Pros: Friendly camp hostess, clean site, lots of large trees and shade, trails to explore to the creek and meadows, as well as to a strenuous hiking trail. My campsite 19 had plenty of space and a sweet level area to lay my bed. NO Rvs! meant no generators the night I was there- such a blessing to be away from generators. (Other national forest campgrounds in this area allow generators from 6am-9pm. which are my waking hours. Wish they followed the state park practices of more limited generator hours. Or how about no generator areas for those of us who still come to nature to enjoy the peace and quiet. :) Con: The only con was how close the road is and thus the sound of steady traffic early and late in the evening. You can get away from the noise at the creek. :)

Best swimming and fishing here. We've been going for years. Butterfies in the spring and blackberries in the summer. Really nice place to relax.

The location was excellent for a visit to Sedona. Rustic camping at its best. The site we had was #6 which was a bit difficult to pull into because of the position of the large rocks at the entrance to the site. It was close to the restrooms (pit toilets) which was nice except for the occasional smell. The groundskeeper was very attentive to making sure all sites were clean and ready for the next campers. There was a very nice clean creek running through the camp. We would camp here again!

We stayed at campsite 4 which we think is the best overall. All the camp sites are pretty close together but being so close to the creek was so nice and an abundance of birds chirping made my heart sing.
