    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Beautiful Thousand Trails RV Resort

    The Thousand Trails Verde Valley RV Resort is a lovely Thousand Trails RV park located in Cottonwood, Arizona in the Verde Valley. The park is very well-kept and maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The premium sites are unbelievably huge in size and have upgraded FHU. The views from them are worth the extra $5-7.50 per night alone! They are level and gravel which makes parking a dream! The amenities here include pool, sauna, community room, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, tennis, mini golf, hiking trails, game room, pool tables, horseshoes, ping pong, dog runs, etc. The park is located just down the road from Cottonwood and the historic downtown district. There is a lot of things to do nearby including hiking trails, wineries and vineyards, shopping, historical sites, state parks and more! The only downside we have found to this park is the Wifi. Our signals have been pretty spotty here. This is definitely one of the nicer Thousand Trails parks we’ve been to and we will certainly be back. 👍🏻

    Verde Ranch RV Resort: A Relaxing Oasis with a Few Trade-Offs

    Verde Ranch RV Resort in Camp Verde, AZ offers a pleasurable stay with several top-notch amenities, earning it a 4-star rating. 

    Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons: 

    Pros: 

    Resort-Style Amenities: This resort boasts impressive amenities, including a sparkling pool, a well-equipped rec room, close proximity to sightseeing attractions, paved full hookup sites, and easy access to the Verde River. 

    Connectivity: Stay connected with reliable internet access. 

    Variety of Options: Choose from RV sites, cabins, and covered wagons to stay in and be sure to play a friendly game of pickleball. 

    Cons:

    Highway Noise: Be prepared for some road noise from the nearby I-17 freeway, especially at night. 

    Arizona Summers: The Arizona heat can be intense during the summer months, so keep that in mind when planning your trip, swim when you can at any of the local swimming holes! 

    Cost Factor: Be aware that Verde Ranch RV Resort falls on the pricier side compared to other campgrounds in the area. Overall: Verde Ranch RV Resort is a great choice for those seeking a comfortable and amenity-rich camping experience. However, the highway noise, summer heat, and higher price point might be a deterrent for some campers. 

    Recommendation: If you prioritize comfort, amenities, and proximity to attractions, and are comfortable with the price and potential for noise, then Verde Ranch RV Resort is a great option. However, if you're on a tight budget or seeking a more secluded and quiet experience, you might want to consider other campgrounds in the area.

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Tent and small trailer paradise

    This is part of the Encore/Thousand Trails network (although anyone can use it).  They do offer a 20% military discount.

    The resort has spacious RV spots with extra room to park your vehicle(if towing). Each spot has a nice concrete slab with a picnic table. The Small trailer, tent camping sites are very big and have a lot of distance between them. Staff are always patrolling around keeping everything nice and clean. Trees are everywhere providing shade. A nice breeze is always blowing and there is a creek down behind the resort where you can cool off. if you're looking for a great relaxing place to stay I highly recommend it.

    Close by is Jerome and Sedona for things to do

    We love Verde Valley Thousand trails!

    This 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!

    Sedona View RV Resort

    Amazing Views of Sedona Red Rocks

    The Sedona View RV Resort is a really clean and safe Park. The Staff is friendly and help you any way they can. They have Full Hookups with 30 & 50 amp service. They do charge a KWH fee for electric for a monthly stay. However their monthly charge is NOT high like other Resorts in Camp Verde.

    They have a shower and laundry house. As of March 2021 showers are still closed due to Covid 19. Laundry is open.

    Most sites are level but there are some on the outer parameter that you’ll have to work a little magic. Inner sites are fine.

    If you like hiking, this is right next to the National Forest with a trailhead right in the Park.

    Quiet at night. Watch the moon rise over the mountains.

    Our favorite Thousand Trails campground!

    This place is huge! Nestled in the red rock country of Arizona, this Thousand Trails campground offers a scenic and tranquil escape. The sites are well-spaced, and the amenities include a pool, hot tub, 2 dog parks, hiking trails, river access and clubhouse. Its proximity to Sedona, Jerome and local wineries makes it an excellent choice for those seeking relaxation and exploration.

    Huge

    This place is huge. 10mph strictly enforced so you can let your kids ride bikes and not worry about cars. Sites are huge ours had grass. As with most thousand trails spots are first come first serve which is definitely a pain especially with a place this big that is usually full. Pool was heated and the spa worked great. There is a trail down to the river for fishing or paddle boards. Nice clubhouse as well with free WiFi. Limited cell service which is nice.

