Lo Lo Mai Springs Outdoor Resort

When we arrived we were astonished to see the disrepair in this RV Park, especially since we paid over $100/night. We love to rough it, but when we want to have a nicer accommodation we accept paying a higher price for it. This was the higher price without any of the niceties.
I could start with the extremely cracked concrete pad, the no privacy between sites, the lack of wifi (they advertise wifi but when you get there they ask you don’t use it to stream- only to check emails, etc- We couldn’t even do that). The power pedestal was extremely loose and leaning backwards, the cover plate for the breakers was only connected on one side, and the water pressure was very low. I could continue with when we told them we may have a couple come up to stay for one night with us, we would be charged $25 per person. I’m ok with $10-$15 for the extra car, but per person?
The main factor in giving this one star is that the night we arrived we were discussing the fact that it looks like they don’t take care of the trees, and the next morning the tree right behind us fell on a very nice motor home and totaled it (slide torn away, roof dented in, other slides and toppers collapsed, a hole in the side). The first worker to see it drove up in his cart F-bombing to no end, the second worker said it’s the second worst case he’s ever seen 😳😳.
We went to the office and explained we did not feel safe staying in the park. The man said he could move us but not refund us. I can tell you that there are plenty of at risk for falling trees in that campground, it wasn’t just the one by us. There was a tree literally being held up by a cut off telephone pole. The neglect in the park is apparent and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Our neighbor said he’s been going for 30 years (dad bought a membership back in the day when they sold memberships) and he said he hasn’t seen a penny put into the place in 10 years . I’m attaching pictures - see for yourself!

The pros:
- Friendly staff.
- Friendly guests (except one, see below).
- Decent location for the Sedona area (20 minutes away)
- Not too loud.

The cons:
- Expensive. Easily the most I've ever paid for a site.
- Questionable on the "resort" aspect. I get why the pool is closed in winter but other typical resort amenities were missing. The clubhouse was closed with "COVID restrictions" (catch up, folks, it's not that serious anymore). The wifi is terrible. It's mostly dirt...everywhere.
- $2 for half stick of butter in the "sometimes store". Wow.
- Whoever designed the speed bumps needs to go back to paving school. Three in a row less than a few feet apart? Fun while towing up the big single lane hill to get out.
- The rules...are more guidelines. Lots of dogs. Most were leashed and well-behaved. The big white shepherd next to us was barking, not leashed, and charged my two dogs three times during our stay to the point where we just gave up staying outside. Kids were fishing the spring pond (no fishing). I enjoyed my morning cup of coffee looking out the window that backed up to the creek to watch a fat guy from three spots down peeing behind his pop-up. Not a joke. The bathrooms are literally less than 100 feet from his site.

Will not repeat.

We loved this location. It was nice staying in the section that was with less people. It looked like they booked us with couples around us with no kids which made our stay perfect. We had a nice creek behind us and a pond almost next to us. We stayed in spot 14 and it was nice and peaceful. We saw a skunk near the creek and toads in the pond. Loved listening to the cicadas. We will definitely stay again.

One of the best campgrounds we have stayed at! In a valley surrounded by trees and the Oak Creek. Pool with jacuzzi. Quaint cabins . Clean Men & women’s restrooms & separate showers. Beautiful pond with frogs & dragonflies. Campstore has the essentials & Dvd’s available. Pet alpaca’s . So peaceful there. About 10 miles from Sedona . No cell service except at clubhouse. Clubhouse not open but nice porch & courtyard.

Pros: outstanding staff. Nice amenities, pool and hot tub. Camp store was a huge plus. Creek was gorgeous and lovely to sit in. Tall trees, good breeze.

Cons: Sites are too close to each other and the road. We had a lovely view of the heavy equipment and compost pile. If we stay again, we will pre-select sites a little further away.

If you are looking for a tucked-away spot along Oak Creek with lots of trees, creek access points, wild life and a laid back vibe, this fits the bill! We have stayed here multiple times, for many days per stay, to enjoy the natural surroundings, low key vibe and GREAT location (10 minute drive to Cottonwood, Clarksdale and Sedona, 20 minutes to Camp Verde, 30 minutes to Jerome and an hour(ish) to Prescott and Flagstaff). Surrounded by hiking, off-roading and petroglyphs.

The people are kind and facilities are basic but clean. We stayed in our 21 ft tear drop across all four seasons, in the lower campground area (mixed use of rv and tent camping sites) which is immersed in the trees and close to the creek. We’ve seen everything from owls, hawks, cardinals, robins and herons to squirrels, raccoon, skunk and cows! The property is also home to a trio of sweet alpacas, peacocks, goats and chickens and has a beautiful fresh water spring where dragonflies flit about during the warmer months. Hands down our favorite place to stay in this part of the state!
