We have stayed here in the past and will continue to use it as an overnight stop when passing through. The pad we had this time was narrow, we just barely got our wheels on it (pull-thru). Also, I had to put blocks under the back wheels so I could level the rig. We noticed that the sites where sloped at one end, I guess for monsoon run off. We took the little bus over to the casino and ate at their cafe, meal was good and they discounted the bill because we had a slot card. Clean park, well maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I camped on Passport America rate, plus tax. Site selection is important since campground is on a hill, and there are many uneven concrete sites that require an extra amount of leveling for motorhomes. Park is beautifully maintained and has a nice mountain view. Electric power was steady at 116 volts. Office staff was pleasant at check-in. I did not use clubhouse facilities. We camped in third row up from southern edge of park. The sewer drains and sewer plant are at the west end of this row, and it was quite smelly outside when we camped here. Also, we were careful backing in since our duals would barely fit on the concrete site pad. Choose your site wisely, and this could be a 10 campground. I would definitely stay here again if I got a more level site up on the hill away from sewer plant. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Feels like we arrived in Heaven. After a terrible experience at Western Horizons "Resort" we came here and THIS IS A RESORT!!! There is every amenity a fulltimer could possibly need, and we're chillin with 2 AC's running and unlimited FREE wireless internet. Worth every dollar! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This would be a great park for a family in a fully equipped larger RV. It was clean and neat and well-managed. We felt secure. But for us, it was more of a "5." You need a key to get to the restrooms/showers, but the key is at the desk of the office that is closed for about 10-12 hours out of every 24. And getting to the office from our site required climbing stairs, which one of us cannot do. It was a nice park which we would *not* visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Distant Drums is exceptionally clean and neat. We are full-timers and we have never stayed in a campground where they clean the showers/bathrooms after every single use! The air conditioned and heated private bathrooms are complete, with a toilet, sink, and shower. They even provide you with a disposable bath mat, chair, touchless paper towel dispenser, soap, etc. The laundry room is large and spotless! They use a card system rather than quarters for the washers & dryers, which you buy at the front desk. It has an ironing board, iron, sink, rod to hang clothes, two counters and a TV. There's a computer & printer in the lobby for guests, a sofa with a large TV, fireplace and library in the community room. We intended to stay one night and ended up staying nine days! Loved it there and highly recommend it. Very friendly, helpful staff! Great rates, too (Good Sam's discount makes it even better). We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here two years ago, and loved it then. Nothing has changed and it is still a great RV park. We were on our way home after a three week trip, and planned to stay for one night, but decided to stay an extra night since it is so nice. Showers and rest rooms are spotless, and it is just a nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, new park conveniently located near the freeway. Concrete pads are wide but not many pull throughs or long sites available. Our 40' coach occupied full length of site so a 45' coach would not fit. Park is on sloping hillside so many sites are somewhat unlevel. Very helpful staff at park. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned after each use, believe it or not. Wi-fi worked great the entire time of our stay. Excellent laundry facilities. Park was a nice base for visiting Sedona, Cottonwood and Montezuma Castle. We can recommend this park and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in Distant Drums RV Park for four nights and thought it a very friendly and well maintained RV park. The sites are all paved and swept clean by volunteer camp hosts. The Wi-Fi signal is excellent. A nice trail to walk dogs exists beyond the perimeter of the park. For all the amenities that are available, it is very reasonably priced. The two negatives is that there are no tables and the best sites are reserved for motor-homes but I would definitely return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here with our RV club caravan of 13 rv's. The staff was very friendly in the office. The yard staff helped us with backing in a few rigs. When one rig would vacate the space was raked and swept clean. One staff member took pictures of our first night buffet and gave it to all of us as a keepsake DVD. New trees will provide some shade in the warm months. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here for 2 weeks part of a group of 15 rigs. Our group was kindly offered a discount rate even though we did not ask for it. Most sites are back ins. Sites are cement pads and ours was quite even. These are not long sites but long and wide enough to easily accommodate our 36 Ft rig and plenty of room to park the car and put out a few chairs. One of our party had a 40 ft rig and they also had plenty of room. Club room and central kitchen facilities were excellent. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Very central location to all the local sites - Montezuma's Castle, Sedona, Jerome, etc. New trees have been planted which may provide shade someday, but not now. Wi-Fi is free and our reception was excellent if a little slow but if this is important try to get a spot close to the office. Outer areas of the park had weak reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We pulled in last night and got their last site. Hence, the park feels and looks really packed. Whoever designed this park did some things right and some things wrong. The right things are: They designed the perimeter view sites as pull-ins, so you can actually enjoy the view from your front window. The bad news is: Out of 150 sites only 10 are pull-thrus. The others are tight, short, (barely 42'), and no table. In addition, because the sites are so short, you need to park your tow car on your patio. It's a very clean park, (concrete pads, paved roads, very few trees) they collect your trash daily, it is well located to Sedona as well as easy on/off from the I-17 freeway. You will have a little freeway noise, but not unbearable. We would come back, but only if we could book a pull-thru or their pull-in view sites (#'s 35 through 50). We camped here in a Motorhome.

