Great if you RV camp often. 60 days reservation window for reserving Getaway Cabins is illusionary as the cabins often are fully booked 60 days before a particular desired date. read more

Great facility well-maintained super nice people. The new section I'm in M is absolutely fantastic very large spaces good services plenty of room. Absolutely fantastic hiking trails and off the trail hiking in this area. I've been putting in about 4 miles a day and a lot of elevation gains. Very beautiful area if you enjoy hiking and off routing I would recommend the spot. I have been doing off-road four-wheel-drive trails Friday multiple days and there are some amazing spots. As of the third week in January the Jacuzzi is working but the pool is still closed. Two dollar service for receiving packages this is the first site I've come across the charges to handle your package and mail reception. read more

We have been Thousand Trails members for many years. Over the last few years we've avoided stopping at their RV parks because we felt they had let so many of them go down. This park was a pleasant surprise. It was one of the best we had been too in a mighty long time. The only negatives would be all the full-time folks living in the park with their junk all over the place. The first site we pulled into was a pull through and we just kept pulling after we looked at the neighbor. There are some sites farther back and if we ever stop here again, that's where we would go. They also have some great ones with big areas but those are extra. Overall, most of the park was very nice. read more

I was happy to stay here although they closed the pool area way too early to be able to get a soak in before bed in June. The park is very nice and they have a couple fenced in areas for dogs to run around. Hiking trails all around and the river is very close to the sites near the pool. I gave 4/5 because of the early pool closing time but I look forward to going back again soon. I stayed June 2023 with my 21' travel trailer in a pull through spot near the pool. I just bought a membership and plan to visit here yearly in the fall and probably in the spring too. read more

I paid over $1000 for my year access. Have not used it once because it seems like nothing is ever available anywhere. for example, if you try to book Friday-Monday then one of the days will be in red like "Saturday" with Fri and Sun being open. So frustrating. Then the website doesn't even work to book. it'll just say your booking request failed and directs you to a phone number. You'll probably leave a message and wait for a call back. I've never thrown away so much money so quickly before. Please don't do it, save your money read more

Terrible experience here I'm an avid thousand trails member and this location is just terrible. Spoke to Amanda about a package coming in on a Friday and she said the security gate will have my package which had dog medicine in it, so I come to get it and they dont have it. Not only do they not have it but even the security doesn't have keys to the mail room... SECURITY the whole point of security is to have access to limited access areas. So I now have to push my next booking out so I can stay until the following Monday just to get my package they should have left at the gate. Now it's Sunday and they are going to charge me for another night even though I don't even want to stay another night but have to get my package and they are making me move the whole camper to another spot for just one night! What a joke the staff is here and they make you pay just to get your mail. Staff is rude here don't do their jobs and because of their mistakes I had to pay for additional booking, move my next booking and move the camper even though it's just one night. read more

Best deal on the block if you are a full time camping family! The membership will pay for itself in no time. If you are on the fence....GET IT!!! Don't wait because prices are going up and the ROI is going down. read more

My children ask every weekend if we can go back to the cabin. They are city kids and they absolutely loved this place. We have a gas grill, a fire pit and lawn chairs, all of which we used every night. Between the bunk bed and the pull out couch, our family of five fit comfortably. There is a full size fridge and a stove inside as well. The kids loved the pool which was a very short walk away. There was a Walmart only ten minutes away which was convenient, too. My only tip is to bring bug spray and a citronella candle with you because there were lots of mosquitos. read more

