We offer various camping accommodations, as well as a teepee. See our different listings for info on each. A few choice examples of local activities to do on or very near to our campsite include: Bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, stargazing, and even rockhounding. This area conforms to the Arizona Dark Sky initiative, and while we are not dark-sky certified, we've had several guests compliment us on our location. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study.  The cliff walls of the Verde River offer clear and distinct sedimentary layers, and the frequent flooding of the massive sandy riverbed reveals countless undiscovered treasures.We gladly welcome pets, including horses, as long as the guests inform us of their presence, and takes care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess. There is a professional horse-boarding field and stables adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders to follow the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood if they so desire. Please remember that this is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde Ripparian Greenway and the Verde River. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects.

We were in site 4 that looks over the neighbors horse farm. Close to the porta potty and running water. Nice trees for my hammock and plenty of space for my large tent. Plenty of space between sites. Sounds & smells of nature. Thanks for creating a reasonable camping option for us ‘last minute’ adventurers!!

Great spot - very clean. Our wood was delivered, camp sites were nice and we appreciated the trees and proximity to Sedona and Jerome.

Vicky's land was spacious and quiet, we could hear the birds singing. Stargazing was great at night. The walk to the river was about 13 minutes. Vicky was quick to respond on the Hipcamp app.

We loved camping here! The site was huge and our kids and dogs had plenty of room to roam! The birds and wildlife was so fun! Super close to the Verde river ! We will definitely be staying again!

We enjoyed a great plasant weekend underneath some old old cottonwood trees. Very enjoyable. The place was pretty full, but plenty of distance between other campers who are all respectful. Good place for dogs.

Vicky’s campsites are well maintained and secluded while still being very close to town. It was a great place to stay while visiting Sedona and the surrounding areas! Sure, there was a slight manure smell depending on the wind and some farm noise, but I truthfully found it to be decently quiet and quite comfortable. Would highly recommend if you need a low frills campsite while exploring.

Teepee experience!!
Vicki provided an awesome experience and tucked away location for a family to disconnect, and camp away (tables, our first teepee, river access,). This was all still super close to stores and restaurants if you prefer and historic sites too. We had a great time and would definitely come again

Vicky’s spot was perfect for a one night getaway! Directions were spot on, and river is easy to find from camp. Bundle of wood was hardly enough for one fire, get extra!

We loved the short little walk over to the river and how much you could hear it at the campsite. Nice big trees provide perfect shade during the day.

Perfect for us!
We camped for 2 nights and 3 days at camp ground number 3, the circle of trees. The trees provided great shade, and there was a fire pit and picnic table available. Bathrooms and running water were not far and were very clean. This campground is about 30 minutes away from all of the gorgeous hikes in Sedona, so a great place to stay if you don’t want to spend big $$$ on camping in Sedona. Also, the town is adorable, and we were able to shop around their boutiques and farmers market. Great stay!

Simple and peaceful escape
Such a cute space- simple and intimate- not to far from Sedona- it’s a nice space for us and our dogs. Vicky the host is very accommodating- we bought firewood from them too she drives it up to our site- super nice! The birds in the morning very relaxing sounds

I'd return
There 2 nights. There seemed to be a couple other sites taken, but it was quiet with an easy walk to the river. Some small plane noise both mornings, so there is that. Beautiful spot, plenty of shade and a large site.

Hidden Desert Gem !
We knew Vicky’s property looked nice online but we had no idea how much of a treat we were in for ! The first morning we woke up we were greeted by a choir of birds chirping and deer passing by. We loved it so much we decided to stay another night, and Vicky was extremely quick and efficient with her response and accommodations. One of the best features is that the campsite is tucked away in a little oasis. Vicky even went the extra mile to tell us about a trail we could take to visit breathtaking river views not far from our camp !!! Very scenic and serene all around yet another highlight is its convenient location. Within minutes you can be in the charming town of cottonwood or venture out to explore what Sedona or Jerome has to offer. Really great stay and well worth the price. It was the perfect place to celebrate our pup’s birthday, he loved it so much - and even made friends with the host dog. These hip campers are doing it right ! Would happily stay here again (:

I enjoyed the one night I stayed here. I ordered firewood at the last minute and it was delivered before dark. I liked my site because it's one of two that are sort of separated from the rest, making it a little more private. My only complaint is that it was dusty and that the cottonwood pollen was in full force! It was everywhere, in my tent, car, everywhere. I was under a huge tree and pretty close to the river. I did have to tromp through and over dead wood & overgrown vegetation, but I made it to the river to sit and relax for a bit, without anyone else around (it was a Thurs/Fri). I enjoyed the peacefulness. The bathroom consists of two portapotties and the sink is a hose. They were clean. I would suggest they put a 3-4 ft. post in the ground with a hook to hang the hose so folks don't have to bend down to get the hose each time and for guests to hang a towel if they bring one. Not a huge deal, but would make washing your hands easier for sure. The next day I drove to Jerome which was only 20 minutes away. Overall I enjoyed the campsite and the surrounding farm area.

30th Birthday trip!
I spent 5 nights camping here for my 30th birthday! Vicky's property is lovely! Lots of big trees that a provide a ton of shade from the AZ sun! About 30 minutes from Sedona and just outside of the town of Cottonwood, and being right along the river is great, it was a few degrees cooler than town at night! I was worried about my dog with all of the cacti/spikey things in AZ, but there were very few, if any in the campsite! The sites are large and it is in a quiet area. Vicky was very easy to contact. Only thing that would make it better is a shower, but the river and the hose were just fine! Thank you for a wonderful time!

The spot is beautiful but the price is high for a site with no potable water or other amenities beyond a portapottie

Very simple, basic backyard campground. Easy to find and close to Cottonwood. Porta potties and a hose. Our spot was near the manure piles of the horse ranch next door so there was that. Overall, a great place to crash when exploring the Verde Valley

Loved this site!!
Absolutely LOVED our stay. It’s such a quiet, cozy and private feeling campground. When you drive down the hill toward the site, there is a small-scale farm and just past it a horse ranch (it was magical). There are a handful of trails on site to explore, you can see the Tuzigoot Monument from the campsite. Vicky was very hospitable (delivered firewood to us and also sent me a message to explain a big booming noise we were hearing…. Apparently there is a civil war reenactment across the river lol—didn’t detract from our relaxation and didn’t last long). Highly recommend!! I’d definitely come back. Safe, comfy, and quiet.

Peace and quiet
Beautiful area right next to Tuzigoot ruins. Campsites are shaded, clean and even had tons of kindling for building a fire. The self check in process was easy even with a midnight arrival the first night. Location is convenient to Sedona, Jerome, montezuma and others. Will return someday soon.