The appearance of this park is great, its location for touring the area is good. The biggest downfall is the close proximity of some of the sites. After we set up we had neighbours back in beside us, the site design placed the back of their 5th wheel so close to our trailer that we could not walk between the two units. As well it is not the easiest sites to back into, we had to cut across the corner of the parking pad, this makes it hard the tires. Who ever designed this park really did not do a good job. Yes they utilized all the space they had available but it places the sites way to close together. For the price you pay at this park it is not really worth it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Amount reflects monthly rate. Camp is clean and orderly but the sites are very close together. There are concrete pads but they are not necessarily level. No picnic tables and moderate water pressure. If you have a fifth wheel, make sure that you get a site with the site across from you is vacant. That is about the only way you will be able to back in. The hot tub is very nice and the laundry room clean. But this is really like a parking lot camping. Beautiful views to the south if you can see them around the other campers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a tight fit. Not so much for the roads around the park, but the sites are quite close together. You would think you were in a prime location, not in the middle of Arizona high country. Anyway, it is one of two RV parks on I-17, with the other about 40 miles North, so it has a nitch in the market. Plus, it is just across the hiway from an Indian casino. It's clean, neat, water OK, elec OK, sewer at midpoint, a nice pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground, some permanents but nothing really old. For a new campground the sites were not as level as they could be. Our neighbor's slideout wound up be about 1 foot for ours, even though we were on an end of row site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place has everything, except picnic tables and shade!!! Clean, secure, no stone roadways or sites, happy campers abound, absolutely no obvious 'permanents'. Loved it, will stay here again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice, clean and well maintained RV park. Despite being just off I-17 we felt the road noise was minimal. We had our windows open nearly every day and evening until bedtime and only were aware of the highway when an especially loud truck, car or motorcycle went by. The sites are about average for a commercial campground but they are nicely landscaped. Some hookup pedestals are shared but with the camper who is parked behind you instead of next to you which means the pedestals are on the correct side. Some of the back-in sites are really pull-in sites but those have a nice view of the countryside out of the front window. There are a few W/E only sites but the vast majority are full hook-up. The main building is spacious and contains the usual C-Store (which wasn't stocked during our visit), lounge with a big screen TV, laundry, showers and exercise room. The laundry uses plastic cards which can be purchased at the registration desk (they refund any unused portion) instead of coins. The showers are cleaned after each use. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice. The cable-TV contains only about a dozen channels but it is a nice mix. The Wi-Fi seems adequate although we were parked fairly near the transmit/receive point. The nightly rate of $28 was based on their weekly rate. They are a Good Sam park and usually when you take the weekly rate at a park they do not apply the 10% Good Sam discount. Not here. We got 10% off of the weekly rate! The park is located about 15-miles from a Super Wal-Mart and just about 5-minutes from a Basha's supermarket. Sedona is about a 25-minute ride. We would definitely recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well run park. Staff friendly and helpful, including the resident managers. Wi-Fi was adequate. Neat and clean. Office hours from 6 am to 9 pm! Some interstate noise, but tolerable. We were very happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here several times - extremely clean and well appointed. We use this as a base for all the places around including Sedona. Highly recommend it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is extremely clean and very well maintained. Roadways in the park are a bit narrow but do-able as were the sites which are all concrete pads but we found where the coach went was a bit narrow for a back in site. Pool area looked great, unfortunately didn't have time to try it! Its an easy access to the interstate 40. Seemed to have a large number of long term campers, very friendly people. Garbage pickup at the sites in the morning. Nice trail area off to the west of the campgrounds for dog walking. We would definitely return here when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, clean, even a good work out room with weights. BUT - the wide sites are laid out in such a strange manner. The rig in the row behind actually winds up being about 5' from the side of your rig. Wide to park your towed vehicle on one side but REAL close on the other side. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of those parks you come across just once in awhile. The park is very clean, neat and well maintained. The staff is well informed about the park and the surrounding area. We started to stay for three days and ended up staying for a week. We were charged the weekly rate (last night free) so we were very pleased. We would recommend this Park to anyone looking for a Park that is one or two steps above most highly rated Parks. Within 30-45 minutes of major attractions and sight-seeing. Casino just five minutes away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice. Has all the amenities and is well cared for and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Being that this park is one of our favorites, we decided to spend Thanksgiving there. It is still very clean & the staff very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to see the level of cleanliness is still excellent. Usually as a park matures, the upkeep tends to deteriorate. Not so at this park. Had no problem parking our fifth wheel. We got a nice wide open space further down towards the casino. Aside from a boisterous person in a small fifth wheel across from us, it was quiet most of the time. I'm not sure if he was a park employee or what? Overall our stay was very nice & the grandkids had a blast hiking the trail across the street from the park's entrance. We'll definitely keep coming back to this beautiful RV park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fine overnight. Great casino in site. Nice staff, good dog play area. We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for a full week and felt as if we had discovered a great "secret" campground. The location was perfect for visiting Sedona, Cottonwood and Jerome. Cliff Castle Casino is just across highway. The facilities were spotless and modern. The sites were well landscaped and offered concrete parking pads as well as excellent privacy. This campground has been added to our "favorites"! