Pine Flat Campground

- This site backs up to the water (short walk down an embankment).
- It is a BEAUTIFUL area, shaded sites.
- No electric, water, or sewer hookups.
- Water stations are near the bathrooms, and you could only fill water bottles. There was no way to directly connect a hose to the camper to fill our water tank.
- Sites are small, but this is fine for us. A dude with an Airstream damaged his rig by hitting a rock.
- Be careful when turning into or out of this campground. People drive really fast on 89A.
- Close to Slide Rock SP.

Beautiful trees and tucked at the base of red rocks. We really loved this campground. Yes, you are close to the road and can hear traffic, but by 10 pm there were virtually no cars on the road and it stayed really quiet through the night. Very clean bathrooms (pit toilets) and very clean grounds overall. $22 usual rate but only $11 with Access Pass. Very convenient location between Flagstaff and Sedona.

Spot 22 is a back in spot, a little tight to back into it due to a curve in the road - with our 25 foot travel trailer. But we made it - in the dark! About 50 feet down a steep hill to small stream which was beautiful. Beware of flash floods during monsoon season. Steller’s Jays in trees. Skunk walked through site one night. Fire pit, cement table, and level site overall. Also had tent and popup with plenty of room. About 75 feet to nearest campers. Bathrooms fairly nice - pit type. Drinkable water at each via faucet - no hose connection to fill water. No dump station. Wood and Ice for sale by hosts. We brought own wood and had nice fires each night in firepit - iron ringed with grate. Also nice metal BBQ grill at each site. (Didn’t use)

Worst part is near constant traffic on road nearby. Some sites are very close to road, but even ours being one of the farthest, traffic noise was not low. Probably due to small canyon you are in.

We Hiked West Fork of Oak Creek trail - beautiful! 8 miles/four hours; fairly flat and mostly shade. Temps great. Pups loved it. $8 fee to park. Highly recommend this hike. Fairly busy though.

Biggest cons: traffic, no dump station, moderately close to other campsites.
Pros: near stream, level, beautiful site with birds in trees.

We have a 30 ft fifth wheel (Arctic Fox 27-7L) and the sites and accessibility was too small for us to fit in our reserved campsite. There was no camp host on site, so we ended up having to move to a dispersed site near Marys Lake outside Flagstaff. The sites were pretty, but too small for us.

As an aside, Sedona was breathtaking, but the area is heavily commercialized. For someone looking for a tourist experience with tour guides and lots of people, Sedona would be perfect. We unfortunately were hoping to get away from crowds and more peace and quiet.

Please understand my low rating is based on my situation and biases. The scenery is exceptional and would no doubt work well for others.

There are no hook ups here, but there are nice level sites with asphalt surfaced parking. You can get good potable water. It is near the road as many have mentioned but its a two lane road without semis or honking cars. It was just white background noise. The hosts keep it very clean and you can get firewood and ice. It was very relaxing after a month of busy traveling. Good cell service, too.

Great campground for being in busy Sedona. Very crowded, don’t expect peace and quiet while being here. It is located next to the highway, and the occupancy is very high. With the all the noise it still is a nice campground overall. Especially due to the popularity of the area. Hiking is awesome. Especially since there is a trailhead at the campsite itself. Cook stove is a nice little hike and presents some nice challenges and amazing views.

After four failed attempts to find a place to land for the night (two campgrounds not yet open for the season in mid-April and two dispersed sites that would not have been navigable in our low clearance van), we would have camped just about anywhere! Fortunately there were spots available here and we were greeted by a super friendly and welcoming camp host. Sites were all flat with tent pads; most had decent privacy between sites. All have fire rings, large picnic tables in good shape, grills, and lantern hooks. Vault toilets were clean. Artesian well that some reviews said the water quality was questionable; camp host says she drinks it but others do not. We filled up our water jugs and will give it a go. If it weren’t for the proximity to the road (89A) and the noise that goes with it (site 18 you might as well BE in the road!), I would have given this place 5 stars! For $11 (50% off with senior pass), this place was perfect for us!

We arrived in the middle of the night in a rainstorm, luckily we got a spot and bedded down for the night. Woke up to the most awe inspiring view of the mountains.
Pros: The View, newly upgraded fire pit, charcoal grill, benches and tent pads, everything was level and set up well, firewood and ICE available from host, campground is close enough to Sedona with a scenic drive and hiking galore!!
Cons: Accessibility is rough, no showers, vault toilets, no hand sanitizers in bathroom or counters or hooks (but bathroom was clean and well stocked), proximity to road kind of a bummer, but we didn’t feel it was too loud.
Tips: GO SLOW so you don’t miss the entrance. It is one way once you’re in the site. To the left are reserved sites, rightside are first come first serve. This campsite is located on a very windy road 89A. It is not convenient to pull off, make a u-turn or go back.SO GO SLOW DONT MISS YOUR TURN.
