Verde River RV Resort & Cottages

The location was nice and offered a lot of things to do outside of the campground such as mountain biking, hiking, fishing and kayaking. It was nice to have power/water/sewer hookup and cable since we generally dry camp. Our spot was under a mulberry tree which was nice for shade but it dropped pods all over the place and the site produced a lot of mud/dirt which was the main downside, aside from being pretty close to other sites. No fire pit (no biggie with the fire ban) or table and pretty limited on spots to put chairs. Free breakfast was nice, as was the craft fair. Lots of full time RVers. Although the amenities were nice, I think we’ll stick with dry camping.

Pros:
Very secure.
Well maintained.
Friendly helpful staff.
Clean bathrooms, laundry facilities and showers.
Maintenance staff was making constant upgrades/improvements to the park while we stayed there.
Convenient camp store.
Cons:
Long-stay neighbor continually let their dogs relieve themselves near our rig.
Another long-stay neighbor smoked cigars outside. With prevailing winds our site was down wind of his - nasty stuff!

Our experience was not a pleasant one. I won't go on much of a rant BUT to explain a bit what had happened at the bottom if you care to read.

Pros: You can walk to the river. Plenty of room for doggos. Laundry was close (and clean). GREAT location. Views are good. Cell signal was good also. Level sites.

Cons: Too many rules - front & back of paper full of them. Rude staff.

*Most amenities were closed - we were there during the COVID situation.

Rant: We arrived late. Husband was hooking up water. Broke the PVC putting the lid back on their water contraption. We tried to fix it but we had the wrong PVC size. Called their emergency number because water was spewing EVERYWHERE. Lady was rude and irritated (I get it, I didn't want to be dealing with this at 10pm either). They arrived. Had an attitude like a cranky 5 year old. Asked if they needed help holding a flashlight or anything. They told me to move and said "Nope! I got it. Thanks." So I went inside and let them do their thing... 10 minutes later they knocked and said we had to move our RV up because we are over the 'line' in the back and they needed to 'mow.'

Next day. We got called again. Told to move up... again. They are going to mow. We moved up, reluctantly (it was MAYBE 2ft...)

They mowed the day before we left and the kicker?! The guy mowing the DIRT hit our RV patio!!! Ran right into it!! No damage but STILL!! Pay attention. Then he denied it... It just wasn't our type of park.

This is a wonderful campground. Many of the sites have trees and grass is everywhere. The sites are clean and it’s perfectly situated for exploring the area. The WiFi works but is quite slow however Verizon works great!
The campground is convenient to Montezuma Castle, Red Rock Crossing and the other well known places to visit. In the little town Camp Verde, there is another great find. Beasley Flat rd has river access and a day use area with picnic tables and such. It’s a free place to go swimming or kayaking or tubing. For kayaking, put in at white bridge.

This is a very nice park with very nice amenities. The park is well laid out and the sites are long with plenty of room. The wi-fi was decent but Verizon signal was strong too. They have a nice pool and spa, the pool closes for winter but the spa is open all year and is really nice. At the entrance to the park is a very nice facility with a movie viewing room, a small fitness center and a billiards room. The restrooms, showers and laundry facilities are clean and very nice. They have a small mini-golf course on site as well. It’s a short trip to Sedona, which is a must see.