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park. Three types of sites. Pull thrus, Pull ins, and back ins. All sites are paved. Pull thrus are long but narrow. Back ins are a good choice if you are disconnecting. On the south end are a few pull ins for motorhomes which over look the valley. WiFi worked well at my site (close to office). Would definitely return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Real nice place.......sites paved and landscaped, although they could be a bit larger. Staff very helpful. Only caveat: Exercise room is NOT air conditioned. Fan and open window is your "AC." Heat from laundry room next door aggravates the problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Immaculate facilities. Very competent and attentive staff. One of the best parks that we have visited. Very convenient location. Will stay here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean park. Nice staff. Centrally located and easy on and off. It would be nice if they had tables on the patios. Limited pull-throughs, but all sites are paved and somewhat level. We would stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an immaculate park with terrific mountain and Verde Valley views with easy I-17 access. Staff was very accommodating and they take great care in keeping up the park. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is that I found the sites may be just a tiny bit hard to get in to. Otherwise...absolutely no complaints. We had an end pull-through so no maneuvering problems, but I can see if someone has a middle of the row site, and a large rig, it may take a few shots at getting situated. There are only 10 pull throughs in the entire park so if this is vital to you, I would recommend reserving as far in advance as possible or calling before heading out. Pool is a nice size and was super clean as was the spa. We were the only ones in it on both days. It is very close to Cliff Castle casino, (just on the other side of 17) and there are many other fast food and retail establishments just one exit south on 17 (about 3 miles). An easy drive to Cottonwood, National Monument sites and, of course, Sedona!. The back-in spaces on the perimeter of the park (the most southern and western spaces) will give the best views. They do ask that you walk your pets outside the perimeter of the park, but most folks, at night especially, used the grassy areas within the park and were very good at picking up after their pets. Trash is collected at your site daily. Cable and Wifi is free, but wifi signal at our site was fair at best. There are also phone hookups. There is also a PC in the office/country store. Would certainly stay again while traveling through the Verde Valley. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We cannot say enough about this park. The sites were level and paved. Everything about the park was immaculate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out was a breeze as was filling up with LP. This was not a planned stop on our trip, but it will be from now on. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park. Perfect location as a base camp for Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome. Whatever you want to go and do it is all within a 30 minute drive or less. Easy access from 1-17. Large paved sites, super nice staff. Pool and jacuzzi were really nice. With temps in the lower 100's, the pool water is very comfortable. If you stay here, be sure to go to Blazin'M Ranch for the cowboy dinner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This has to be one of the cleanest parks I've seen. It is conveniently located between Sedona & Cottonwood making it very easy to go out to dine or just shop. The amenities are plentiful & well maintained. The showers are spotless as are the laundry room & exercise room. The pool is large & clean along with a nice size jacuzzi. The managers & staff are very friendly & well informed. It is a kid & pet friendly park. The concrete spaces are set far apart with very well maintained landscaping. All spaces are full hook-up, which includes free wifi & free local phone hook up. Propane is available near the office building. This place is a treat to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very convenient access off I-17 across interstate from Cliff Castle Casino. Paved interior road & sites. Well setup park. Staff very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed one week . Nice layout with great view . Management allowed a dog run on a site with two large dogs . The dogs barked on at all hours of the night and day. The rule, "Indoor pets accompanied on a leash when outside", was not followed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here a month in site #110, a back in site. Was able to get our 35 ft trailer and HDT in this site. Is a airport across the interstate, had little airplanes flying in and out most mornings. The interstate noise wasn't a problem, but could be for those closer to it. Interior roads are asphalt and sites are concrete. Lots of sites are unlevel side to side, and others front to rear. Pull thrus are very tight. Could be 1 foot from your neighbor's slide out. Site #80, I'd say is the best easy in easy out pull thru. Does have cable TV, free Wi-Fi, "free" on site phone line, staff is very friendly and helpful, very clean campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park and right near the highway so easy to get to Sedona and Jerome and all the other interesting sights. The sites were a good size and there was a area in the back of the park where you could walk your pet. The park was very clean and the garbage was picked up each morning from in front of your RV. The people in the office were very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice, clean park, good location, long paved spaces with a patio, very clean restrooms and laundry and free