RV park that also has tent camping sites. There's a lot of activity going on here, which is bad or good depending on what you are looking for, and what your idea of "camping" is. I never thought I'd own an RV let alone stay in one! I was a die hard tent/car camper, and occasionally did a backpacking trip here and there. One summer night about 10 years ago, it was raining at midnight, and it was 108 degrees in our tent. I packed up, went home, and never looked back! Summers in Arizona are brutal, and I prefer to be inside at night in AC, or in a pool or water of some sort during the day. Ya' got both here! This place is a great if this is your idea of camping. Sites are spacious with lawns, not all dirt or gravel like most places. There's a swimming pool, very large, with a great resort-like pool area and clubhouse. The bathrooms are perfectly clean and functional. Among other ammenities, there's a clubhouse for kareoake, a restaurant, paddle tennis, playground, another clubhouse with wi-fi & cable TV... And more! Staff is very friendly and helpful as well. I paid a year membership for about 300 bucks. The first 30 nights are free, and then after 30, its 3 bucks a night. There seems to be a lot of full-timers here, and you get the feeling they have a sense of entitlement to ammenities and what not... And that kind of bugs me. While being very family friendly, it is mostly old, grumpy, crochety folks that prevent me from giving it 5 stars. There's 50 amp sites for 5 bucks more, 30 amp sites are free (with membership), and I'm not sure how much the tent sites are (with electricity and water). They also have cabin rentals for about 75 dollars a night too. I'll enjoy my one year membership here, and probably won't renew, as I like to try new places and move around a bit. But, overall, it's a very clean, friendly, spacious, and well-run establishment that I think most people would love! read more

We have stayed at dozens of other Thousand Trails with no issues, but were turned away here because our camper van is not RVIA certified. The camp site itself is just a bunch of gravel spots with nothing around. The river is more than a mile away. No privacy, no pets on grass, just an all around bad place. read more

Power on lower half was out 50% of the time, rented a storage space for my RV left a small bbq about a foot tall where my RV was they called me 3 days after I left so I came back and picked it up. they charge me a extra month rent $55 for leaving it. They seem to need the money a lot more then I did. read more

This is a great RV resort. Lots of space and the views are great. Park rangers are very polite and people orientated. Note this is a thousand trails member park. Also note that AT&T cell phone & data really suck. It a hit & miss. Most all the spaces are large pull thrus with grassy areas. We really like everything about this resort EXCEPT AT&T cell phone service. read more

For the prices, this park could be in a lot better shape. Half the camp site where we were were off line. If you have a dog, there are designated areas to walk your dog. They have bags to clean up after your pup but no trash can closeby to dispose of it. You have to walk down to the far end of the park section to dispose of it. Some folks apparently didn't or couldn't walk that far so they just didn't bother to pick up after their dogs. Also if you are not a resident be prepared to be yelled at if they think you are speeding - trust me even if you are going the posted 5 mike an hour speed limit they will think you are speeding. read more

The "residents" rule the roost. Don't do anything you would do in a normal campground because whatever it is, if they don't approve you will be called names, cussed at and threatened. Management will do absolutely nothing because they are afraid of them. There is a psycho that is a resident there. She lives in the absolute farthest space in the park, from the gate. Read the reviews for Verde Valley RV Campground for more detailed reviews. read more

One of the most disappointing RVing experiences of our 30 years of camping. The site was completely unlocked down by obviously power hungry overbearing civilian rent a cop type rangers. Other guests were leaving and groves due to constant written warnings about having to keep distance from other guests And mostly empty trails riddled with warning signs to have to keep distance from other hikers. We tried to contact the manager who never returned our messages and we're told by other residents that he was rarely ever on site and never came to introduce himself or visit. We actually felt like we were in jail as the camp guards constantly drove by all hours of the day and night shining their lights and even looking at us and other guests through binoculars but no apparent reason other than obvious boredom and their need for power. The pool and recreation center was shuttered as was any other amenity because of their obvious paranoia over the the current so-called crisis with the Corona thing. We cannot understand why they had the entire camp locked down considering people were in their own RVs on their own sites and if we did see somebody on the trail there was always room to walk around them and still exchange pleasantries. In our over 30 years of RVing this thousand trails campground was the most disappointing and nerve-racking experience may have ever had to go through we would never recommend thousand trails to anyone for any reason. We actually felt like we were in jail and the only thing we took away from this was an extremely bad taste in our mouths and a desire to leave as quickly as possible and to never return. We continued on to Sedona Arizona but we stayed in a very nice campground and RV resort were retreated with respect and the right to do is we pleased to stay safe as we use common sense as most of the other campers do. Thousand Trails needs to do a complete review of the cottonwood facility as it was not only disappointing but very scary indeed. read more

