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.
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.
Scout
Very well kept first come first served campground
Traveler
Beautiful campsites among the trees with high meadows for star gazing. Enjoy the wildlife and free range cattle as they stroll through the area. Only an hour from the Grand Canyon.

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.
Traveler
This campground is very well kept up. Camp hosts are friendly and responsive. Bathrooms are extremely clean with nice showers. Dump station clean and in perfect working order.
Good cell service (Verizon and T-mobile).
Ranger
Small campground in natural setting. So many Forest service trails for hiking (and mountain biking). Campsites offer a lot of privacy due to their layout in the natural topography. Clean compost toilets and drinking water. Not a lot of shade at some sites so may get warm in the summer.
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.
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.
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.
GuideBeen here twice in last three months. Well run campground for tents and rvs with space between sites. No electricity and limited water. Good trail access.
TravelerGreat area with lots to do and see. We stayed in Red Tail Hawk campground. Host was helpful and friendly. Restroom was clean!
TravelerThe Little Elden Springs Horse Campground is a reservation HORSE/MULE ONLY campground. There are 15 pull-through sites, many that can accommodate 4-horse live-n trailers. There is a new pit toilet building as of 2022 and 7 water points around the campus.
Here is a link to a video I made of the campground.
GuideI love Sedona! This palace is great, I stayed another day. Close access to creek, nice spaces, nice laundry room, and so quiet! Wish they allowed fires and only 2 showers for whole park, but wasn’t a huge issue.
Scout
Lots of shade. Easy dirt road for RV's. No cell reception. No WI-FI. Lots of cows, bulls, deer, seen mountain lion, fox, coyote. There are at least 100 camping spots and of course some are meant for 4 wheel truck and others are meant for RV's. Lots of hiking trails.
ScoutThis place is a scam! The spots are literally on top of each other. From the front door of your trailer you have 4 feet and then your stepping on someone's sewage line. Then they market all kinds of amenities but they are never even open. The golf carts are only from Thursday at 3 through Sunday. The Cafe is only open Friday through Sunday. The horses... they have a few and there is only 1 ride a day, if you can get a reservation. They have the INDOOR pool closed for the"weather"... it was sunny outside. Not that it is that great anyway. It is so small that you can barely walk around the pool much less sit down. The deck around it is also dirty disgusting. If your looking for somewhere quiet to relax and camp, DON'T go here. It's like grand central station and all you hear at night is the highway. If I was prepared to dry camp, I would have left the second I got there and camped in the woods. Don't let the website fool you like it did me. It was a waste of my vacation.
GuideThis campground has less trees than others in the area, but the roads are flat so good for RVs. Bathrooms are pit toilets.
GuideGood forest service camp close to Flagstaff. Sites are spread out and there were a variety of camper types there. Can hike or rock climb nearby. Price is now $26.
TravelerIf you can get it, amazing. But, god speed. Please note prices have been updated per the very pleasant host.
TravelerWas disappointed with premium pull thru spot 325. No shade and no where to place your outdoor carpet. It must be placed inside the railroad ties which is impossible with a class A motor coach. To make this worse they placed plastic runners between the railroad ties which did nothing other than a trip hazard especially at night. The patio tables were worn and unsightly to look at let alone eat at. They don’t want you to put your mat outside of the railroad ties since they are trying to grow grass. Good luck. Nice club house and recreation room. Very clean and pleasant.
GuideWe stayed 2 nights in Red Tail Hawk loop and one night in Quail loop. We preferred being on the hill in Red Tail Hawk. Great amenities. Bathhouse, playgrounds etc.
GuideAmazing campground roughly 30 mins west of Flagstaff and just under an hour to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Definitely take a visit to Williams, it’s like a step back in time. People were friendly and helpful. A ton to do here! Also, there is a hiking trail just behind the campground. But beware that you would most likely get packed in here during high season. The sites are very close together.
