Solo camping trip with my pup. First time here. Was wonderful. Sites are very close together, so you will interact with others. This site (14) shares an access path with the creek and there’s a small sandy area to set up a chair or blanket. Not enough room for two different parties however. Sites 12-15 are not pull in so it’s a bit of a struggle to load/unload. These sites are also right across from the bathrooms and water. Smell can be a bit much. That’s why I always carry peppermint oil in my camp gear. Overall, this was enjoyable and not overrun with “visitors” as there is no extra parking.

Nice quiet little campground, very shady and a nice swimming/fishing hole is nearby. Bathrooms were clean. The camp host was great as well!

I loved this campground. It's small, and the campsites are close and without much privacy, but it's a beautiful area. The creek runs right next to it which was great to listen to while sleeping at night. There's a really cool swimming hole just down a short hike, which my two young kids really enjoyed playing in. We then hiked up the creek and had a blast. The camp hosts were very nice and kept the bathrooms very clean and well maintained.

this is my favorite campsite in Sedona . Oak creek was only 200 yards away from my campsite. Plus there was a swimming hole/pond area . I recommend hiring the West fork trail ..bring your water shoes !! Enjoy :)
