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.
LegendNicely laid out park. Lots of trees and shade. The site we had was nice but the utilities were in the very back of the site. I had one extension on the sewer hose and almost need another.The water hose was a stretch too. Lots of rules at this place, one of them, no fires, propane, wood or otherwise.
Guide
Eight minutes from GCNP entrance, off the road with beautiful trees and stars. The camp host was so friendly and shared that many sites are reservable ahead of time but also there are always first come first serve sites set aside. Clean roads, easy access sites, level spots for tenting and even easier for RV. Would recommend to anyone wanting quieter setting with park/town convenience!
Legend
RV or tiny homes…this place is AMAZING. We were in the RV side very clean, level elite back in with a concrete patio. Picnic table AND propane fire pit provided. The clubhouse has a bar and grill with a GIANT patio, live music, a store, heated pool and spa, a large game lawn and trails behind. Backs up to a national forest. Bathrooms and laundry clean and convenient. Well organized and friendly staff. Cons: trains in the distance and some interstate noise but that’s to be expected. The camp is NOT right up on the interstate you just can see it from various sections of the camp. We only had one neighbor at our site since it was on the end which was nice. Would DEFINITELY stay again.
Traveler
Tried this place on a whim. Lots of people pass by here but it has such a cozy homey feel we ended up loving it and extended our stay from one night to two nights. Lots of forest roads to play on near by as well if you have off-road toys.
ScoutWe arrived in the evening without booking and found many opportunities as first comes first serve. The price for the single size RV was 20$ (double size 40$). Toilets are new and clean. Very nice host. As the camping ground is very close to the Grand Canyon NP, I can fully recommend staying there.
TravelerIf you're looking for something that is more scenic rather than amenities then this is for you. This felt more "off the grid" style and was great!
Scout
Has everything you need for a good night stay. Small store with the basics. Friendly people. Clean and Hot…(not their fault-it’s summer). Nice place after a long drive.
Scout
The veiws from most sited are awesome. Staff friendly, camp clean. Bring kayak for river!
GuideI only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.
GuideThis was our first TT park and we knew we had to not only stay the full 21 days but actually book a week out of the system and come back for another round of 21 days. Very clean campground, good amenities and huge sites if you are willing to pay extra for the 50 amp spots. We loved the location, it was quite with gorgeous views and close to town that has great little spots for wine, restaurants and love music.
Traveler
We really enjoyed our stay. 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. We also really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi.
GuideThis 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!

We loved Rio verde Rv park - close to Sedona but a fraction of the cost of the Rv parks there. We were able to stay for a few nights and took our motorcycle into Sedona to explore. We are full time in our motorhome so we enjoyed having access to the clean bathrooms & showers. It’s right by the river and great for cold plunges :) easy access sites with full hookups. There is a bit of road noise but nothing some ear plugs can’t help with.
TravelerIf you're seeking a convenient and comfortable RV park amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Verde Valley in Arizona look no further than the Verde Valley Campground and RV Park.

Their knowledge of the area and willingness to offer helpful advice truly enhanced our stay.
The spacious sites at the park were a pleasant surprise, providing ample room for our RV and additional outdoor living space. The park's layout ensured a sense of privacy and tranquility, shielding us from the noise of nearby AZ 260 and offering a peaceful atmosphere.
One highlight of our stay was the modern and clean restrooms and showers. Maintained to a high standard, these facilities were a welcome sight after a long day of travel. The attention to cleanliness and the availability of hot water left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It's evident that the management takes pride in providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for their guests.

Right by the roadside but en route to Grand Canyon, staff are super helpful and emailed bathroom code quickly despite my late arrival.
The Fred Flintstone park behind is a fun extra that they don’t charge campers for. And the goats are super cute
TravelerLovely spot near the creek with plenty of trees but contrary to the listing here they don’t allow fires despite having a lovely fire pit area!!! Could do with another shower/ toilet block too. Good late check in setup though.
ScoutCamp ground is maintained, organized. Sites a little close to each other. Grounds were surrounded by nature and close by main Sedona street. Check in after hours were smooth.
GuideI 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.
GuideBig campground tucked in the forest with many activities for the kids. Place has an indoor pool for those cold nights. Polar express in Williams is a short 10min drive from here. Staff is super friendly!
ScoutMy wife and I stayed here 2 nights for a quick trip through Sedona. It was overall a good experience. It’s a little tight but the grounds are pretty and peaceful. Everything was well organized. While not private showers the bathrooms were very clean. My only real complaint is that the Wi-Fi signal was not strong in our section. Would definitely stay again.
ScoutThe spots are spacious depending on which section of the campground you are in. Facilities are decent and the people are really friendly. Just be mindful of the speed limit within the park because they are strict on that.
Traveler
Stayed a week here to have access to GCNP and the surrounding NM and NPs within 2 hours of Flagstaff.
The private bathrooms were cleaned daily in the AM and the sites were relatively level.
LegendGreat park. Within an hour to the south rim of Grand Canyon. We had a 30 amp back in. Site 21 water and electric only. Some sites were FHU. Some sites had hookups on "wrong" side. Sites are small and close together. We enjoyed our stay here. Clean bathrooms, nice laundry room, great pool and hot tub. Camp was very clean and people friendly. About 6 miles to Williams AZ where there are restaurants and grocery.
ScoutVerizon does not have good signal here I get 1 bar. But they advertise that it does overall it's really good it was the only campground you could get in the park that's not in advance
Scout
Quiet cute place. Friendly people.
GuideThis is a pleasant, out of the way campground. There is water on site, but you are NOT ALLOWED to fill your RV from it, as water has to be trucked in. There is no dump station either. You have to travel a good 10 miles into Grand Canyon National Park to dump your load.
The sites are gravel, and they have a mix of pull through and back in sites. A good number of them are first-come, first-served. The roads are dirt and are VERY DUSTY. Don't be surprised to see a film of brown dust inside your rig if you leave the windows open.
The hosts in the Black Bear Loop were very friendly and helpful, but not nosy like some hosts can be.
I should also mention that, during my September stay at least, the place was absolutely SWARMED with yellow jackets. I never got stung (they aren't very aggressive) but they constantly buzz you and land on you. Gets annoying.
Overall, this is a decent campground but I would probably not stay here again due to the extreme hassle of having to drive 20 miles to get to water and a dump station.
