Rio Verde RV Park

Rio Verde RV Park, near Cottonwood, Arizona, is a solid choice for those looking to explore the stunning landscapes of the region without breaking the bank. With 64 sites, it offers a mix of RV, tent, and cabin accommodations, making it easy for everyone to find their perfect spot.

The park is conveniently located right by the Verde River, providing a great backdrop for outdoor activities like cold plunges and river floats. Visitors rave about the clean bathrooms and showers, and many appreciate the full hookups available at the sites. One camper noted, “We loved Rio Verde RV Park - close to Sedona but a fraction of the cost of the RV parks there.”

While the park is basic, it’s well-maintained, and the staff is known for being incredibly helpful. Reviewers have highlighted the friendly atmosphere and the park's proximity to nearby attractions, including the vibrant town of Jerome and the breathtaking scenery of Sedona. As one guest put it, “What this park lacks in amenities, it makes up in location and access to nearby adventures.”

If you’re looking for a place to unwind after a day of exploring, Rio Verde RV Park has picnic tables and fire pits for evening gatherings. Just keep in mind that some road noise is part of the experience, but it’s a small trade-off for the convenience and access to all the local adventures waiting for you.

Great RV park & location

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.

Hello Rachel and thank you for your review March and April are our busiest months of the year and unfortunately the site that is nearest to to the freeway is our last site to get reserved so in the future try and book far enough in advance so your not reserving the last site available and you will find we are more than basic. Happy travels.

Fantastic park in a great location!

Love everything about this park. Level gravel sites, super helpful staff, clean bathrooms and showers, great laundry and internet, and wonderful location. And the price is very reasonable for the area. Would definitely come back here when in the area.

Cool spot close to lots of neat stuff

Pretty cool spot right on the rio verde river, showers don’t cost extra $. Laundry is affordable, Jerome is just up the hill. Looks like if you had a shuttle car you could probably float the river to or from camp.

Clean, great host

Basic, but really clean. Xlnt bathrooms. Host is superb. Makes it worth the price which is a little steep. Not much to do at the actual site but good location to get to lots of things and places. You’ll want a vehicle (besides your rig obviously). This is less a ‘hang out at the campsite’ kind of place. We’d come back. Our dog says two paws up.

So close to everything!!!

This RV park is in the heart of cottonwood AZ with so much to see and do nearby. Just off the Verde River, there is plenty of shade and when we visited the dirt lot at the entrance was turned into a food truck rally, complete with seating, music, and lawn games.

Awesome little park!

Awesome little park! Set in the middle of everything just about... a short drive to national monuments, Sedona, Jerome and loads of great local food! The park is managed by an extremely helpful guy named Paul who also gave us a fire pit and free fire wood to help us celebrate our honeymoon! We were in spot 59 which is by the river and secluded somewhat, although it can be tricky getting in and out of! Tons of wildlife plays around the river with humming birds and other beautiful little creatures! One of the best little parks we’ve visited

The nicest and most accommodating staff EVER

The people who manage this park could run Disneyland. Very friendly and helpful. The amenities of the park are very good. Full hookups, laundry, WiFi and ice available. The down side is, the trees are few and so is the shade. We were here in November, but I could see this place getting HOT in August. It has been reported the park is near a major highway, but our spot at the back of the park is very quiet. These folks are super dog friendly. Will definitely be staying here again.

Great stay

We stayed almost a week here and our spot had a tree with nice shade. Level easy set up, full hookups and a cement pad out our front door. The staff was friendly the bathroom and laundry was spotless. We had a full moon that week and hiked up the hill to their observation deck on hat overlooked cottonwood and had views of Mingus Mountain and Jerome. Easy shot up 89a to Sedona. Great stay!

Nice RV park

Pros: polite staff, clean bathrooms, full hook ups, close to Sedona. Cons: right off the highway so you can hear the traffic

My only complaint was that there wasn’t enough lighting throughout the park so it was hard to find the bathroom once it got dark. Otherwise it was a convenient and pleasant stay.

Cottonwood, AZ

Helpful staff, clean rest rooms and laundry. Our site was near the river with full hook ups. Down side: on state highway, some noise. We don’t tow a car so we use bikes and walking. Both seemed dicey with cars moving fast close by. Cottonwood is a fun place about four miles away.
