Distant Drums RV Resort

9. Distant Drums RV Resort

40mi from Payson · 51 sites
Distant Drums RV Resort stands out as a unique campground because it is tribally-owned and has been a cornerstone of the Yavapai-Apache Nation since its establishment in 1995. This resort not only offers a serene escape into nature but also plays a vital role in enhancing the lives of the Nation's people. The programs developed through the resort have provided essential services to the elderly, created educational opportunities, and fostered long-term economic growth, among other benefits. The Yavapai people, who speak Yuman, are closely related to the Hualapai, Supai, and other tribes along the Colorado River. The Dilzhe’e Apache, speaking an Athapaskan language, share linguistic ties with the Navajo to the north. Following the hardships of the 19th century, the survivors of these tribes were officially united under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, forming the Yavapai-Apache Tribe, which became the Yavapai-Apache Nation in 1992. The ancestors of the Yavapai and Dilzhe’e Apache were skilled hunters and gatherers, living harmoniously with the land and leaving minimal traces for archaeologists to uncover. Their seasonal movements were guided by the availability of resources and personal preferences.