WIFI that works!! They had garbage pick up every morning at your site. They have a new casino across the highway with shuttle service. Would definitely stay again. Convenient to get to Sedona, Montezuma Castle, etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here two nights to visit nearby Sedona. I chose this place based on ratings here, and we were not disappointed! This place was immaculate, clean and it really showed that the management cares for the place. The showers/bathrooms are cleaned after every use. The kitchen and clubhouse is very nice and the staff there were friendly. They also have a laundromat and a workout room, as well as a pool and a jacuzzi. The only nitpick would be the odd placement of some utilities in the lot we were in, but fortunately we were able to use the lot next to us. Otherwise the power/water lines would need to be quite long. A minor issue that was by far better than staying in some of the nearby RV parks we had looked at after finding the state park we wanted to stay at was booked. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Distant Drums is an easy access, easy check in, easy park and setup campground. The staff is great and most of the sites have a great view. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and met some wonderful folks. We will absolutely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WOW... cleanest resort I've seen. If you use their shower/toilet rooms you log in, get a key & once you're done they clean the unit. All services are included & work well including cable & site WiFi. Staff is VERY helpful & friendly. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Maybe the cleanest park we have ever stayed in. Sites were concrete and perfect. Would go back anytime. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Don't try the pull-throughs. You can't pull in with your toad attached. The roads are too narrow and the pad is only 10 feet wide. I was on pad 73 and there is a 6 inch drop off the right of the pad which could be an axle buster. Fortunately a fellow camper helped me onto the pad. The back-ins are actually easier to get into. You pay extra for the pull-through and end up with side by side hookups. My neighbor was very close to my hookup side. I stayed here last year in a back-in. It is a clean 'RV Park'. Probably the best in the area. No wi-fi - at least I could not find it. I will stay here again while in the area but I will ask for a back-in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was a delight to visit. It is clean and well managed. The hosts were quite friendly. The spaces are level and paved! Also paved is a space next to the motor home where you can park your tow vehicle. The park is close to a casino which had an outdoor concert the night we stayed. We could hear the music clearly from our campsite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best parks we have ever stayed in. Everything is top notch, including the courteous, friendly staff. The community center is spotless throughoutand includes a complete exercise room. Since this is a fairly new park, the shade trees have not fully developed, but the other landscaping is beautiful. Because of the dryness in this area, it is obvious why there are no fire rings and no fires allowed. Although Rt. 17 is nearby, the traffic noise is minimal. We will recommend this park to whoever we meet and will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were very happy with our stay here. The pool is clean, and the kids enjoyed it. The showers were spotless. One signs out a key from the desk for a "shower room." It has a lavatory and a shower. There is plenty of room, and it is a nice change from usual CG showers. Our site was level. The park was clean and appealing. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visted April 06, very pleased with C/G. This is one of the nicest C/G in the area of Sedona. Would visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very Clean park, however still no picnic tables for fire rings. Some of us would like to sit out at night and talk with friends over a fire and enjoy popping corn or just watching the fire. Having a table to eat at would be nice also. We all don't go there just to gamble. Very expensive place to park your unit and listen to the traffic on I-17. I think this is the last time we will use this park. It is good for overnight stays, just not for weekend get aways. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a very nice park. Very clean with paved pull through sites. Very nicely landscaped. Very friendly staff and always ready to help. Laundry room kept very clean with new washer & dryers. Weight room, equipment in perfect condition. Garbage picked up at you site. They have Wifi but only inside their building. We were very impressed with the park. Can not wait to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Free wifi, nice full private bathrooms, helpful friendly staff, free coffee, new park just over 2 years old, right off freeway, good size site, satellite friendly, ATV trail next to park for dog walking. Whiff of sewer smell on occasion but not enough to detract from a 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

No picnic tables available and some of the spots are hard to get into with a rig 30' or bigger. I-17 close to park so a bit loud at night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good new park, with concrete pads. I stayed 2 days. Instant [free] on site phone - but was only live on my neighbors pad. Mine was dead. Lots of staff but not well trained. They had lots of problems with the "computer" when I tried to register for the second day. A local RV dealer had rented all the pull-thrus for a "show" the weekend I was there - so I had to use a back-in - which was OK. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful park, magnificent views. New so everything is pristine. Lots of amenities. No wi-fi or plans for it. Very easy access to 1-17. Easy drive to Sedona and other small towns nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As someone who is RV'ing 345 days a year, this is one of the very best parks we've been in. The showers were very private and clean, the only drawback is that the showers are only open when the store/office is open. Same thing with the pool/spa. Sites are all concrete and level. This is what all campgrounds should acheive to be like. