I will always be grateful for how wonderful Sheri was for helping me. Thanks for a great experience!

It was not over packed or over crowded it was perfect only a few family we fit in just perfect! You can leave the camp site and walk to the amazing creek where kids are playing splashing all near the camp site it's perfect!! At night we pulled our chairs out in the middle of the open field they have and star gazed all night it felt like you could touch the stars how close you are it was perfect great ending to such a beautiful day at such a beautiful camp site!

Our pull thru site was easy to access. All lots are very level. Sewer line was a bit away, about 20', but they noted it on their website and we were ready. Nice amenities. Small store on premises for necessities. Bath houses and laundry were very clean! The clubhouse was clean and looks recently renovated. There were daily activities and there is a rec room (we didn't use) and mini golf. We enjoyed the free waffle breakfasts and smores. The park is next to the river and made for good walks with our dogs. There is an enclosed dog run, too. But best of all, the outstanding customer service! Wonderful, friendly staff made us feel so welcome! I highly recommend!

We decided to stay at this RV Park because of the decent reviews they receive. The "Resort"…read morereally didn't live up to our expectations. First I want to compliment the office staff. They are personable and very helpful. The park is a little older but the buildings like the office, bathrooms, and laundry room are well maintained and clean. The pool area and Community room look to be newer and also well maintained. There are quite a few full time residents at this "Resort". Some of them have a lot of junk around their spaces. Not something we cared to look at when we're on vacation. When we arrived at our space we noticed about 8 -10 ant mounds. A staff member came right away to take care of the situation. They weren't a problem for us at our site because they had put something down but throughout the "Resort" there were many ant mounds. One spot in particular was near one of the dog runs. You have to be mindful of where you're standing so not to get bitten. I did notice towards the end of our stay the ant mounds were back in our space. In all of our travels in our 5th Wheel, we have yet to see an ant issue like this. Another issue is the stickers throughout the "Resort". We had to be very careful as to where we walked our dogs. I would say that most walks we went on the dogs got a sticker or two in their paws and/or their fur. The space we picked was very long but narrow. For us it was a problem because we couldn't put our chairs out or set up our dog pen up right outside the door like we normally do because there was about 2 ft to do so. It was a bit inconvenient as far as we were concerned. One of the rules at the "Resort" is you are only allowed to stake anything down between the railroad ties that lines the space, because of the fiber optics etc. We noticed while walking around the grounds that there are many spaces just like the space we were in....long and narrow. They are perfect for one or two nights OR, if you're not planning to set anything up. If you don't care you can set up in front or in back of your rig. I highly recommend that if this is your first time making a reservation at this park that you speak with someone to make sure the space you're considering will work for your stay. One other thing. My husband and I went out for a few hours one day without our pups. We made sure that the air conditioning was on because the temperatures had been a bit warm. When we arrived back we noticed the power was off in the 5th Wheel. Which meant the air conditioner was off. They were doing some work right outside of our space. We weren't notified that they would be turning the power off. We love staying in that area because it's central to the places we like to visit. We will not be staying at Verde River RV Resort again.

So while this is an easy hike it can be tricky to find. The roads have been closed for awhile due…read moreto wildfires, it was opened back up at the beginning of November. High clearance vehicle highly recommended - you go 14 miles on a dirt road ( not too bad ) then you make another 6 mile dirt road sketchy for sure ! The last bit of the road you will only be able to go in an off road vehicle. Honestly when you get to the plant there is a dirt road on your right with a closed road gate- this is going to be the easiest route - WARNING - if you want to adventure and find it yourself this is a spoiler alert Walk the road with the gate - stay on the dirt road there is a sign that says hot springs and has an arrow to the left - disregard and keep walking ... pay attention at about a mile for a foot path off to the left there is a rock with a patch of green paint on it ( it isn't super noticeable ) take that path straight toward the river. Once you reach the river you should be able to see a large rock with a big hole in it to your left and if you look carefully to the left you should see a palm tree from the old resort. Cross the river and head downstream for about quarter mile. If you happen to take the dirt road all the way until it dead ends into the river you can still cross here - about thigh deep - the part to crossing here is you have to cross the river twice and go through a grassy watery island then head downstream ... ( you'll see exactly where you should have crossed on your way to the springs. ) haha ... if you decide to take the path near the river - it isn't marked you just have to kinda follow others foot steps - you do have to scale some small rock formations if you find your self stuck in bamboo and find the road to your right you actually where you need to be . I suggest taking a picture of the trail since service is spotty . Definitely a place worth finding - but it is a little tricky - now that we adventures to find it it is easy but finding it the first time not so much - definitely give yourself a day to get there / enjoy and get back - the river was really cold and swift - grab a sturdy stick for balance .. bring water shoes !!! I did it barefoot and it is defining slick ...we got lucky to have only 2 people there when we showed up that left shortly after we got there but I have heard it can be really busy ( and naked )

Clothing is optional, so if you bring children don't expect everyone will cover themselves. 18+ recommended. Hot springs are approx 1 mile upstream from campground. There are 2 different pools , one has a block wall around it. Expect to help clean the pools if there when it's time. I've had great experiences there and very negative experiences there. Honestly though 3 out of 4 times is mainly a bunch of swinging old richards that make it creepy. Respect the nature and pick up your trash either way. It's beautiful there as well.

