Summary
Rock Crossing Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful views, making it a popular choice for families and groups. Campers appreciate the friendly hosts and easy access to outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking at the nearby Blue Ridge Reservoir. While the remote location means limited cell service and potential for wildlife encounters, many guests plan to return for the peaceful setting and enjoyable amenities.

The campground and sites were clean. The bathroom was always clean and stocked- the volunteers frequently stopped by to check on the facilities.
We had a great time at this campground and we will come back- try a site on the outer loop. Our only grudge was our camp neighbors ran their generator all day, so that was a nuisance. The campground is a short drive to the reservoir, where you can launch non-motorized watercraft.

Nicest campground site I have been to. The area has been raked. Big spacious sites. Quiet. Couple of problems: there was little to no shade and the restrooms never had toilet paper. I replenished with my own supply twice. It was a full campground. Perfect location for Blue Ridge reservoir, 2 mi away, and Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. I would definitely go back.

The campsite was clean and everything was in good shape. The bathrooms were clean and always well stocked. The camp site is great with it’s proximity to the East Verde River and views. The host crazy Harry was great and helped with local knowledge and makes sure we had a good time.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