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was one of the highlites of a very long trip. I don't understand why Trailer Life only gave it a 5 for visual appeal, as the view is great. We used it as our base to visit Sedona and Montezuma's Castle. I don't know what else someone could ask for in a campground. They have everything and it's all nice. The casino/restaurant's are a short drive across the highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice new park. Friendly staff. Very clean. Close to I-17 but no real freeway noise. Casino shuttle will come pick you up. Worth the stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice new park just opened in Oct 2003. All sites are paved,large & nicely landscaped. Very friendly staff. The showers are cleaned after each use. Garbage is picked up at each site. This park is just off I-17 about 20 miles south of Sedona. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice clean campground and the folks that run it are great. There was only one site available, a pull through at the end with huge grassy area. With temps about 10 degrees less the Phoenix this could be a destination as well as an overnight stop. We'll stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Now I am not in the habit of rating a park 10 unless the park goes far and away above the line of duty to earn it. This is one of those. Rancho Verde is a lot like the Desert Rose in Fernley Nev. Rest rooms and showers that literally reek with clean. Grounds that are impeccably maintained,and owners that are people you are proud to know. Want to see the real meaning of Christian people ? stop by and visit them. The Wi-Fi was so good I was able to e-mail a file of 15 photos as fast on my laptop as i ever could at home on my desktop. Overall a really nice stay. hmmm, think i'll stay another night just cause i can. Try this place you will love it. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here in a 45' motorhome in a nice pull through. Maneuverability for the coach and toad was good. The park owners Chris and Bob are very active in keeping the place spotless and well maintained. This was a perfect base for us as we explored northern Arizona including Prescott, Sedona and the Grand Canyon. We did look at other RV parks in the area while we were here and this one was by far the best for us. We'll definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Free WI-Fi, Very nice small park, next door to Western Horizons Membership campground. Offered discounts for golf, very friendly reception and most helpful staff. As stated before do ask for directions don't use GPS. Stayed 10 days to explore the area and would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly and accomodating owners. This is a good location for touring Sedona, Flagstaff, Jerome, Payson, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

BIG RIGS: Do NOT use GPS to find park from I-17. It'll take you through a neighborhood. Recommend following directions found on web site ( Come in on W. Horseshoe Bend off Hwy 260). Very friendly staff with easy access for big rigs. We stayed in the lower section that had a small stream behind us, but there's no sewer by the stream. Satellite worked great. Walmart, Home Depot, etc. 11 miles away in Cottonwood. We liked this place and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A clean, quiet, well maintained park. The sites are level and good size. If you want a great basic park to tour Sedona and the red rocks area this is the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A real gem of an RV Park. The trees are a real treat in this part of the country and there is a grass area between sites. The roads and drives are level gravel but the picnic table patio is concrete.The owners are very helpful and it is a real quiet location. They have campsites on two levels; the lower level sites back onto a fast moving irrigation canal. I'm sure that children are welcome but there are no play facilities. Wi-Fi is weak and intermittent. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of my favorite parks thus far...small, quiet, enough trees to help shade but not block my satellite dome (except in the W&E only which I opted out of. Would have been fine with a movable manual dish - trees were tall & behind the sites, blocking the view to the south). The park is kept spotless. The owners are tireless and extremely helpful. Nice sized sites, mostly back-ins (the pull-throughs are actually back-to-back dual back-in sites, but if you are the first, you can pull through). The restrooms are private with a keyless code lock on the outside. The laundry facility was wonderful. I plan to visit again...will stay a month next time, rather than just a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Based on the quiet location, the price and the reviews of this park, we stayed here 4 nights and would recommend it to anyone. The lower level, with a few W&E sites ($23) along the ditch, is very nice and provides shade. The bathrooms were always clean, and the park is well-taken care of, and the owners are super nice. Didn't use the Wi-Fi, and cable TV would have been nice, but there's okay TV reception on antenna, and the Verizon aircard and phone were fine. Small grassy area for dogs too. Nice base camp for this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here while applying for a job in camp verde. The owners are very nice Christian people who bend over backwards to help you. We stayed in the downhill part of the park which made for a hard uphill walk for someone with my disabilities, but heck, i needed to cowboy up and walk more. The restrooms and showers were very clean, the Wi-Fi only worked for me while i was in the car in front of the office. I would recommend this place to anyone. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Bob & Chris Carpenter, onsite owners, are super people who go out of their way to be as helpful as possible and are very welcoming. We have wintered here for several years and consider Rancho Verde our second home. We spend at least two months here each winter. All services, medical and otherwise, are available within 12 miles. There are many nearby attractions. Even Phoenix and the Grand Canyon are nice day trips. Most sites are full hookups but there are around 8 with water & electric only (can be used for tents). