Pine Flat Campground

We stayed on both sides of the campground and really preferred the sites on the first come first serve side. The reservable side has direct access to the creek that sounds & looks like a meditation video. The hosts at this campground were incredible & we’re SO helpful when we had issues with our truck. We have a 22’ camper and would fit in probably about 2/3 of the sites. No dump close by, you have to go up the switchbacks to Flagstaff or down to Cottonwood or Camp Verde unfortunately. The road is a little annoying, but we got used to it after the first night. Showers down the street at Cave Springs campground-$6 for 8 minutes 😳

Overall, perfect place to stay when exploring Sedona if you don’t want to pay a ton of money for an RV park or boondock.

Drop-dead gorgeous scenery. Easy access to both Sedona and Flagstaff. Easy access for small trailers and camper vans. There is highway noise, but if you get a site next to the river, it's mostly drowned out.

It's not a 'deep in the wilderness and get away' campground. But it's really awesome campground if you're doing activities toward the cities. The commute is hard to beat.

Recreation.gov gives you a guide for the max. length for each site and it's generally accurate.

- 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.
