I had an amazing time at this campsite! It’s nestled in the woods, surrounded by shady trees, and has plenty of space to set up your tent. I stayed at site 7, which was pretty flat and had soft, easy-to-sink ground for my tent stakes. The sounds from the surrounding area were incredible - I heard a rooster, cows, owls, and a donkey. It felt super secluded, and if you venture into the woods, there’s a pond that’s perfect for taking photos. I made a delicious dinner and enjoyed sitting around the campfire. In the morning, I was greeted by a friendly Hipcamp doggy who hung around for a bit. Overall, it was a lovely place, and the town nearby is close by with restaurants and shops.

We were very comfortable at site 7. There is tons of space set up tents. We were able to fit 4 tents and 1 large EZ up style canopy with plenty of room to spare. The ground is also not super hard and Rocky, it is relatively easy to hammer in and remove tent stakes. There is signage to direct you to your proper campsite. My friend who came in a Kia Spectra was able to get onto the property with no problems. The porta-johns were clean. Fellow campers were quiet and courteous. It was honestly almost like we didn't even have neighbors, which was nice. The camp host's dog Buddy did absolutely make a special appearance in the morning. The dog was super friendly and loving. Overall this was quite a pleasant experience and I would be happy to camp with this host again.

A little tricky to find but the perfect distance away from civilization. The gounds were well maintained, lots of shade, benches, places to walk and peace. Site #6 i knew was the one for us since it was far from the other sites and you really felt a lot of privacy. Hoping to bring more friends next time!

Vicky’s property was a great place to camp. Although just a couple of miles from Old Town Cottonwood, it was quiet and secluded. You could access a trail along the Verde River in a few minutes or just relax at your campsite and listen to farm animals nearby. The campsites were good sized with ample space between them. The porta potties were well maintained as were the campsites. The campsites were dusty, but that’s just the way Arizona is. Morning visits from Buddy the dog were especially appreciated by my pups. Yes, I would recommend Hawks Hidaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hawk’s Hideaway! The property is beautiful and spacious, with plenty of shade from the large trees throughout the campground. Each site had a nice picnic table and fire ring, which made meals and evenings by the fire super convenient. The porta potties were impressively clean—definitely some of the best we’ve seen at a campground. The kids had a blast exploring and playing around the property, and they especially enjoyed watching the cows and horses at the neighboring ranch. “Buddy,” the owners’ friendly dog, was another highlight—our kids looked forward to every visit from him! We even spotted a few deer wandering through in the early morning, which made the experience feel extra special. Access to the Verde River was easy, even with several young kids (all under 10), and it made for a perfect little adventure. The campsite was very easy to find and access, and overall, the stay was peaceful and family-friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend Hawk’s Hideaway to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway in Cottonwood!

Pretty well kept. Porta potties were clean which I dont see often so that was awesome. Sites are pretty, you get to wake up to nearby farm animals which I liked. Overall good experience. Sites are dirt so if its rainy would be muddy but should be fine as long you choose a elevated spot for your tent so gravel would make these Sites perfect but still a good experience and safe area so worth a stay imo
