Best Campgrounds near Cottonwood, AZ

We were here two nights ago and my son wanted to come back. I wasn’t even sure where we were, but we managed to find it again in the same spot. It’s a nice place. Plenty of sites going up the road.

Overall, it was a great spot at the front it says no camping, but once you make it to the coordinates, it says it's allowed. No one bothers you, and there are trees and such around but not much coverage if you dont like seeing people. It's definitely a bumpy ride since it's all sand once you make it to the camping area. This area is also used for ATVs who left around 10pm, but they leave large ditches in the sand, but my prius made it fine, but I could see getting stuck if it was wet. It's very cold at night, so bring all the clothes you've got. They do allow fires to just bury them once you are done.

Very nice resort with nothing bad to say, they do have rules to protect their investment that other places don’t but overall a great place to hang in Williams

Lots of dispersed sites on this road. Quite a few sites occupied closer to the road's east entrance. The further down the road you drive, the rougher the road is. Stayed overnight in the camping area just beyond the dam. Beautiful forest. No amenities, okay cell service. People could do better picking up after themselves, though--some noticeable trash at the sites. Not too much traffic during our stay.

I stayed only 1 day. The site itself (tent site) was separate from the RVers. Very well maintained site with a shade structure above your tent and a clean firepit. They also had a facility w/ restrooms and showers. Awesome spot!

Eh. Fine for just a quick overnight if just passing through, I guess. A bit crowded, overrun, and quite a few RVs that look like they stay as long as they can. Lots of broken glass and some trash, at least where we stayed. I personally wouldn't stay in this area again due to how popular the road seems, but it is convenient if you're looking for somewhere free and close to Sedona.

Campsite 1 is large. Lots of shade but area of sun to charge my batteries. Minimal cell service, but I'm from Colorado and I have Xfinity. I'm pretty sure they use Verizon towers. I still work, so definitely needed my Starlink. There was no wifi that I could find. Do be careful with your food and trash totes. Javelina got into mine on the second night, so for the rest of my stay, everything was in the van and it was a little unpleasant. BTW, this app just tested my wifi but I have Starlink.

Nice spot for a quick overnight. Our site itself was mostly clean (we did find a couple nails though, likely from pallet boards, that we did pick up and throw away...) but we did see other areas on the way in where the previous campers weren't as courteous. The area itself was quiet and felt safe during our stay. Good cell service, too.

Quiet and peaceful stay.  Quite a few campers, but were spread out nicely.  Roads were decent.

I wouldn't say this site is closed anymore necessarily, but we were unable to locate a spot.  There is no camping signs on the main road.  A lot of the side roads are fenced off.  There were some side roads that were open, but there was a dirt mound at the entrance, making going in with a 17ft travel trailer not desirable.  Perhaps it would have been fine for someone with a different camper / vehicle.  We turned around and left.

The roads are decent, except I expect not so great if it's wet. There was rain a few days ago and we see ruts cut into the road and a few spots still wet, but we managed with our travel trailer. 4G service available with AT&T and T-Mobile. We are not far from the main road. A few other campers nearby.

Even ground, fairly quiet, decent stargazing. Definitely cold overnight for mid April.

Get ready to go slllloooowww down the forest service road for a while, but the camping is well worth it.

April: if there is dispersed camping its completely not apparent how to get to it. The area was nice though.

It’s as good as you want to make it , the joy is in the adventure . Perfect place to spend a day and hike to enjoy a sunset

Stayed here for quite a while periodically when I was working in the area. It's a great spot with tons of area to spread out, but pretty consistently noisy due to the ATVs (even in the middle of the night, especially on weekends). Roads are in good condition, even farther back towards the end. Had no problems with 2WD, even with a bit of snow on the ground. Verizon service was great.