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    BEST BASE CAMP FOR SEDONA ADVENTURE

    Verde Ranch was an amazing stay for us. The Customer Service and Hospitality was truly why we came back. All the amenities one could ask for. But what made our stay here awesome was the proximity to everything. Hiking, backpacking, off roading, and of course access to all the cool places in Flagstaff and Sedona.

    Verde Ranch RV Resort did it right. This is where we will always stay for our Sedona adventures.

    Nice Resort with a Pool

    I spent May through August here. It is about 30 minutes to emergency medical care. There are quite a few long term residents. The people were nice but not overly friendly. Activities like bingo were offered during the cooler months.

    Verde River RV Resort & Cottages

    Great place!

    This is now one if my favorite RV Parks. We have stayed in so many RV Parks that make you feel like a can of soup on a grocery shelf, but not this one! The spaces are nice and big! I think all spaces are full hookups, but they price the space according to size, whether it has trees, and whether it is along the river. We took a cheap space with none of the above, but it was still great! We could see some mountains and enjoyed our view of the trees. The park seems well cared for. My husband used the laundry facility and said it was nice. We didn’t use any other amenities, but they have a pool, spa, miniature golf, and sometimes offer food socials in their recreation area. There was a rather large population of ants, but nothing annoying. We will be back on our travels up I-17!

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    Amazing RV resort situated in Camp Verde.

    This RV resort is a short drive from Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, and Prescott. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were there during the Thanksgiving holiday and only have one gripe. When we called they advised us that we could rent a fire pit at the store, but when we arrived they were all out and put us on a waiting list never to hear from them again. It was cold and windy in the evening so a fire pit would have been extremely useful. Aside from the fire pit everything was great. I wouldd recommend this resort to friends and family and will definitely be going back.

    Beauty in the Desert 🏝️

    When we arrived we brought the rain with us. That was a truly blessed thing because they haven't had rain in a while. But Distant Drums RV Park it is beautiful. It has a pool a family room full laundry, showers and bathrooms that are immaculate, a weight room, a library with massage couch, swimming pool and beautiful lights almost like Christmas.lol!!!! This may be our favorite Park so far, after many games of foosball and air hockey. They have concrete pads with full hookups and a picnic table. We had a back in site but they helped us back in. The staff is amazing and the place is beautiful. We highly recommend.

    Clean and Easy to get to

    Look if you want to really camp this is not the place for you. Spots are close together with a fair amount of trees around. Because campsites are close there is some noise but not bad. Some road noise as well and to be expected since you are camping in town. Sites are clean and maintained and full hook ups including sewer, electric and water. I don’t consider this camping because I usually head out into the forest but overall this was good and got me spending time in my camper so all good.

    Thousand Trails Verde Valley

    Outdoor living with all the amenities

    Stayed here for two weeks. This campground is nestled behind some hills right next to the Verde River. It’s a beautiful setting with a huge variety of sites. There’s a mix of full timers and daily/weekly visitors. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. I can’t say we met a bad neighbor either, and most were super nice people.

    We stayed near the pool lodge. The pool and hot tub were very clean. There is a horseshoe pit, tennis courts, and basketball courts that didn’t seem to get much use. Still, nice to have for people staying longer term.

    The only irritation I had was the speed limits. I understand the reasoning, but getting in and out of the park was a pain just because it took so long to drive 5-10 mph for 1-2 mile stretches. Most of that drive is through uninhabited areas, but I think Thousand Trails is just covering their rears for liability sake.

    Oh, and internet is almost non-existent. I had a T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon phone, and all were pretty much worthless most of the time. We paid $15 for a week of WiFi, but ended up asking for a refund as it was even more unusable than our phones. Still, you can only ask so much from a campsite when it gets far enough off the grid.

    So, overall a great experience, and would definitely love to stay there again in the future.

    Forest Road 9365 - ROAD TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Convenient get away

    We decided on a whim to head north for the weekend. This was our first dispersed camping experience with our new RV.  We didn't know where to go and this was the first place we tried. 

    There are lots of places to park, but many are a bit 'rugged' in trying to get to. We found a great place that suited our needs.

    Here are the Positives: 

    • Uncrowded. We were literally the only people there. There were 5 other RVs that people apparently had parked long term. Some had stickers on them indicating they were in violation of the 14 day stay policy. Interestingly all were moved out while we were there.
    • Close to town. You're only 5 miles out of Strawberry so pretty convenient if you want to head to town for breakfast or if you need something.
    • Strong 5G cellular signal on ATT. We got 120Mb/s speed there which was awesome.

    Negatives

    • Right off Highway 87. Lots of road noise. This bothered us just a little. 