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The owners will knock themselves out for you. Are very involved in maintaining a clean and functional park are are VERY friendly. A couple miles off the main hwy., but this is a great park to stay in. Will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Next door to Camp Verde Western Horizons Park just off Highway 260. We spent a week here. The owners, are most helpful & friendly. This park is immaculate & they are constantly cleaning & painting. They are always available to answer questions. A great place to stay while visiting Montezuma's Castle, Sedona, Jerome and Oak Creek Canyon. Cottonwood nearby has a Super Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't take site 17, all others would be ok. Pretty area and nice staff. Pool isn't heated in the winter and is closed, but spa is open. Would rate higher if pool was heated. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camp Verde RV Resort is a Western Horizon Resort and we’re staying here under RPI. It is a small RV resort with an activity center, pool and hot tub, laundry, book exchange, pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and activities scheduled daily. The staff (well, the one woman with whom we spoke) was nice, and as typical with Western Horizon Resorts, their WiFi is not reliable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place for the price. We used ccusa for the half off price of $14. Lots to see and do in the area, we stayed 3 nights. Easy in and out. Would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a members only resort, and I am a WHR member. The park is one of the nicest that I have stayed. There is lots of open space within the park and most of the campsites are quite large. This park is clean, well-kept and has the most amenities of any park where I have stayed and lots of activities. I will keep coming back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This a membership resort. Office very friendly and helpful. I will stop every change I get. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here under AOR. The rate was $6 + $1 for 30 amp/night. Our site had electric and water only. Park seems fine and has activities in the clubhouse. We were expecting full hook-ups and wi-fi. When we checked in, they said our site was EW only and the wifi wasn't working. By the next day, I was able to sign in and pay for wifi service with Tengo Internet, only to have it say "limited or no connectivity" within minutes of paying and I couldn't access it again for several hours. The wi-fi was "iffy" at best. Signal strength wasn't particularly good. Now that we have read the reviews on Distant Drums, I would stay there in future instead. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. We only stayed one night, but will definitely return in the future. It looks like they have a number of activities for people in the winter months. It is right next to a highway which is noisy during the day, but we did notice any problems with noise at night. Since we were only there for a night we did not notice any issues with rules. They even guide you to your space. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was real clean. Many rules, always blowing and raking the rocks from early morning, and makes a lot of dust. We all felt like outcast, we had 9 big rigs. No store for supplys. Real hard on pets. Got to see lots of wildlife. Good place to take walks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We only overnighted here but liked it a lot. The park is for 55+ folks, is clean as a whistle, has decent sized sites for an RV park, shrubs between the sites and has great free wifi. Nice people own/run this place. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owners keep the park very neat and well raked. There are lots of large trees for shade in the summer. We visited in the winter, and most of the trees were bare. Satellite viewing can be difficult from many of the sites. Originally we could not find the DirecTV satellite from our spot. We were moved from 37 to 31 and had no trouble finding the signal from the 101 satellite. Phoenix stations are available with a regular antenna. The sites are more than ample for big rigs and space to park another vehicle if towing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very well manicured and maintained park. The sites are all level and large enough to accommodate the big rigs. The showers and restrooms are clean, but kept a little too cool inside for this time of year. There is a nice covered area for groups to assemble. The downside for us was the fact that there is no grass at the sites, (pea gravel sites)which makes it very dusty and pebbles are easily tracked into the rig. To add to the dust, every day the maintenance staff is blowing leaves as they fall to the ground with gas leaf blowers, stirring up more dust and making it so that you can't be outside to enjoy the peace and quiet that you would expect at a campground. Leaf blowing starts at 8 am and ends at 5 pm daily! We stayed here in a 5th wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campgrounds are shady and level. The maintenance crew works continually raking the pea gravel throughout the sites. This place is very nice for the elderly. The best way I can sum it up is that this is a place where the "regulars" gather in the morning, share their daily stories, do their toddys, and disappear into their RVs by noon. If you have any activities outdoors in the late afternoon, or heaven forbid, in the evening, you will have staff visiting you. I am talking so much as lights or a card game. The place is transformed into a cemetery by nightfall. I will admit it is well kept and nice in the trees in this part of Arizona however if you are pre-sixty and like to talk and laugh after six PM, your in for quite a restful stay. Bring headphones if you like music. We will not stay again. We are 56 yrs old and too young for this place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The only reason this park failed to get a 10 from me is the lack of a pool. The camp sites are level, gravel but a fine mesh gravel and not prone to track ins. Most sites are well shaded and wide. Separation is a nice split rail fencing and also trees. This gives you nice privacy as well as shade and helps should any wind blow. They keep this place clean and neat. After each camper leaves they clean the sites and rack them to make sure no tracks are left in the gravel. That's neat. Throughout the day the grounds are being patrolled and kept in order. Top notch. Yes, I would return. A cozy place that makes you feel secure and welcome. The camp staff were extremely friendly. Good power, water pressure was fine contrary to a previous poster saying otherwise, they had strong wifi at my site although I did not use it as I used my Verizon card. Good service on that too here. (800) 235-0608 We camped here in a Motorhome.

