So glad to have found what appears to be Sedona's best kept secret. Right on the banks of Oak Creek where you can relax and swim in the cool shade.

We loved our time here! Clean and quiet at night, with the sounds of a gentle creek flowing nearby. Highway 89A boarders the campground. The noise during the day really didn't bother me too much. Beautiful area! Bathrooms were kept clean and well stocked.
