The more recent elevated locations are the ones to opt for. They're roomy, equipped with 50 amp power supply, and have mobile connectivity. The lower spots are set up in a peculiar fishbone layout, and you might find your neighbor's vehicle obstructing part of your space. All lower spots are closely packed. The park is situated a mile away from the main thoroughfare, ensuring a noise-free environment. It's incredibly peaceful. They've transformed a motorhome storage area into the largest enclosed motorhome dog park you've ever come across. It's quite impressive. Enthusiasts of radio-controlled airplanes and cars will be thrilled by the land RC car track and the RC airfield within the campground premises. The park boasts several appealing trails, and you can explore the Verde river floodplain when it's not wet. The drive to Sedona is manageable for a day trip.

Well-maintained, pleasant locations, amiable, with no issues.

Our return visit to this park was a significant improvement from our initial "so-so" experience, thanks to a straightforward upgrade of our site. As part of our TT membership, we get a standard 30AMP site for free, but we discovered last year that the newer, more appealing 50AMP sites must be reserved directly through the park. We did that this time around, and it was a game-changer. There's a small upgrade cost ranging from $3-$10 per night, depending on your assigned section, but it's well worth it. The upgraded sites are larger, offer stunning views, and provide a serene atmosphere. The basic sites, on the other hand, lack these features and some aren't suitable for larger vehicles. The newer area also has a bit of cell coverage, which is lacking in the older 30AMP sites. The park offers a variety of activities for all, well-maintained facilities, and impressive walking trails. However, the lack of a laundry room prevented me from giving it a full five-star rating. The park's location is tranquil, situated a mile from the highway with zero road noise. It's about 30 minutes to Sedona, slightly less to Prescott, with plenty of attractions in the surrounding area. I would definitely revisit this park.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We booked M and opted for the 50 amp extra charge, which provided us with a spacious site, mobile network connectivity, and stunning views. The sites on the lower levels are smaller and more compact. Advantages include: a charming team, especially the welcoming gatekeepers; the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings; accessible trails, including a river; two activity centers; mini golf; a seasonal pool and hot tub; proximity to various attractions, including Sedona; two dog parks, one of which is the largest I've seen in a campsite; tranquility; RC car and plane tracks/runway; pool and ping pong facilities; cleanliness and good maintenance; and onsite propane refill. Disadvantages include: a lackluster playground and the lower levels being more cramped with limited mobile network coverage.

Very nice park, especially for a Thousand Trails. I was just passing through for the night so maybe I didn't get the full experience but I was impressed with what I saw during that brief stay. I read a lot of complaints about internet (or lack thereof) but up in H section I was able to get 2-3 bars of usable internet (Verizon). Yes the sites are pretty close together but my rig isn't that big anyway so it doesn't bother me.

I had a great time here. The pool is great and there are some nice short hiking trails on the site. The bathrooms and pool are really clean. Nearby town Cottonwood (10 minute drive) has a good grocery store "Frys" with great produce and prices. We were 25 minutes from Sedona and 2 hours 30 minutes from the Grand Canyon. My family had a great time. The only negative would be the internet is not good. The campground internet is almost unusable. I also use a Verizon data plan and had to work from the Cottonwood, Az(~5-8mbps) or next to the ranger station(~2-3mbps). There is a starbucks in Cottonwood that opens at 5am. I will stay here again.

This was our first "RV Resort" and Thousand Trails experience and I have to say, I was disappointed. It's basically a huge RV park with a gate. The roads were narrow, the spots were tight, and the full timers there were very particular about their "yards." I was told by one to keep my dogs off their lawn. Picture Clint Eastwood snarling "GET OFF MY LAWN," but replace him with a 76-year old snow bird. The wifi was terribly slow and the Verizon connection was some of the slowest we've seen. The reception was great, but the speeds were ssssllooooowwwww. 0.52mbps down and 0.14mbps up. We were there for about 12 hours and had to move sites to use the fresh water hookup. We were woken up at 7:30 AM by a bulldozer next door digging up a water line. Maybe the retired folk were up, but I certainly was not. That work shut down the water lines for the entire section (probably 120 sites), which the management neglected to mention when we checked in the night before. We moved down the road to section A to finish our dishes and take a shower. We couldn't get out of there soon enough. We paid $24 with Passport America, and even at that rate, I don't think I'll stay here again.

Our first stop at a Thousand Trials park and it was a bit of a surprise. We were told to go find a spot which was tough since many were closed for maintenance and when we did find one, we found out the majority were only 30amp power. There were some 50amp power but you have to reserve ahead of time or something. We were there during a lot of heat, so this was a bit unfortunate. There were a lot of amenities (pool, multiple playgrounds, mini golf, off leash dog area, a few lodges) and they were dated but "okay" The pool was the best and kids liked ping pong and other stuff, but the playgrounds were tiny and not so useful. Wifi was sketchy. I was able to get on 75% of the time at the pool lodge and about 10% at the main lodge. Once connected it was okay. ATT worked okay from the park, but not great. My wife was never able to connect to the wifi. We would stay again (because it is part of the Thousand Trails club) but would not go when it is 110 degrees outside and would just be ready for some of the extra steps. Fairly close to Cottonwood which had a nice rec center and adequate shopping.

