. It's like grand central station and all you hear at night is the highway. If I was prepared to dry camp, I would have left the second I got there and camped in the woods. Don't let the website fool you like it did me. It was a waste of my vacation.

    Recent outing with FMCA club

    Was disappointed with premium pull thru spot 325. No shade and no where to place your outdoor carpet. It must be placed inside the railroad ties which is impossible with a class A motor coach. To make this worse they placed plastic runners between the railroad ties which did nothing other than a trip hazard especially at night. The patio tables were worn and unsightly to look at let alone eat at. They don’t want you to put your mat outside of the railroad ties since they are trying to grow grass. Good luck. Nice club house and recreation room. Very clean and pleasant.

    Better than Flagstaff

    Amazing campground roughly 30 mins west of Flagstaff and just under an hour to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Definitely take a visit to Williams, it’s like a step back in time. People were friendly and helpful. A ton to do here! Also, there is a hiking trail just behind the campground. But beware that you would most likely get packed in here during high season. The sites are very close together.