The monthly rate here was $345. This is an extremely clean and friendly park. Most of the campers are older with many repeat visitors, some long term. They put in a dog play area while we were there. The Wi-Fi is flaky depending on where your space is - there is an apparent issue with adjacent Wi-Fi to the park which causes an IP address conflict. There were too many trees for us to use our roof top mounted internet satellite dish. The same issue would exist for many spaces for satellite TV. It is an excellent location for exploring the Verde Valley area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here close to home [5 miles away] to check out our new travel trailer. We had driven past this park may times and it looked good. After one night we can confirm this is a 10 operation. An older group in a quiet park with ample shade. The hot tub was fabulous. If you're looking for peace and quiet with no unruly kids or beer parties you will be happy here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice clean and well maintained adult park. Would have gotten a (10) if they provided fire rings. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restrooms very clean. We had a pullthrough site and it was great. A little highway noise but not really not that bad. Nice dog walks also. Staff always cleaning something and always willing to stop and talk or assist in any way. Provided coffee and donuts one weekend morning which made it easy to meet some other peopl. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very nice, with lots of shade. The spaces are gravel, but very clean, raked neatly, and level. I can only best describe it as a hide-a-way type setting. There is a creek just a short hike behind the park in a grove of Cottonwood trees. It is very, very quiet and peaceful, almost to the point of being too quiet. Other campers seemed almost reclusive, and didn't mingle much. However, the camp hosts were very friendly and interested in our comfort. They advertise WiFi in the park, but I could not find it. I tried to connect from my space but could not; although I did not ask for help either. Water pressure seemed to be very low at times, but everything was always in an excellent state of repair. We brought our ATVs along as there are loads of trails to explore, and we were able to ride right in and out of the park as long as we were street legal and obeyed the park rules. The public restrooms and showers were spotless. There there is a small hot tub available, as well as lots of shaded picnic tables and gas BBQ grills available for your use. But for the low water pressure and hard to find WiFi, I would have rated this park a "9". The climate here tends to be a little warm in the summer, but we will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice little park in the trees. Workampers very helpful. Its a little bit off of I-17, but worth the drive. Verizon worked good here.... Would like to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

More than we ever expected! Grounds are beautiful, and spotless! The landscape is the best we have seen in over a year of traveling through 6 states! We will be here for 2 weeks, and hope to return again sometime next year! Office staff could not be nicer! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have been on the road in my 36 foot fifth-wheel (single F, 41, in a 2001 Alpenlite) since last May. I've had one good experience after another and was amazed to find that the RV community welcomed me with open arms. I wasn't prepared for the experience I had at Zane Gray, and am still, a few days later, trying to process it. I originally reserved a space at a place in Cottonwood, because I wanted to be as close to Sedona as possible, but upon arrival (another first) was really uncomfortable in that park -- lots of clutter and no lights at night, permanent residents knocking on my door, wearing a lot of cologne and marveling at "how much we have in common" (aigh)...I don't feel safe here. So I called Zane Gray and asked the woman about a monthly space. She seemed very nice and said she had two people who were likely leaving this weekend. She didn't know which space I'd be in, and I told her moving mid-month wasn't a problem. She said she'd let the people in the office tomorrow know that this was in the works and that they were going to work to get me in somewhere, hopefully -- likely -- by Monday. I asked if I could stop by that afternoon to look around, that it looked lovely but that I'd just like to get a feel for the layout of the place. She said, "Sure, come on down." When I walked into the office I felt like I was talking to a completely different person. She said that she'd received some calls and that the spaces were now spoken for, I knew three minutes into the conversation, given the way she was responding, that that wasn't the truth, that she didn't want me to stay there, but I couldn't work out why. I was baffled. It occured to me at that moment that I'd never experience anything like this before and I suddenly felt even greater empathy for every person of color who was ever turned away from a job interview. I told her that their place looked even better in person, was just beautiful, and that I was sure there wasn't a "bad" space in the park and would be happy to be squeezed in anywhere. I asked about the space she finally admitted wasn't reserved until May, right on the hwy, and asked if I was able to confirm that reservation in an hour or two if I could have that space and she stuttered and paused and looked really uncomfortable and said "Welllllll, you know, if someone calls between now and then, I'll have to give it to them." I'm a nice person....kind, considerate, quick to put others at ease. I still correspond with the owners of several parks I've visited. I like people, old and young, and they like me. I'm 5'7", 