Best RV Parks & Resorts near Williams, AZ

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. 👍🏻

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.

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

Full hookups. Separate "long term" and "transient" areas. Super clean. Nice bathrooms, showers, and laundry.

Main attraction is on site is the Black Bart's Steakhouse and Musical Review. Was a fun night. Food was above average.

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!

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.

Park situated just north of Willow Lake. We have a 32 ft Class C and tow a 4 Door Wrangler. No problem getting there. Plenty of spots with full hookups. They have a section for "overnight" and a separate section for "Long Term." We were there for 2 nights. No problems at all. Little shop had basics. Didn't use their facilities, but that was just because we had our own.

I never knew this place existed until I was driving north from Williams and BOOM - Giant Dinosaur!

It was a bit of an exciting moment which instantly took me back to childhood and I thought at first it was just a weird roadside stop, but then I discovered it was a bit more than just that it is in fact an attraction and RV park.

I went in to inquire about the large BedRock village behind the main store and man was it a surprise. For $5 you can walk through some pretty interesting recreations of the cartoon and talk all the instagrammable photos you could desire. For an additional $18 if you were in an RV you could get the real BedRock experience with a stay at the facility for the night.

While this sounded great, we unfortunately did not travel in an RV so there could be no stay in Bedrock for us, but we did have a little fun around the property before pressing onward to the Grand Canyon.

Just around 20 minutes from the Grand Canyon entrance you will find this little random gem that is a bit outdated and need of some upgrades. I can see how in the past this place was probably something special but not it is something which leaves a little to be desired in way of needing some new paint.

I asked for future reference about amenities and I was told that they offer full hook ups, showers, toilets, a laundry service and also some outdoor activities for the family that didn't include the Bedrock City itself. It looked like a place that as a kid I would greatly enjoy. So maybe next time!

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.

Williams, AZ was in the right location for us to stop in at this park for a few days. We ended up getting some work done on the RV and stayed longer than we originally planned! This is a typical RV park. It is nice that it is right in town so everything is super close. It made grocery runs super easy. There is also a hotel that the property owns and you are welcome to use the hotel amenities if you are a guest in the RV park. They have a train that leaves from here to go to the Grand Canyon. We didn’t do it, but it is really popular. They even have a kennel on site so if you take the train you can kennel your dog. We used Passport America and it made the rate really affordable for what it is. With temperatures below 15 degrees, we are happy to have hookups to run our space heater! The sites are full hookup and there is a nice bathroom/shower facility on site too.

This is just a basic RV Park that is nestled in amongst older trailers. The RV part is in the middle section and on either side is the trailer park. So don't expect much in the way of conveniences other than the provided water, electric and sewer. There is decent Antenna service and Wifi so I did not need their cable TV. It is less than a mile from the shopping at Tlaquepaque. It can easily be walked to as well as continuing your stroll to uptown Sedona shopping. As far as RV spots in the Sedona area, there is only two within the area and this is the only one that seems to have spots available.

Dirt parking lot at the trailhead for overnight parking. Not for long-term camping. Frequented by the locals for the walk.

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.

Needed a place to stop so we could go to the Grand Canyon. This discovery was accidental at best, but what a goldmine and a must-visit. This RV resort has everything and is well-run. Access to hotel amenities (pool, hot tub) are included with your stay. Why drive to the Canyon when you can take the train? What a grand experience. The downtown area of Route 66 is alive and well with shops, food, and entertainment.

If you don’t have a UTV, this is probably not the place for you to go. Dusty and loud.

We reserved a spot at this campground in advance of the weekend. We showed up at 6pm, an hour after the office closed. There was an “after hours checkin” location. I looked for a reservation with our name on it telling us which spot we should be going to. None of the slips had any names on them just a sticky note saying “one night only pay in the AM” since we had received 2 confirmation emails, I based our reservation off of the second confirmation stating we got full hookups - assuming they upgraded us from the electric/water because someone had cancelled. In the AM I went to go pay/check in since we were there from Thursday-Sunday. They acted like I was an idiot for not going to our assigned spot, even though we did not know where that was and demanded we moved. I asked them why I got a second email stating they were charging us for the full hook ups and they stated someone messed up and there’s nothing they could do about just go move to the correct location. I went and verified and at least they charged my credit card for the correct amount. Later that second day they called me and requested I come back to the office because they forgot to fully check us in and I needed to pay them. I ended up standing at their check in window for a long period of time before they came to assist me.

If you have to dump after your trip- or even during your trip— be warned it’s an additional $10 each time you want to dump.

The location is close to I-17 which has its pluses and minuses. Easy to find and get around, but truck noise throughout the night when you attempt to sleep.

The dog park is nice sized and has poop bags and garbages. The whole RV park has poop bags and garbages around it- which is awesome!

They do have propane fill on site, and typically a general store. The store was not open due to COVID-19.

The people staying at the campground were all friendly, which made the stay a little more enjoyable. Although there is not a lot of privacy within the different sites.
