Cave Springs Campground

I spent two nights at this very green oasis in Sedona. The abundance of shade provided by the pines and the nearby creek was particularly enjoyable. However, I found the $8 showers and the pit toilets to be quite inconvenient. I had no negative experiences with the camp hosts, who promptly checked me in upon my arrival. Lots of families are here, and for the most part, quiet times were adhered to. Also, be aware that there are no grocery stores nor anywhere to dine out nearby. I would probably stay here again but away from the loop near the road as the trees do not do a good job at insulating the vehicle noise.

I really don’t understand how people can leave this campground a 5 star review. It’s awful! The sites are small, unlevel and jammed together. There’s only a narrow single lane road around the loop. They have placed large rocks very close to the road making it exceptionally hard to maneuver a camper of any length. The biggest turn off is the large dumpster trash cans that are all over the road. The entire place reeks of the smell of trash and nasty vault toilets! To add to the misery you are right beside the very busy Hwy 89A going to Sedona so you get to listen to traffic, beating stereos and motorcycles! At least during our stay the campground wasn’t busy. When this place is full I can imagine it would be even more miserable!

Solid campground in Arizona. Like many campgrounds there are some great sites and some very close to each other. But awesome spot north of Sedona and south of Flagstaff. There is easy creek access that is accessible for children. They have showers for $8 for 8 minutes, firewood for $10, and a small store for ice and stuff. I noticed the staff did a great job of cleaning each site and the restrooms were also kept very clean.

Booked through Recreation.gov, site says 30ft trailer ok. Arrived with 30 ft trailer and could barely fit on road and resulted in thousands of $$ worth of damage to our brand new trailer. Incompetent site hosts who gave poor info and got us stuck in extremely narrow roadways and impossible small camp sites. DO NOT TAKE A TRAILER OR RV over 15 or 20 feet in this place very unsafe and horribly inaccurate website description. Camp area is crowded and noisy.

I’ve been going to Cave Spring campground since I was a kid and you’ll never find a more beautiful location. Easy access to secret swimming holes, a difficult but rewarding hike up the mountain from both sides of the campground, friendly and helpful staff, and large campsites. The two reasons is not a 5-star for me anymore (I went just after Labor Day): 1) there is a bit of a skunk problem now and 2) there SO many staff and/or permanent residents that in the middle area you feel like you’re in an RV park and not a campground.