This was a nice park and well taken care of but it took us about 10 minutes each way to get in and out. It's really off the beaten path and a lot of the sites are really far back. All the speed limit signs conflict with each other between 5 and 10 mph. And in my opinion 5mph on the main road is just so slow, I understand there are kids but that should be applicable in the rv spots. The wifi in the common areas didn't work and cell service was poor. Otherwise the staff were friendly.

We enjoyed this campground and we would stay here again. What we would love to see improved: The cell service was average and hopefully there will be more towers added in the future. We also wished we could have a nice strong wifi connection in the other club houses as well as the RVR office. What we loved: friendly and helpful staff, the clean bathrooms, the quick wifi at the RVR office, the hiking trails, the proximity to Sedona, the proximity to a Walmart Supercenter, the big club houses, pools, barbecue grills, and mini-putt. Overall we had a nice stay!

Great proximity to downtown Cottonwood(THAT brewery and Pillsbury Wine Company recommended). Literally right next door to park entrance there is a road that will take you to Alcantara Vineyard. A must see in my opinion! The property is beautiful. You feel like you are in Napa. We had no idea the property was down there until we stumbled across the sign. Thunderbird is close to restaurants/shopping, however far enough down in Valley to enjoy nature with many trails and the river. Perfect launching point for day trips to Prescott and Sedona specifically, however we went to Payson and Flagstaff on 2 different day trips as well. If you are wanting to be around other “campers,” I suggest section A-C, versus section H which tends to be where those that “live there” stay. The ONLY negative for us would be the internet connection. There are 3 clubhouses, which 2 of them have weak WiFi signals. The campground is down in a Valley, so understandable, just a heads up. If you need the Internet, there is solid WiFi up at the clubhouse that has the office/store. I would walk the trail(or you can drive) up to that clubhouse and sit outside overlooking the valley. It was a beautiful office!! We will definitely stay again the next time we are in the area!!

Update 2/26/2020: I booked 8 days and upon arrival was told I didn't have a spot, luckily they had space. Snafu on the Thousand Trails software, didn't lose my reservation and now I had 2, but it unnerved me. After being away for a year I can see that most of the new site construction has been completed. Lots of little areas on the windy road from the gate to the original A-C areas of the park. In addition, the C area has new water pipes and electric boxes but it took me 4 tries to get my surge protector to like the 30 amp site I'm in now (C17). The new sites are are parallel to each other, like they should be, nothing between the sites, new gravel, very flat and black-topped roads; brand spanking new. I wish I could have gotten one of those sites (areas I & K that I could see.) I got stuck in area C where the spots are wonky and close (see pic of 2 other RVs out my window). The pool is still outstanding, heated but not too hot; hot tub is working. Laundry is still out (over 2 years I've heard). Cell service is still 1 bar, 2 if you have a booster. No fire rings, mostly new picnic tables, trash dumpsters in good locations.The thing I really love about this park is that there are no street lamps to keep you up, it's so dark here that you can stargaze on clear nights. Not much else has changed since my review below. ------------------- This resort has potential but it's in heavy construction building new spots (February 2019) and what looks like additional repair work. The road inside the park is narrow and looks to be getting a wider path with the construction. The park is well off the highway and in almost a total cell dead zone; there is wifi inside the common room in the lodge at least in the B-C area but doesn't go outside the building beyond about 20 yards. If you want streaming or decent internet you'll need a very good cell booster. Laundry services are in one building and I was informed that it hasn't been running in almost a year because of piping/water issues. Hopefully it'll be fixed when all the construction is done but because the sections are so large they really need more than 1 location. The office has been moved to a location closer to the main entrance and because of that the store offers little besides ice cream bars, frozen dinners and basic supplies. Cottonwood town is about 20 minutes away and does have a Safeway, gas, propane, Home Depot and most other items you'd need. There are shower/toilet facilities close but are dated and could use upgrading. Staff are helpful and nice, propane is available M-F for 1/2 hour but can also be found in town. Packages are accepted at the front desk at a price of $2 per package. The landscape is all rocks and the only walking trails are through the hills or down to the river. There is a very small, unfenced dog area but everyone just walks dogs around the campsites. Sunrise and sets are outstanding here and if you drive along the road out of the park you can get outstanding photos of the mountainous area. The sites are very tight, the gravel pull-through is narrow so you'll be very close to your neighbor that you're sharing the power post with; my neighbor's slide is about 3' from mine. I haven't seen any fire pits at all in the park outside of ones owned by campers. Each site has a picnic table and very little grounds before the next site. This location is probably best suited for summer visits as it is about 3,500' in elevation and cold in the winter months. Maybe by summer 2019 the construction will be completed and the campground will have more to offer. It is close to Jerome and Sedona, nice places to visit.

