Office ladies were very rude and had no people skills!

Pristine and usually unoccupied lake off the beaten path. 17 miles of dirt road from Highway to the lake and the last 7 are truly a challenge for anything other than a slightly lifted vehicle. Four camping areas near or with access to Lake with two of them having boat ramps. Skip the first turn off to the right as that is the very narrow part of the lake and rather ugly. The second turn off has two to four campsites with vault toilets and access to the lake through a boat ramp which allows camping and small trailer access lakeside. The churn out to the right is, Really rough and has very little camping or RV access. One of the pictures shows how rough the road is. I took the fourth turn off which is 747 and has one to two camping sites with a fire pit and good RV access along with a boat ramp. Note that fires are allowed in the fire pits because this is above 6, 000 feet but there is no water or trash. Pack it in, pack it out.

The veiws from most sited are awesome. Staff friendly, camp clean. Bring kayak for river!
ScoutWe went to visit some friends who were camping at Lo Lo Mai. We thought we would have dinner with them, let our kids play together and then leave and put our kids to bed at our place. But while we were just finishing dinner, at our friend's camp site, a very rude employee walks up to us and tells us that we are trespassing and he will have to call the cops or we will need to pay the day use fee. But,"Day Use" hours were over at 6pm, so we might just have to pay for the overnight fee. And, even if we left right then we would still have to pay the"Day Use" fee. Come to find out that the"Day Use" fee was$15 per adult and$5 per child plus taxes and of course an additional charge if you use a credit card. Now, I’m not opposed to paying a day use fee, but we paid over$45 for us to have dinner with our friends, at their camp site, and be there for 2.5 hours and not use any of their facilities. This is an absolutely absurd way to run a campground! They have certainly lost any chance that we would ever camp there. In addition, that employees’ threats and the$45 for“Day Use” has earned them a terrible review on every site I can find and terrible reviews from our friends as well.*** Stay away from this poorly managed and staffed camp ground. Don't expect kindness, understanding or quality service.
GuideThis was our first TT park and we knew we had to not only stay the full 21 days but actually book a week out of the system and come back for another round of 21 days. Very clean campground, good amenities and huge sites if you are willing to pay extra for the 50 amp spots. We loved the location, it was quite with gorgeous views and close to town that has great little spots for wine, restaurants and love music.
RangerI enjoyed the creek view and the springs, but the lack of campsite wifi is too much to give this campground my approval. The lack of wifi, especially when there is no cell coverage, is unbelievable. Had FHU, but again the connectivity is not existent, even being close to Sedona.
Traveler
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.
ScoutWhen we arrived we were astonished to see the disrepair in this RV Park, especially since we paid over $100/night. We love to rough it, but when we want to have a nicer accommodation we accept paying a higher price for it. This was the higher price without any of the niceties. I could start with the extremely cracked concrete pad, the no privacy between sites, the lack of wifi (they advertise wifi but when you get there they ask you don’t use it to stream- only to check emails, etc- We couldn’t even do that). The power pedestal was extremely loose and leaning backwards, the cover plate for the breakers was only connected on one side, and the water pressure was very low. I could continue with when we told them we may have a couple come up to stay for one night with us, we would be charged $25 per person. I’m ok with $10-$15 for the extra car, but per person? The main factor in giving this one star is that the night we arrived we were discussing the fact that it looks like they don’t take care of the trees, and the next morning the tree right behind us fell on a very nice motor home and totaled it (slide torn away, roof dented in, other slides and toppers collapsed, a hole in the side). The first worker to see it drove up in his cart F-bombing to no end, the second worker said it’s the second worst case he’s ever seen 😳😳. We went to the office and explained we did not feel safe staying in the park. The man said he could move us but not refund us. I can tell you that there are plenty of at risk for falling trees in that campground, it wasn’t just the one by us. There was a tree literally being held up by a cut off telephone pole. The neglect in the park is apparent and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Our neighbor said he’s been going for 30 years (dad bought a membership back in the day when they sold memberships) and he said he hasn’t seen a penny put into the place in 10 years .