    • Big drop off on turn-in. We have a 39ft rig and the backend bottomed out when we pulled in. Keep that in mind if you have a big RV that tends to ride close to the ground. 

    Overall I'd say this is a good place if you are just trying to get out of the heat and you enjoy going into town. It doesn't seem too popular so maybe less crowded than others?

    Verde Ranch RV Resort

    A Good Basecamp to explore Sedona

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 3 Local Attraction Proximity: 5 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 5 Customer Service: 4 Cleanliness: 4

    Verde Ranch RV Resort is a newer RV campground located about 30 minutes South of Sedona. It offers lots of amenities including a big, lovely pool, laundry facilities, a decent sized workout room, a community center, pickle ball courts and more. In the age of COVID, a lot of these amenities are closed or restricted but we were able to use the pool on our visit. They offer different levels of sites based on price but we didn’t see much differentiation based on the price levels. We chose a covered site through their easy online reservation system as we were visiting in the dead of summer. We weren’t super stoked on our selection once we arrived. Our hookups were in the very far back corner of the space so we needed to choose between a small sliver of shade provided by the solar cover or the reach of our dump hose. Not ideal. We seemed to be in one of very few spots with this weird location for hookups. The end spots of the shaded area are hardly covered so it might not be worth it to you because these spots are pretty close together with no privacy in between sites. All sites seemed nicely wide enough to allow slide outs and big rigs. Plants between sites are all very newly planted and so don’t offer privacy yet.

    From what we were able to access, the grounds seemed very clean and well maintained. The online reservation process was easy though it was hard to get ahold of the office prior to and upon self-check in. Staff we did encounter were friendly and, though there are a lot of rules, there was no policing.

    The biggest draw for these grounds was proximity to Sedona (30 min), Montezuma’s Castle (10 min) and Tuzigoot (25 min). We enjoyed a visit to all 3 within our 2-day stay. We enjoyed our stay and the awesome pool in the desert heat but next time we might opt to stay a little closer to Sedona.

    I 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.

    Nice RV Park

    Distant Drums is a nice RV park. Very clean and well kept. The motorhome sites are nicest as they are along the perimetef with a view. The large 5th wheel sites are tighter and make up the middle of the park (back ins) and the front of the park which are pull thrus but very small yards. The grounds are always well kept. They have a larger laundryrokm and a small gym, pool and hot tub.

    Clean quiet no frills

    Decided to do a fairly short notice shakedown trip to Payson memorial day weekend. On such short notice the main Payson campground was already full, in searching around I found Oxbow as an alternative. Called up to see if there was availability and Nora the manager was super kind and assisted me in getting a fantastic campsite. Sites are very level, decent amount of room and very clean. It’s all gravel, a bit dusty, but setback well off the highway near several farms so it was very quiet both during the day and especially at night. While backing in the electrician happened to notice our rig and came over to speak with us and talked about how she had made sure that all wiring was solid, which I can confirm is true. Had full hook ups and everything was fine. Across the street is a donkey that’s very friendly likes to be pet and brays every now and again. would definitely stay here again.

    Great stay

    Stayed a week here and really enjoyed it. Excellent views to the north. Host was very friendly and was always offering to help. RV Park is slightly hilly so you’ll need to level accordingly. Definitely will stay here again!

    Rim Campground

    Quiet, expansive and feeling of being remote

    We reserved here because there wasn't any availability down by Woods Canyon Lake.  Upon arrival, we were met by Larry the camp host (an amazing friendly gentleman) they gave us some brief directions, rules of the park and local places to visit.  We have a 19' travel trailer and the RV parking is parallel to your campsite so you're level.  The amazing part (space 21) is your campsite....you have .5 mile of wilderness to the rim and enough available free firewood to last a week.  It's quiet and away from the craziness of Woods Canyon and helps you relax and not deal with the noise.

    Nice rv site

    Very nice clean rv park with well spaced campsites. Have yet to use the vault toilets or dumpsters so no opinion yet. Reserve and FFS sites there is a dumpsite and water, and some of the sites have electric. There are tent sites as well. Having been here through the afternoon/evening, I have to add that this campground is a bit noisy with hwy traffic and pets. I have to add that the staff here are very nice and helpful.

    Fantastic Campground

    We love the Sharp Creek Campground. It is very clean and level and the hosts are very nice and helpful. No hookups but can dump at Ponderosa a few minutes away. They do have water available for RVs on site. Overall, one of our favorites.

    Backseat bar is a great place to have a few cocktails. The restaurant serves up good food at a reasonable price. RV park seems to stay full,, soooo something is going good there. We love it, hope you will also.
