Very kind hosts. Bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen--didn't even stink despite being pit toilets!

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The grounds are very relaxing and one of favorite getaways. Maybe flush toilets in the future?!

Cave Springs Campground is a very pretty campground in Oak Creek Canyon and we enjoyed our time there. We camped in the F loop which was very close to Oak Creek. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.
Two things are worth mentioning, however. The traffic noise on 89A was fairly continual, even in the middle of the night. Where are people going at 3:30 AM? This traffic noise did not ruin our enjoyment of our camping too much but it was definitely part of our stay.
The second concern is more serious. The campsite website states that the campground is accessible for RV's up to 36 ft. This may be technically true, but we watched RV's less than 36 ft have great difficulty negotiating some of the turns and getting in and out of their campsite. We had planned on camping in our 32 ft travel trailer but fortunately checked out the campground the week prior and wisely chose to not bring our trailer there but tent camp instead. We think the 36 ft maximum limit for an RV is misleading.
Otherwise, beautiful campground and creek!

Very nice campground; quiet. We liked that the sites were a little spread out. Generators were allowed during certain hours but few people used them, thankfully. No way to fill up your RV with water, but artisan well water is available to fill up your water bottles. Delicious water! Nice showers available for $4 for 6-8 minutes. No dump stations available in the campground or in Sedona as far as we could find. We drove to Distant Drum RV park near Camp Verde to try to dump, but it cost $25! There is a trout farm just a few miles down toward Sedona on 89A and we caught our dinner there one night -- they provide the poles and bait and will clean the fish you catch. Nice hiking in Sedona but remember to take plenty of water as it's quite hot on the trails.

The hosts were so friendly and lovely. The sites themselves were beautiful and in a beautiful location. The bathrooms were very clean. There was plenty of shade, beautiful views, and a small creek flowing by the office. I wish I was there for the entirety of my trip

Clean and Semi-Secluded Campground. Nestled in Oak Creek Canyon. Very quiet. Only downside is the sites are very tight if you have a 5th wheel over 30 ft. Pay showers if needed. Bathrooms clean and vented.
