Personal Comments:
Only a short drive from Sedona, walking distance from Tuzigoot National Monument, the Verde River Greenway Natural Area, Jerome State Historic Park, Fort Verde State Historic Park, Red Rock State Park (a nature center), Slide Rock State Park, Montezuma Castle National Monument, Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Area, and Mingus Mountain in the Prescott National Forest, this campground is ideal as a base camp. We chose to stay here and take short day trips to many of the surrounding attractions. The park is nice and quiet, with plenty to do right in the park boundarys.
There are many hiking trails, mountain bike trails and horse back trails that surround the park, and some that elave right from the campground area.