120 lbs, (Picture a zen Sandra Bullock.) One park owner told me that they've never had a resident hook up mid-month and pull forward to allow them to mow the grass under the rig. I was wearing a clean white t-shirt and khaki shorts, and clean white tennis shoes. I remained polite, and positive and said "Ok, absolutely, I understand. Let's give it a go. I'll check with the place I'm at and call you right back, and if it's still available, I'd love to take it." But I knew that when I called, I would be told that the space was suddenly spoken for. As I was leaving she said, "Can I ask you a question? How old are you?" I said, "Sure, I'm 41", and she look surprised. She then asked me if I had a boyfriend. ? It was clear at this point that this was her concern. She was afraid, given my age (41?) and marital status that I'd be somehow disruptive or, ? bring strange men home to stay the night? I dunno. I told her that I'm a mtn. biker and photographer, and aspiring travel writer -- a health nut...don't drink, don't smoke, don't have a boyfriend and (with a grin) am not looking for one. I told her that I work out of my rig, enjoy my own company and am just here to hike, bike and soak up the beautiful landscape. I said "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize -- do you have an age limit here?" She said they didn't, that it was an adult park, it's just that people there really like peace and quiet. I told her I appreciate that as I do as well and seek out those kind of parks myself. She looked a little reassured but I left there feeling like I not only didn't want to stay there anymore, I wanted to leave the area. She yelled after me that I could back up and leave the way I came in. It was my second unpleasant experience in 24 hrs and I had never been regarded by anyone, in my life, as someone who wouldn't make for a good neighbor. On the way home I was nearly in tears. I had to drive directly to Sedona from there just to find a reason to stick it out, to remind myself why I'm here. It was sunset...beautiful. I went back to my scary park in Cottonwood, found my creepy neighbor standing next to my rig, and was so anxious to just get inside that I tripped in the dark on the 1/2 step leading up to my rig, fell flat on my face (with a half twist) and ended my day face-up on a concrete slab, looking up at the stars with a bleeding hand and elbow. I've since re-read the reviews for this park and see that someone else had a similar experience at Zane Gray. I'm sorry to say that even I wonder about the reviewer when it's just one individual reporting that they've had a bad experience, in this case been turned away without explanation, when there are so many other great reviews, but I know now that this person probably experienced what I did, and left feeling just as confused. So, beautiful as it is, I wouldn't recommend this park to others and wouldn't advise anyone to count on these owners to keep their word -- strange things happen at this park when clean-cut, friendly travelers show up in person. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow! Friendly, courteous and very hospitable! Yes the staff as well as the guests! Very clean! We stayed here during the Christmas season and they even had our site decorated for us when we arrived! Great for dogs, nice socialization. I would recommend this to short term as well as long term. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a great place. The staff was very friendly, rest rooms, showers and laundry room were spotless. Very wide and deep pull thrus, every site had a table.No cable, but with the antennae we received at least six channels and they were very clear. Can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this park. We have been here 3 times and all 3 times we were made to feel welcome. Managers are very accommodating and the park is kept very clean. Laundry room was spotless as were the restrooms. Does get a little buggy in evening but those Arizona nights are awesome. Only down side was no cable, tv reception was poor. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved it! This is a beautiful oasis in the Verde valley. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Zane Grey RV Park is one of the nicest, well maintined parks that we have ever stayed in. Gary and Jackie, the owners and hosts, were great and willing to do anything to make our stay a memorable one. We have already made reservations to return for a second weekend. We camped there in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well maintained park with friendly hosts. Only drawback (for us, might not be for others) is that it's located about 8 or 9 miles out in the country and over 20 miles from the best shopping and most services. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pretty park and seemed friendly at first, but was told by owners that I was not welcome because I was not their kind of people. If you have a travel trailer or have ever shopped in Walmart within the past year, don't bother with this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very clean, well-maintained park. The landscaping is beautiful and there are lots of beautiful shade trees. The managers are friendly and helpful. The park is geared to retirees. We enjoyed a pre-Thanksgiving Day potluck there. There is some traffic noise, mostly during the day. The park recently added WiFi that was available at our site. The one amenity that the park should add is Cable TV. The reception from our antenna was not very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very small and very well maintained. The on site managers were very nice and helpful. The restrooms are very clean. There are no amenities and it is not for kids. It is small and quiet. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very Nice. Will go back again. We camped here in a camper.
