Best Campgrounds in Arizona

This campground was a great find. It’s not very big, but tucked up against a creek & under the pines. Great spot to unwind and reconnect.

This RV park is located within the National Park so you have to pay to enter park grounds at the Ranger Station. The spot are large and it looks like they can accommodate everything up to a tour bus. Each site is a concrete pad with fake turf. This is by far one of the nicest sites I've been to considering I'm used to dispersed camping. They have a bath trailer that is nicer then most have at home. Dog friendly and they have a cart service that will pick you up from your site and take you down to the marina. Views are nice,high winds for sure so canopys might not be able to be put out at times. Downfall is the spots are right on top of each other.

I was very exhausted after the hiking but the land was worth it indeed

! It was so pleasant and Scenic here I really enjoyed our visit and we plan to return next year!

To be clear, this is basically a parking lot at a junction of 2 roads. The scenery is wonderful, and the local wildlife make regular appearances. Burros frequent the area looking for food from travelers and often stand in the middle of the road. They also gather among the campers. My biggest complaint is the vehicles that use the lot as a shortcut to avoid turning ahead at the Y intersection. Only 2.5 miles from downtown Oatman.

Were there with 28ft camper. Parked near restroom, turnaround easily possible. Some noise from highway but very quiet at night. Stayed two nights.

Pulled in late with no reservation after failing to get access to dispersed camping, host was very nice and accommodated our dusk arrival. Has 2 dog runs, small park with swings and stuff for the kids. Looks like they have fire rings but not sure didn't ask. Just know it's off I40 and you can here the trucks at night.

There are actually a couple of spots here. Heading east at the brow of the hill, there is a dirt track to the left that apparently leads to a spot.

We stayed at the second dirt road (this is a small dirt loop road, so take the third dirt road if you miss the second).

If you end at the bottom of the dip at a big open gravel pit on the left you have gone to for.

A couple of bays for RVs for others to get past if need be.

Very little traffic noise. There are regular trains with horn blasts coming from over the ridge on a regular basis.

It's disappointing in that there is a lot of rubbish over the edge (you can't see it from the Rav) and a lot of toilet paper from freedom campers in the bushes.

We really wanted to like this park. It had some nice features, but elements of it were rather alarming.   

First of all, It's not a resort actually, but rather an unsecured clean rv parking area with hookups and mostly level gravel sites with concrete patio pads. There were only a few sparse trees throughout the property and nothing for shade on the sites. There were no park models, and there were only a few permanent residents. It was mostly transient travelers, which was fine during the high-season, but there was no sense of community at all. 

The park had absolutely no security whatsoever. Strangers wandered into the park at night to use the main dog park from off the noisy main road, Meridian, which the park was located on. We heard of a dog attack related to a stranger coming into the park with their animal. There were no park employees on site in the evening, night, or early morning hours. The amenity areas were all located behind locked key pad entries for a reason. 

It was supposed to be an age-restricted park, but nobody seemed to follow the rules. There were teenagers staying there who had absolutely nothing constructive to do to occupy their time. 

There was a nice pool, a small library, a laundry facility, community bathrooms with shower stalls, and an absolutely tiny fitness room. There was a separate building with a pool table and cornhole.

After dark, the park became something odd. Most people never ventured outdoors. There were occasionally dances that took place in the main amenity area, but other than that, it was practically a ghost town. After management left for the day, all park rules went out the window. Strangers coming into the park. Dogs running around unleashed or tethered outside to trailers. People staying in a hauler, literally like a horse hauling trailer. There was even a police helicopter search where the target of the police search was hiding in a parked vehicle in the park until the police gave up. In general, we felt a bit of unease at night knowing that there was no one even monitoring the property, and there was no security gate. 

Management was a myth. We never once saw the actual park manager. This person stayed in their office and never came out and had zero interest in their guests. The woman at the front desk was quite efficient, but management was non-existent. 

We really tried to make do with the situation at this property, but we can not recommend it, particularly for older people who are more vulnerable to random crime, nor shall we ever return.

Friendly staff. Clean. Level sites. Some are small so check length before booking is you travel in RV or trailer.

Some sites are close to the road but quiet at night. No large trucks allowed on this section of highway 89A.

A bit popular with it being near Sedona, but you can find some side roads along FR618 that offer a little more privacy. I found a nice spot near a creek with some trees for shade. Sporadic cell service depending on where you park.
