I really cannot say enough great things about the parks in Arizona. This park has several different campgrounds. Each camp has its own host. The hosts cleaned each site as people moved in and out. Many of the sites around us had campers staying for single nights. The hosts would rake the grounds each time. They also cleaned the firepits, leaving any unused wood stacked neatly on the grates for the next person. We visited during March/Covid and face masks were still required when using the public bath houses. Although the shower stalls were older, they were cleaned daily. On one occasion, I ran out of hot water during my shower. I'm sure the time of day was the reason. This location is in close proximity to several different day trips. We visited Sedona, Jerome, Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monument. We had T-Mobile 5G coverage without the need to use the booster. We were in Coopers Hawk Loop. There wasn't much shade in the area. If you want more shade, I'd recommend staying in Quail Loop. It's closer to the river and there are trees in the area.

Typical State Park experience with 50 amp plus water, but no sewer. Having to dump during the stay is a hassle, but you get a big space and (from our spot) a nice view for a good price. We were there in February so no leaves on the Cottonwoods, and everything was brown and dead. Should be beautiful when the trees are leaved out. Trails... more
Typical State Park experience with 50 amp plus water, but no sewer. Having to dump during the stay is a hassle, but you get a big space and (from our spot) a nice view for a good price. We were there in February so no leaves on the Cottonwoods, and everything was brown and dead. Should be beautiful when the trees are leaved out. Trails were not bad right out of the campground. Not Sedona, mind you. Not even close, but still it was nice to take a hike directly from our site. Lots of mountain bikes. Asphalt pad.

Views are great, rangers are friendly. Showers need serious attention including cleaning and maintenance. Shower spouts are so tiny 1.5" and the water trickles on you. Beware curtains are short so dry area floods no matter what you do. Hair in drain and other filth around. Needs a serious update to be in same shape as all other state parks. Men's appear to be cleaner. Ladies disabled stall does not have hand held shower head like men's.
Nice camping apart from that.

Fantastic park with plenty of room. Great little old town with good restaurants and shops. Ride your bike on many trails all around the park. Better to stay in the upper loops. We would stay here again.

Campsites were closer than what I’d have liked however, for our 1 night stay that wasn’t that bog of a deal. Our campsite (64) had unobstructed views!

Great, clean state park with power and water. Perfect for our Maiden Voyage with the new trailer. Lots of little hiking trails around, lake and super close to stores if you forgot or need anything. Heard there is a lot of wineries and breweries close by when not closed by COVID.
