    Rancho Sedona RV Park

    Excellent well run site, great location, lovely trees and creek

    An exceptionally well run site, easy out of hours check in, very clean. We stayed in the adults only section near ish to the creek. Very shady, and really good sized spaces. The creek is lovely to sit in or swim in and chill down. It's walking distance from Sedona town, and also walking distance to some great trails. Would totally stay here again.

    Manzanita Campground

    Beautiful little campground right on the creek

    Right on oak creek with good entry to the creek, shaded, and good location from Sedona. A little close to the road, but the sound of the creek helps with that. Host was very friendly also. There was also yummy blackberries all around;)

    Schnebly Hill Road

    What a view!

    There was quite a bit of traffic on the trail, but drive up from Sedona is worth it because the views are simply incredible!

    Schnebly Hill Road (FR153) Dispersed - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Great views, wrong coordinates

    Great views, west side closer to Sedona is a lot more rocky while east half is pretty easy. The location here is wrong and that's probably why there are bad reviews.... You can access off i17 by taking exit 320 and then driving down the forest road toward Sedona. Camping is only allowed in about first half (4-5ish miles). Or you can access schnebly hill Rd from sedona and drive up. There was some very rocky and sketchy parts in the Sedona side but I made it fine with a stock 2012 4Runner and AT tires. This road also closes during winter depending on weather and snow conditions.

    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!
