Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though summer temperatures can be extreme. Connectivity varies between locations, with Verde Ranch offering reliable internet while Thousand Trails Verde Valley experiences spotty cell service. "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," one camper wrote about their experience. Several parks offer on-site dump stations and sanitary facilities, though some charge additional fees for certain amenities. Pet-friendly options are common, with designated dog areas available at most parks. Road access to Camp Verde and Cottonwood parks is straightforward, though those traveling with larger rigs should research routes carefully when planning excursions into Sedona proper, as some roads have tight switchbacks.

GuideGreat spot. There are spots all along the road heading up to this pin but the further you go down the dirt road to the pin the better the spots are. Was so relaxing and quiet and incredible star gazing. We camped right up to the short wooden fence with a fire pit. Was great
RangerGood spot for an overnight. Convenient and quiet. Right next to a green waste site (closed for the season now). We stopped here for a quick rest. We have a 30 ft travel trailer and didn’t take it back any of the dirt roads as they were a bit muddy from the most recent rains. We just stayed in the gravel lot. There were a couple camper vans and a smaller RV there in the lot when we pulled in.
RangerDefinitely a nice option to dispersed camp in the area. The road was easy in my van, but long and washboard. Not much else out there to do, but certainly quiet and easy to stay a few nights while checking out Sedona.
GuideIts a place to take a break
GuideBoondocked it in Sedona. Great views. Very quiet. No amenities.
LegendA decent place but the dry camping has gone up to $35 a night. The best part about here is the proximity to the hiking trailer around the Dells and Willow Lake. Ive camped here for years but probably won't be back do to the increase in price.
TravelerCamped here the last weekend of the year. It’s closed for the season on 10/25/26. It was the perfect camp site. We had the fall foliage and had views of one of the canyon walls. Staff was friendly and campsite was spacious. Definitely would stay again.
TravelerLoads of good camping spots that are hidden away. Can be tough to find flat ground and there is some logging but I’d definitely stay here again.
TravelerGood place
