I loved the closeness of the creek. At the time I camped in Mid-April the creek was running high from the snow melt. It was very loud, but so soul comforting. I love the sound of creeks and rivers when I sleep. Number 9 was my camp and it was small. It was right next to the camp host on one side. Number 10 next door is almost on top of you. Gotta love the neighbors. The camp hosts dog came over for some ball playing and petting. I’m a dog person, so I loved the welcome distraction (and am missing a dogo of my own.) There is a little beach area I propped my chair up and listened and watched the creek for hours.
The 89-A traffic died down about 10 o’clock. It was also time for the noise curfew which made the woods silent! Pretty much everyone adhered to it, so it was nice.
The camp hosts are newbies. Wood bundles are small. Bathrooms were cleaned once a day. There are 4 pit toilets for the 19 sites in this campground, probably could’ve used 2 times. My fire pit wasn’t cleaned out and I asked a camp host for a shovel and he did it for me.
The swimming holes look great, but it was ferocious water and cold- so swimming’s not happening for a while. Fishing is kinda a bust as well. Maybe when the run off is done, it will be better.
Parking is an issue. Tiny spots. Only one car per site. No radios, which I actually liked….
If I get the chance to go here again, I would try for a different site further to the left when entering the campground. (No. 9 and 10 are a hard right when entering.) Overall it was enjoyable.

It was awesome! It’s a great location, we were close to everything in Sedona. The entrance and exit is tight so you have to slow down to see it. We reserved campsite #14 and #4. #14 has so much room and has a little privateISH sand area to hang by the creek, it’s great for tent camping. The only thing is if your van/truck camping, its not that great only because your parking spot isn’t a drive up, you park it tandem in between two other spots and then walk 10 ft to your site. Because of that reason we drove the little loop and found a walk in tent site that wasn’t as large and it was right next to the bathrooms but we were able to drive up/in to our campsite. We were able to do an even trade for our site. We moved to #4 the next night and that was great for us! We had to use some rocks to level out our truck/camper but it was so private and it leads to a little trail that it was awesome. The ranger Donna was so sweet and kind. The gentleman was also very nice.

They sell wood at about 5pm and stop when it gets dark.

It’s not a place for partying because it’s a small area and a very mellow vibe. It’s perfect in my opinion.

This campground was nice but a lot of outside visitors enter the camp. Our assigned parking spot was taken a few times when we arrived by people not staying in the campground. Also purchase wood in town. The wood we were sold was wet and full of mold.

Wonderful campsite. The creek made the best sounds that were awesome to sleep to and it’s such a great location for Sedona and hiking. Our family loved it and will definitely be back.
