Site 7 have rock bulders to entrance to the site, and its difficult to park a car and i fell over at night going back to tent. It is will be nice to remove them to avoid future traumas.

We have been camping here a few times and always find it the same. It is amazing
Clean, and so comfortable
There are only tents and a very limited number of sites
The Oak Creek behind is filled with trout-
Everytime we fly fish we catch a number of fish- We throw them back, but they are big enough to cook
The sites are spaced out and have a picnic bench, a fire pit and a grill, you can bring wood and grill
It is very shaded and at the end of the site, there is a large body of water to swim.
It is about 6 mi north of upper Sedona on the way to flagstaff up 89A
highly recommend!

Awesome campground. Very small, quiet, tent only, so no hearing loud RV generators. We could hear oak creek from our tent making a nice peaceful, beautiful stay

Such an amazing place! My family and I will definitely be back. We enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the creek and birds every morning. The cars can be a little noisy but for location and everything else offered at this camp ground, the cars are easy to tune out. Camp host were awesome and the place was very pet friendly. I used to come here with my grandparents 20 years ago and it was the same beautiful place I remember.

When I made the reservation for Memorial Day Weekend almost 6 months in advance the site was reservation for Monday - Thursday and First Come First Serve for the weekend. When we arrived at the site on Thursday for our reservation I was told that the campground reservation had changed and was now all reservation based and all the FCFS sites were full. This was a HUGE inconvenience for my family and I who just drove 8 hours with a toddler expecting to spend the weekend on the river. We then had to pack up our entire camp after a short night and find a new place to stay during 90+ degree weather on a holiday weekend! It is completely unacceptable that no notice was given to people who already had reservations at the campsite or even a courtesy email from Recreation.gov. This experience really made me rethink all further reservations I make on this site.
All that said - the campground host was awesome and very helpful despite the awful change to the campground made by Recreation.gov.