The park is nestled in the Mountains. Walmart within 10 minutes. Huge community center with cribbage games being played. Internet available in Family Center. Very large park with space between sections, free dry camping near main road for those times when you are out of the system. Road work at entrance off of the highway was deceiving with the entrance being a mile back and not visible. read more

A nice RV park, but truly too expensive for what it is. We were somewhat tricked into coming here, because we were told that you could park RVs on BLM land on this road for free. We kept coming down the road and couldn't find anything until finally coming up to the gates of this park. We had to stay because we couldn't figure out where this magical free land was, and it was something like $45 a night. Just a ridiculous rate. read more

Very quiet, laid back, and nicely hidden at the bottom of the valley. Minutes from Sedona and has a handful of walking trails. I would definitely return. read more

The constantly pounding pipes all night long limited sleep for both nights in the very beautiful cabin. While it seems like a nice camp ground, not sleeping rather ruins your enjoyment of any of the facilities. You might want to view other more conventional and modern lodging alternatives if you would like to enjoy the great outdoors conscious and free of pain. read more

Wish I would have read these reviews before I was there. Not a smiling face or courteous person greeted us. Bad WiFi, low water pressure, no pool because of construction, no laundry. Road work made the trip through a pain. Read another review saying one resident as crazy. We were next to her. Residents make you feel you are trespassing. Never again. read more

We stayed during Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was quite cool. The bathrooms are very clean, showers have nice HOT water. The grounds are clean & very quiet. We are in a small RV not needing sewer so we stayed in the A area on the outside edge, they were very private and large. They also have cute rental cabins, lots of trails. Pool, restaurant club house. Close to Sedona & Jerome. Great place we will be back. read more

Our experience differs somewhat compared to some other reviewers. Our family travels throughout Arizona and California, traveling once a month. This was our fourth time visiting Cottonwood and decided to check out Thousand Trails. During our check-in process, a Ranger approached the vehicle asking for our card. Card? We informed her that reservations were made online. Her response was; "Oh, you are retail people". Retail people? As we searched the park for a space, we found all spaces that included 50 amp service and sewer were extremely close together. I mean really close, with no real estate between you and your neighbor. You can actually hear the TV or voices coming from within your neighbor's RV. Also, use caution while traveling the streets within the park, as they are very narrow. Vehicles or RV's leaving and coming into the park travel this same narrow road. On day two, we approached the Ranger station during "business hours" and paused at the gate, thinking the Ranger on duty would open the gate. But, we were mistaken as the Ranger rudely explained. He stated, "We provided you a gate key code on check-in; we ask that you use it", and walked away. Some of the long term trailers appeared rough, which presented a negative look on the park. Our site included large red ants and multiple ant hills. Our site was not level. Phone reception was very weak and Wi-Fi is only available at the clubhouse. As active hikers, we found the trails to be sub-par. During our last day, we were preparing breakfast and getting ready to sit outside. As we exited our trailer, someone from the park was at our campsite painting our picnic table. Really? This couldn't wait until we left? read more

We had purchased a one year membership from Thousand Trails a year ago. When it was time to renew, they sent me a form to sign to continue my membership for (march) 2016,reading over the renewal form they upped the price by $200.00 a year. I called thousand trails to see if we could have it lowered, they said no, so we told them we would not be renewing. They continued to charged my credit card anyway (I was unaware of this because I don't pay the bills), and they are now sending us bills to be paid. (currently they took $327.97) I called them and they said they would not refund my money and they had every right to charge my credit card because they had the number and permission to use it (from a year ago) This, to me, is robbery. Just because you give them permission once to use the card, does not give them permission to use it at any other time without permission. WE CANCELLED!!!! What is so hard about that? I am a business owner. If a customer pays via credit card, we do not keep their credit information or would never charge them without permission.so I also called my credit card company to try to get refunded. We are still waiting for the results of that, but again, what is the issue? WE CANCELLED!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY WHEN YOU CANCEL!!! read more
