Verde Ranch was an amazing stay for us. The Customer Service and Hospitality was truly why we came back. All the amenities one could ask for. But what made our stay here awesome was the proximity to everything. Hiking, backpacking, off roading, and of course access to all the cool places in Flagstaff and Sedona.

Verde Ranch RV Resort did it right. This is where we will always stay for our Sedona adventures.

This is now one if my favorite RV Parks. We have stayed in so many RV Parks that make you feel like a can of soup on a grocery shelf, but not this one! The spaces are nice and big! I think all spaces are full hookups, but they price the space according to size, whether it has trees, and whether it is along the river. We took a cheap space with none of the above, but it was still great! We could see some mountains and enjoyed our view of the trees. The park seems well cared for. My husband used the laundry facility and said it was nice. We didn’t use any other amenities, but they have a pool, spa, miniature golf, and sometimes offer food socials in their recreation area. There was a rather large population of ants, but nothing annoying. We will be back on our travels up I-17!

This RV resort is a short drive from Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, and Prescott. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were there during the Thanksgiving holiday and only have one gripe. When we called they advised us that we could rent a fire pit at the store, but when we arrived they were all out and put us on a waiting list never to hear from them again. It was cold and windy in the evening so a fire pit would have been extremely useful. Aside from the fire pit everything was great. I wouldd recommend this resort to friends and family and will definitely be going back.

We decided on a whim to head north for the weekend. This was our first dispersed camping experience with our new RV.  We didn't know where to go and this was the first place we tried. 

There are lots of places to park, but many are a bit 'rugged' in trying to get to. We found a great place that suited our needs.

Here are the Positives: 

• Uncrowded. We were literally the only people there. There were 5 other RVs that people apparently had parked long term. Some had stickers on them indicating they were in violation of the 14 day stay policy. Interestingly all were moved out while we were there.
• Close to town. You're only 5 miles out of Strawberry so pretty convenient if you want to head to town for breakfast or if you need something.
• Strong 5G cellular signal on ATT. We got 120Mb/s speed there which was awesome.

Negatives

• Right off Highway 87. Lots of road noise. This bothered us just a little. 

• Big drop off on turn-in. We have a 39ft rig and the backend bottomed out when we pulled in. Keep that in mind if you have a big RV that tends to ride close to the ground. 

Overall I'd say this is a good place if you are just trying to get out of the heat and you enjoy going into town. It doesn't seem too popular so maybe less crowded than others?

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.

We reserved here because there wasn't any availability down by Woods Canyon Lake.  Upon arrival, we were met by Larry the camp host (an amazing friendly gentleman) they gave us some brief directions, rules of the park and local places to visit.  We have a 19' travel trailer and the RV parking is parallel to your campsite so you're level.  The amazing part (space 21) is your campsite....you have .5 mile of wilderness to the rim and enough available free firewood to last a week.  It's quiet and away from the craziness of Woods Canyon and helps you relax and not deal with the noise.

Very nice clean rv park with well spaced campsites. Have yet to use the vault toilets or dumpsters so no opinion yet. Reserve and FFS sites there is a dumpsite and water, and some of the sites have electric. There are tent sites as well. Having been here through the afternoon/evening, I have to add that this campground is a bit noisy with hwy traffic and pets. I have to add that the staff here are very nice and helpful.

The only road open is from Roosevelt side over the dam wall … we had a 40 ft Cruise America RV. I would have been nervous taking an SUV down that road!!

We tried calling to ask about conditions and no one advised of road issues. Camp might be wonderful but the road killed any chance of us going.

We instead stayed at RV park by the town. Use google for directions and check with park operator before attempting this road. If you have a 4x4 it looks like an amazing drive.

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.

Clean, very widely dispersed camp sites(lots of social distancing trees) especially in loop B (no electricity hookup); loop A sites a little closer but still great and most sites have electricity. Double lane dump station but no full hookups. Very clean restrooms and showers (require a ticket, not open on Mon & Tues). Campground mostly quiet after 8:30pm. Nice little (about 2 miles round trip) hike to Sinkhole. Campground close to several wonderful lakes for fishing, canoes, kayaks and stand up boards.

This spot really is nice. It’s right in town so if you need anything it’s walking distance full hookups and room for some pretty large rigs. Since you are in town you can hear the traffic and the spots are packed pretty close to each other
