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.

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.

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.
