Not many people, probably from the time of year but the spot was great. Only about 15 min away from the town of Sedona, had its own trails, little river, etc. the rangers were nice and helpful.

I didn't realized it's a very tent oriented campsites. They indicated this in their website, but i was planning all along to sleep in my Van. My vehicle and my campsite #10 is quite far from each other, unlike most campsites where you usually park your car at your campsite. This means carrying all your gears all the way to the campsite. (Approx 30 yds). Other than that, and not all campsites have the same issues, this place is beautiful. We camped in Nov, so it was a but cold.

The campsite had three big bins of refuse that appears to have been there for quite some time. Additionally, the vegetation made it difficult for a 9foot high sprinter to navigate. We also noted that the sites were shallow for parking and the amount of space for turning around was quite limited and accessing the highway was not done easily from a safety point of view.

Beautiful fall days in a lovely, friendly setting. The camp host was away while we were there, but substitute camp hosts kept us well stocked with firewood and had everything nice and tidy. Cory does an amazing job with upkeep of the actual campsites, raking around the tables and fire pits after people check out.

We did have a fluffy skunk visit our campsite a couple times while we were there. Thankfully, neighboring dogs did not spook the skunk, and we left with a cute story to tell. Would return again. Since we had quite chilly mornings (even one with snow), we enjoyed our early mornings with lovely breakfasts at Indian Gardens Cafe just a couple minutes up the road.