But honestly, it's worth every step! Just when you think you've reached the falls... you haven't. Keep going! The road in is pure washboard -- about 13 miles of bump city -- so make sure you have a 4-wheel drive and that nothing inside your car is loose. Fossil Creek is absolutely stunning, and bonus -- no permit needed after October 1st. The other thing says this trail is easy. No, it's not to be careful if you're taking somebody elderly over that doesn't have good mobility because there's some rocks you had a climb and what not also make sure you take plenty of water to drink and a little snack everything you pack in your pack. I would also suggest leaving the house by three 330. No later you don't wanna be hiking in the pitch dark.

We had our permit that one of our husbands printed for us but since he was not in vehicle, they would not allow us to enter!! Worse than our problem were 2 women in thier turn around lot at thier gate and those 2 women were still stranded in the heat nearly 6 hours later. We the park rangers failed to relay a hugely important message to those ladies about thier spare tire being In the middle of the road 10 miles back !! Again a huge disappointment for those park employees who witnessed these women being stranded, and we feel with 3 employees and 2 trucks could have easily assisted these women or at the very least let them know where thier spare was located ! We were hugely inconvenienced by driving back several miles to pile into one car as the option they offered us, but these poor ladies we believe were clearly suffering unnecessary while not one of those employees told them where thier spare was located or possibly offered to get it for them .

RESCUED! Late…read moreafternoon on Sunday February 7th, we felt stranded... And then kept driving. I don't know what it is about this area - buuuuut, this lovely camp host was the ~only~ one to answer the phone, after calling nine others in the area, simply because they were on the way. Awash with relief, I thanked her profusely just for picking up the phone. She must have been surprised - I could hear the smile in her voice - she said "I always answer the phone." As it turned out, she was hosting in the RV Park, was ~already~ closed for the evening and had only one spot left, one! Yes, she'd save it for me. "Just call me as soon as you pull in - I'll meet you!" She was incredibly warm and welcoming, not put out at all to have met us after hours. You have no idea how grateful we were... after stewing over calling all the other places. We even had quite the disaster calling another place where we had stayed before... (read on - you can find it.) We were soooooooo tired from driving... The remaining spot was right up front, near the office and the shower, (which couldn't have been more perfect, since we got there in the dark) so we didn't have to hook up water. When we got up the next morning, we discovered it was landscaped and manicured beautifully, enormous spotless showers and paved. There were fabulous trees and picnic tables for all the sites. From reading the park map, I learned they're open year-round. We couldn't have custom ordered a nicer place! To have the host meet us after hours, essentially coming to our rescue, was nothing short of magnanimous. It's truly a thrill to share our adventure with others by posting. It's positively our privilege to have met her! We go through this area maybe once a year, and will certainly make this a regular visit. We can't wait to go back! Her sweet name was Geri!

They have a a dog potty area, tennis/pickle ball court, playground, pool, hot tub, splash pad area (it was not on when we were there) fire pit, an arcade area, shuffle board, pool table, and a reading area.

Arrived at the resort, checked in and given directions to our site. We stayed in a wagon…read more The concept was great but the wagon needs some repairs badly. The bunk beds squeak and the ladder rattles whenever a person is on them. One turnover at night and everyone wakes up to the rattles. The door is cracked and see thru light. Most of the 8 wagons doors are cracked. The people right next door were long term there. I have been to many RV resorts and not one had full time people living there. Met some residents there that have been living there over 2 years. A group of kids (teenager and preteens) arrived in the bathrooms for showers and took 3/4 and the floors were flooded after. Drains working but the kids were wild and noisy while in shower. No reason floors flooded by toilets and sink. I was doing laundry. Dogs taken into laundry room with sign that says no dogs allowed except service dogs. These dogs were not trained service dogs. The day before checkout, The next door neighbors were dropping F bombs every few words and the adults seem to be arguing with 2 young children, 1 an infant, were crying while adults yelling. The pool water was cloudy and the tile on the pool was filthy. The splash pad was so calcified and other minerals that the yellow, red colors were white looking. Looks like maintenance is lacking there a lot. Campers don't follow rules and no one is there to enforce. We left a day early because of the language going on and neighbors. Upon check out reported this to the person at checkout. She stated they have had some issues with the people, yet they are still there. Could be a great place, but needs cleaned up and campers need to be removed if can't follow rules. That comes from management. I would not go back.

The only draw back is the pool is not heated in the winter, bd my campsite section H, the restrooms and showers have been closed due to maintenance, and it's past its finish date still being worked on til date There are other showers in other sections, but it's a ways down the road for a shower & it's cold to be commuting to and from a shower especially with wet hair. The adjacent restrooms is in the H section activity room main lodge which is great. Overall I'll definitely be back and hope the restroom maintenance will be completed by then. And if you have mail delivered to you during your stay there's a $2 charge for every piece of mail you pick up at the main office lobby. Happy camping!
