Visitors enjoy the campground for its fishing and swimming holes along Oak Creek, beautiful scenery and excellent wildlife watching. Oak Creek Canyon is very crowded, especially on weekends; to get a campsite, it is best to reserve a weekday.

Camp host was amazing. Very friendly and made it clear that if we needed anything to let her know. Site 15 info is a bit misleading as it does not state that you cannot park at your site. Parking for this site is about 75ft away on the blacktop. Basically you have a parking spot and then have to walk to your site. We were in a campervan and so ended up feeling like we stayed in a parking lot. The site next to us (14) was also a camper van and we were parked nose to tail. HOWEVER. This campground is in a great location and is very beautiful. I would just say that if you're wanting to park at your site, avoid sites 15,14,13 & 12. I believe you can park at all of the other sites. Enjoy!

We stayed in 19, we were on the edge by the creek, so it felt more private even though the campsites were full. Pit toilets were clean, host was nice. Love that we could just walk across 89 and start Sterling pass trail. So peaceful hearing the creek

Small campground with beautiful views. We lucked out and got a spot here for 2 days and loved the place. Slide Rock is a 5 minute drive and highly recommend. Sedona Arizona is also just down the road. If you are lucky enough to get a spot here take it right away or you will miss out .

Just a perfect stay. Sure, the road is noisy and the headlights are bright. And the parking space for No. 9 is tight (we had a standard suv and it was fine). But the location is wonderful, you hear the river all night long, it has all the basics you need at a campsite (bathrooms are clean, spicket works, and firewood is $8/pack), and you get to hike Sedona. Perfect campsite.
