Beautiful little campground right along the bubbling Oak Creek. We had site #12, which had stone steps from our campervan parking spot to access the site with fire pit and picnic table (site would be beautiful for tents), and could walk right to the river. The sound of the river was very nice. Four vault toilets maintained okay and easy access. Fire wood was available for $7. Camp host Lydia was very personable and responsive - great job. Other campers were experienced and courteous. This was a perfect spot in winter for our two days of exploring and hiking around Sedona.

Perfect launch pad for anything you want to do in Sedona and not too far from Flagstaff too. Campsite is next to a river that provides ambient noise that is pleasant to fall asleep to. You will be close to the popular West Fork Trail and could possibly drop people off and have someone drive back here to avoid the trail fee (Arizona and its trail fees, eye roll). Campsites are all pretty close to each other so keep that in mind if you like lots of space.

The camp sites had plenty of space, great location to go visit many activities, close to shopping and restaurants. The running stream was so pleasant to sit by after a great day of hiking as well as a cool dip. Our host , Lydia was so nice, she made sure we had everything we needed and she was very knowable of the area. We will defiantly be back!
