Best Campgrounds near Happy Jack, AZ

Well, we had planned to stay 3 nights. We'd been on thr 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.

The big issue, they are under construction putting in a new section. So, the afternoon we arrived, big loud rock trucks ran in & out for a few hours. Well, the next am, the same, only adding full semi trucks with sand,etc! The dust was brutal! This is why the 4 stars

Laundry & showers were not open. Since we were leaving early we asked Willow, the Mgr, for a credit. She wanted to give us a park credit and we said no way! She said she would do what she could.

We took off. A few hours later we got a credit for a full night.

I had a great couple nights here. I pulled off the road short of the Dyrt directions and found a cute little place with a fire ring. If you follow the Dyrt directions, you'll find a much more established campground. Would return. Great ATT and Verizon service.

Tried staying. However, the roads had been graded, and every spot... except a few at the front were plowed in.

Beautiful promontory overlooking a small canyon. There are many sites to choose from.

Lots of campers off beaver rd, but also plenty of spaces. Great stars, lots of cow dung.

Pulled off along the road. Good place to tent camp. Fire ring. Not too much traffic. Good views. No complaints.

Free designated spot outside of Sedona with gorgeous views. I got here early on a Friday and found a site just as someone was pulling out. Lots of folks in and out all weekend but quiet during the day. The 525 Forest road is very wash board. Lots of ATVs driving by on the weekend. Good Verizon.

This is a review for the Cockscomb designated camping area off Forest Road 525 in Sedona. There are a scattering of dispersed sites of this road. This is the first of the three at the top. These three have the best views. The site was a little bit muddy and pretty packed in with a bunch of fifth wheels and folks with ATVs and off leash dogs. I stopped in and decided not to stay here, but went up to the next one up the road, which was also packed but a bit more private and quiet. Results may vary on any given day. There is a nice hiking trail right off of this campground.

I find this kind of off the beaten path non-commercial history fascinating. The canyon is very pretty. A number of cars came by with people checking it out. We were the only ones camping. We have a 35 ft 5th wheel.and it was easy to maneuver and find a level spot. We were right by 40but the noise wasn't bad.

Camping at this Fairgrounds was a great option when all other campgrounds in the area are full or cost a fortune. Stayed here with some friends who needed hook ups. Electric only. There is a water fill station in a dump station nearby. Electric is only 50 amp or 110. You will need an adapter if you have a 30 amp rig. Electric sites are $30 and dry camping is 20. It’s super basic. Essentially a parking lot. The best thing about this site is it’s proximity to both Jerome and Sedona Arizona. Day trips to both locations are super easy from here. The camp host was super friendly and we stayed two nights

Close to I-40. Some noise. Level areas. I camped in front of mountain lions entrance sign. I have good Verizon reception LTE 4 bars.

5-6 other campers here now. Snowed last two days and mostly melted- roads a little muddy but made it with a 26ft motorhome no problem! My second time staying here- love it. E bike to hiking trails or just walk the road

This is definitely a great place to come to if you want solitude.

• YOU WILL NEED DECENT CLEARANCE VEHICLE/TRAILER

• I do NOT recommend doing this in a Toyota Corolla. A standard truck clearance is probably fine. No need for 4x4, but good tires are a must. Big Chevy Silverado did great.

The first couple of sites right off the road are big rig friendly. Maybe 500-1000 feet into the road there is a horse pin if you happen to have horses, but your trailer will need a bit of clearance in order to make it to this spot.

If you can, you absolutely should keep going down the main entrance road until you come to the first left turn. Turn left onto a half loop shown on the map. This road takes you to some amazing camping sites that overlook a giant canyon on the left! The farther you go, the better it gets. There was a tree blocking road 3/4 of the way through the loop, but it isn’t a far drive back to main entrance road.

There are plenty of roads to pull of into and go through the little gates to go camping or exploring. Always keep the gates closed. This was a great spot!!! There are probably ~100 total sites on this road with camp fire rings. All very well spaced apart.

Conveniently located to Pine and Strawberry

Payson, Arizona. Off the busy roads so very quiet. Nice level spots, good hookups. Nice clean showers and bathrooms. Situated in a rural setting with trees and farm animals nearby. Very nice helpful staff/owners.
