Best Equestrian Camping near Jerome, AZ

219 Reviews

No horse-specific campgrounds were identified near Jerome, Arizona based on the provided data. The campgrounds in the area offer a variety of accommodations including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins, but none feature dedicated horse corrals, stalls, or equestrian facilities. Dead Horse Ranch State Park, despite its name, does not appear to have specialized horse amenities according to the feature list, which specifically notes "NO horse-corral." The park offers water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and access to hiking trails, but lacks facilities specifically designed for equestrian campers.

Verde River RV Resort & Cottages and other campgrounds in the region provide camping options with various amenities such as showers, restrooms, and hookups, but also lack horse-specific facilities. South Mingus Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 413 offers dispersed camping opportunities for tent and RV campers, with trails in the surrounding national forest that may be suitable for day rides, but no permanent horse facilities exist on site. Campers interested in bringing horses to the Jerome area would need to make special arrangements or seek alternative locations with proper equestrian accommodations beyond what's represented in the provided data.

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Northern Arizona Treasure

    Wow, what an awesome state park! Camping here with little ones was awesome, it had so much to do. The three small lakes are a great spot to fish and lots of shade. A horse stable and playground are nearby. There are 4 camping loops, 1 tent only. The cabins are on a separate road and have so much space and shade between. There is also river access. Close to national monuments and wineries. Not too far from Sedona and Jerome. Lots of day trips close by. We will be back!

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Very nice campground

    We stayed here for our first trip with a TT in December 2020. Water and electric hookups. They have a dump station. They have a lake to fish in and equestrian center to go on horse back rides.

    Verde Valley Fairgrounds

    Good for visiting area

    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

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Great Park with Many Attractions Nearby

    Spent a few days here last Spring and loved it.  The sites were decent.  I was lucky to have one with a view but overall the site was decent.  There are quite a few campgrounds and a couple were up the mountain slightly.  Def suggest checking those campgrounds out - not much shade in those areas.  The Quail campground had ample shade.  Nearby towns - Cottonwood, Jerome - have lots of shopping, dining options.  Sedona is also not a far drive and beautiful.  Definitely recommend staying in this area if not at Dead Horse.

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Lovely and quiet campground.

    We spent 3 nights here, using our camp spot as a"command center" for exploring the area around Cottonwood(including Sedona, Jerome, Montezuma's Castle, Tuzigoot, etc. etc.) We kept busy and were really not"home" during many daylight hours, but it was a great base to return to each evening. Dead Horse Ranch State Park has A LOT of camping spots, and can accomodate pretty much any vehicle. We were in a pull through site(31) that we really liked. The only surprise was that our nicely blacktopped spot was not very level...we had to put two blocks under the front passenger tire and one under the rear passenger tire. Hardly the end of the world though. One night we were there was Monday night, and folks were outside enjoying grilling and watching the game. But nothing ever got anything close to rowdy. It was a very quiet campground, and even though every site was full, and honestly, the space between sites is only about average, we never felt squeezed in or encroached upon. Every site has a picnic table and a grill. The electric and water hookups were fine(water pressure not the best I've ever had, but more than okay). Because it's such a busy place for camping, the two dump stations on the way out of the park DO sometimes have a wait. And one of them doesn't have access to water, which is tough when you prefer to also backflush your black tank.

    The park itself is lovely, but unless you like fishing, probably won't hold you there too long. It's more as a quiet, inexpensive pretty place to stay rather than a destination in and of itself. We walked around a couple of lagoons and enjoyed some bird activity...but I would say don't think of this place as the be-all, end-all of your trip. But you're 30ish minutes to Sedona, 20ish minutes to Jerome, etc. We would certainly stay here again.

    Rancho Sedona RV Park

    Close to Old Town Cottonwood and Jerome

    Nice RV Park close to Cottonwood and Jerome and only 30 minutes away from Sedona. Quiet area and well kept that also has Park Model cabins available. Scenic River views and walks as well as views from the ECO lookouts on top of the hill above the RV park.

    Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground

    Homebase for great National Monuments

    Dead Horse Ranch is a beautiful Arizona state park. It is also a great home base because it is down the street from Tuzigoot National Monument and close to Sedona and Monetzuma Castle National Monument. It is just outside the charming city of Cottonwood.

    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.