Very helpful hosts and maintenance crew. Needed to stay one extra night do to high winds, no problem. Internet is good. Games for kids and adults. Group firepit, they supply the wood. Sites are kept very clean and ready for the next renter. The only downside is that the highway is right behind us. Nights were mostly quiet, morning the traffic starts about 5am. We would definitely stay again.
GuideThis is a hidden gem Thousand Trails campground for us. So many amenities. The off leash dog park, pickleball court, and hot tub/pool are just a few to name that we use! On the weekends they have a wonderful food truck that also serves espresso drinks and fresh pressed juice! Bathrooms are clean and showers are pretty big. Full hookups at most sites as well! We have stayed in both the premium sites and the regular and have enjoyed both. Pool was closed this last visit for renovations but they say it should be open any day now!
TravelerIf you're seeking a convenient and comfortable RV park amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Verde Valley in Arizona look no further than the Verde Valley Campground and RV Park. This hidden gem offers a remarkable combination of friendly service, spacious sites, modern facilities, and a refreshing swimming pool. Our during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays turned out to be a delightful surprise!
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home. The warm and welcoming team greeted us with genuine smiles, providing excellent customer service that went above and beyond our expectations. Their knowledge of the area and willingness to offer helpful advice truly enhanced our stay.
The spacious sites at the park were a pleasant surprise, providing ample room for our RV and additional outdoor living space. The park's layout ensured a sense of privacy and tranquility, shielding us from the noise of nearby AZ 260 and offering a peaceful atmosphere.
One highlight of our stay was the modern and clean restrooms and showers. Maintained to a high standard, these facilities were a welcome sight after a long day of travel. The attention to cleanliness and the availability of hot water left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It's evident that the management takes pride in providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for their guests.
Of course, the cherry on top was the great swimming pool that beckoned us to cool off and relax. The pool area was immaculate, with plenty of seating options to soak up the sun or enjoy a refreshing dip. It was the perfect spot to unwind and escape, providing endless fun for both children and adults alike.
In conclusion, Verde Valley RV Park exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of friendly service, spacious sites, modern facilities, and a fantastic swimming pool make it a standout choice for RV enthusiasts passing through the Verde Valley. Whether you're planning ahead or seeking a last-minute retreat, this hidden gem offers a convenient oasis.
ScoutDirty shower, shower door and shower head. A lot of cobwebs. Staff reluctant to exchange towels half way through a 5 night stay. Way overpriced
GuideI was really looking forward to Cottonwood camp, outside of the Sedona area. The campground had excellent reviews so we booked three nights. There are many different sections of the park and your experience overall could be impacted by which site. We were in site 141 close to the main activity room. These sites are very packed and there are a lot of long-term guests and it looks like it. The other sites throughout the park are better, especially the ones on the ridge with a view.
The other challenge was almost zero connectivity even using a hot spot. I work remote so this was a challenge and I had to take work calls in the public lodge. The lack of WiFi at all limited our other devices as well. Not an option if you work on the road.
The area however has amazing natural beauty, parks and lots of hikes. Some are dog-friendly, but some are not, so recommend checking. The town of Sedona has changed over the years with many more tourists, traffic and high prices. I would likely not return or stay somewhere more in nature, but with cell service as well.
GuideThis is a nice quiet campground with many trees. Some of the trees are low hanging, be careful if you have a taller rv or trailer. We went in November and the leaves were all changing, awesome. There are a few activities for the kids. A nice river runs through the campground for swimming in the summer. Very spacious campground and sites are a decent size.
ScoutThe spots are spacious depending on which section of the campground you are in. Facilities are decent and the people are really friendly. Just be mindful of the speed limit within the park because they are strict on that.
ScoutVery nostalgic, reminded me of My Home country of the Sierra Tarahumara in Chihuahua Mex which was also Apache country. I am most certainly going back for another delightful visit I Did not get enough of the cool clean air along the creek.
Traveler
We went up and tried our luck in the Forrest lakes area to find a spot with no reservations. Pretty much every site was full but this one. So we ended up there out of necessity. Ended up being a cool little spot with a concrete pad, picnic table, fire pit and vault toilets. Awesome trails that take you around the rim with some awesome views. Would stay again!
Scout0 Stars.
I'm a healthcare provider in orthopedic surgery and I can't imagine treating a patient, or anyone in any setting, the way I was treated by Adam. I've never been treated so terribly. My grandmother passed away and I had to cancel 2 days before our reservation. I called and spoke with Adam who was beyond cold. He was extremely rude and callous. Adam would not even let me finish a sentence. I barely got to explain I had a family emergency and he showed absolutely no empathy. Adam was beyond rude and hung up on me while telling me I will not get a refund.
I understand policies but I expect to at least be treated with respect and like a human being. Adam has no empathy and it was disgusting how I was treated. I asked to speak with the manager which he was hesitant about and implied that the manager will not be calling me as requested.
Regardless of refund policies, NO ONE should be treated this way. I asked to speak to the manager about how Adam treated me and not to ask further for a refund. I'm a reasonable person. I understand policies. I called to see if there were any exceptions for emergencies which there is not. I understand that but I am not okay with how I was treated.
Adam needs to be held accountable for how he speaks to and treats customers/others.
TravelerWas 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.
Scout
nice size campsites. friendly staff that keeps you informed of what’s going on. well planned events. very clean bathrooms and laundry areas. we like it here
TravelerWe were given free donuts upon arrival and were escorted to our site (they even helped us back in)! We explored the insanely well kept/clean park and found an incredible little creek! We threw rocks in it for hours with our 2 little kids. The owner of the park came over and introduced himself. He even made us a fire because he knew we wanted to do s’mores! He explained that they had a bunch of games and things that the kids could play with in the common area. They were so over the top and kind! Highly recommend! I can’t wait to come back when the trees are full and green!
ScoutThis campground has everything you need. It's impeccably kept. The folks that work there are friendly, helpful and just plain nice.
GuideI can’t say enough about this place. It’s a pretty property, lots of clean and updated amenities. The pool area and clubhouse are amazing. Lots of events during the week plus holiday events. Their mission is to be family friendly and they are, they have activities for kids on the weekends and during holiday months. Very cute and well designed mini golf court. Cabins are available if you don’t have a camper. And the price is right.
ScoutGreat place, lots to visit around , dinner places are a little drive but worth it. Laid back atmosphere
Scout
Been going here over 6 years and I always look forward to my visits there in the Summer. They have 2 pools (one is heated), volleyball, darts, horseshoe, pool tables, hot tub, sauna, nature trails, a cafe open in the weekend, events and tons of other things going on. Most of the people there are permanent or semipermanent residents. It is a comfortable, family friendly community, although you it is rare you see children there. I highly recommend and will continue to bring guests to enjoy some Arizona sunbathing!
GuideThis was just a stop along our route, and we were so bummed we only stayed here one night! Shady, lots of trees, pristine condition of all facilities including dog park, walking trail next to the creek, and large enough sites for our 42' rig. There was live music on night! Furthermore, they were generous and understanding of an emergency situation that happened on the day we needed to leave. The owner even brought my kids popsicles while we packed up! Ask him what he used to do for a living... he'll have a fun telling you about it. Beautiful campground I couldn't recommend more.
ScoutStaff is very friendly. River access is available at site C which we stayed at and our furbabies loved it! Sedona is only 45 mins from here so an even bigger two thumbs up!
