Cabins for rent near Rimrock, Arizona offer camping opportunities at elevations ranging from 3,300 to 4,000 feet. The Verde Valley area provides a moderate climate with temperatures typically 10-15 degrees cooler than Phoenix year-round. Winter overnight temperatures from November through February can drop below freezing, requiring proper insulation and heating in cabins without electricity.
What to do
Creek access for swimming: Page Springs Resort offers camping beside Oak Creek with sites that back up to flowing water. "We had a spot right on the creek so we fell asleep to the sound of the creek flowing over the rocks. We went for walks around the area and even walked down the middle of the creek. (Definitely need good water shoes for that.) We went kayaking too," notes Pam A., who camped at Page Springs Resort.
Bird watching opportunities: Zane Grey RV Village maintains habitat for local and migratory birds with multiple feeding stations. "The sites are shady, spacious and sparkling clean. There are hiking trails that lead to a nearby creek, beautiful bird feeders throughout the property," reports Nichole D. after staying at Zane Grey RV Village.
Fishing in stocked waters: Verde River access points near camping cabins provide trout fishing opportunities. "Access to lakes, good fishing trouts," mentions Daniel Q., who stayed at Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground. Many cabins are within walking distance of fishing spots along the Verde River and its tributaries.
What campers like
Proximity to wineries: Cabin rentals in Cornville and Page Springs provide convenient access to local vineyards. "Close to wineries situated between Cottonwood and Sedona. Great value," writes Tricia M. about her experience at Page Springs Resort, which is within walking distance of multiple tasting rooms.
River sounds for sleeping: Waterfront cabins offer natural sound barriers from other campers. "Our cabin was right on the river, quiet and spread out enough. Walked and fished the river, so peaceful," shares Spencer A. about his Christmas Eve stay at Dead Horse Ranch State Park Campground.
Shade availability: Tree cover varies significantly between properties, affecting summer comfort levels. "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," notes Mike T. about Verde River RV Resort & Cottages.
What you should know
Cell coverage limitations: Signal strength varies widely between properties, with some offering paid WiFi options. "There is little to no cell phone service at the campground or even surrounding areas. They have the option to pay for wifi at $1.95 per device," explains Brooke about Page Springs Resort.
Highway noise considerations: Some properties are affected by traffic sound, especially during early morning hours. "The only downside is I-17 is way too close—constant road noise when you're outside," reports Thomas S. from Verde River RV Resort & Cottages.
Advance registration requirements: Most cabin rentals operate on reservation systems with specific cancellation policies. "When we booked our site we had originally planned for 7 nights on our trip we made some changes. When we arrived we asked to cancel our last night. Which they don't do," shares Cindy F. about her experience with booking policies.
Tips for camping with families
Playground accessibility: Thousand Trails Verde Valley includes outdoor play areas for children. "We love this campground! We have camped here around 5 times and always had a great stay.

Kid-friendly creek exploration: Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort offers safe water access for supervised play. "Play ground and swings for the kids! Right on the river, clean facilities, and friendly staff!" reports Derrick from Lo Lo Mai Springs Resort.

Tips from RVers
Camping discounts available: Passport America members receive significant discounts at certain properties. "Passport America gets you 6 days at about $20 a night. Verizon and AT&T work awesome here," notes Thomas S. who stayed at Verde River RV Resort & Cottages.