One of the nicer TT parks so far. You do have to pay for 50amp electrical here so be prepared. Also have to pay to receive any packages. Quiet park. Can be tough to level as the area is hilly. Lots of new sites coming in but they are also additional cost. They should have so good views into Sedona though. I had some good cell service with external mounted antennas on the roof. Without antennas and you'll be lucky to get 2g service (ie unusable for anything) on all 3 major providers. Speed would def slow down at night. The rest rooms were clean and a little dated. Was there in late Spring and could see this would be a really buggy area as when the warmer days came the bugs came out in force. Cooler days eliminated them. Very nice pool. I didn't make it to the river but it looked nice. There are also a number of hiking trails on site. They will remind you often the speed limit is 5 mph. Even though the park was near capacity it didn't feel like it. It is a fairly large CG.

I'm giving this 3 stars because the park itself was okay, we just didn't like it. The sites are down, down, down in the valley so you have no view; the sites are close together and packed in. Site itself was pull-through and level so no complaints there. The bathrooms were clean and the community room was nice, but laundry room was in-op while we were there. This is NOT an ideal park if you work remotely - there is NO cell coverage but I was able to get just barely enough juice from the wifi using an extender, or good wifi if I sat in the community room. Boring location in the middle of nowhere. We left earlier than planned because working was such a challenge and we were really bored.

The Thousand Trails Verde Valley RV Resort is a lovely Thousand Trails RV park located in Cottonwood, Arizona in the Verde Valley. The park is very well-kept and maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The premium sites are unbelievably huge in size and have upgraded FHU. The views from them are worth the extra $5-7.50 per night alone! They are level and gravel which makes parking a dream! The amenities here include pool, sauna, community room, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, tennis, mini golf, hiking trails, game room, pool tables, horseshoes, ping pong, dog runs, etc. The park is located just down the road from Cottonwood and the historic downtown district. There is a lot of things to do nearby including hiking trails, wineries and vineyards, shopping, historical sites, state parks and more! The only downside we have found to this park is the Wifi. Our signals have been pretty spotty here. This is definitely one of the nicer Thousand Trails parks we’ve been to and we will certainly be back. 👍🏻 For campground videos and more, check out our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

We stayed here a couple times, the most recent being in 2021. The site we chose backs up to the Verde River, and was next to a cottage (that was empty) and another RV site on the other side. Being close to the river is wonderful. You can hear it from your campsite. We didn't use any of their amenities as we are self-contained. - Water/electric/sewer hookups. We no issues with any of these. - Easy check-in/out - River is close by. - Convenient location to Jerome, Cottonwood, Sedona, and all the historic sites in this area. - Level sites We really had no complaints. It was a pleasant stay.

Above Average TT... for us. The upper new section looked really nice and would be worth the upcharge for the views alone. Our site was acceptable. Great base location for Montezumas Castle and Sedona day trips. Good location for stop between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Best self service RV wash we have encountered close by on 260.

Initially we started out in the lower section, C1. It was OK but there’s no cell reception, paid wifi is spotty, and sites are pretty close together. C1 was on the end and close to the river, so that was a plus. After two nights we were able to upgrade and move up to the top section in M23. These are new sites with 50 amp, beautiful views, and good cell coverage. The cost upgrade is 750 a night. If we would’ve known we would’ve called ahead to reserve, do yourself a favor and make sure to do that. Entire park is very quiet and dark skies ordinance makes for some pretty nights.

We are thousand trails members, so stayed here “free” with our membership. You do not get to pick your site ahead of time, so when we got to the park, we were handed a map with some circled sites that the guy said were open. Upon driving through the park, there were a lot more open than what was circled. Come to find out, he’d circled only open 30A sites, as the 50A sites were all an extra fee depending on the location. We have solar and a battery bank, so 30A was whatever. The sites are all extremely close together, and there were quite a few permanent residents. Those sites appeared to be unkempt and “junky”, but also the largest/premium sites to be found. After driving through the entire park, we finally settled on one that was close to the river access. The picnic table and grill designated to our site were right next to the pedestal and sewer. Also, the cell service for both Verizon and T-Mobile were essentially useless. If you need to work remotely, pay the extra money to be at the top of the hill in the 50A areas, or go somewhere else.

This TT park could be nice but due to our location in the park and lack of 50 amp and cell service we give it 3 stars. Sites are un-level in the older sections and tight for big rigs. If we could have gotten in the newer 50 amp sites it would have been 4 stars. Internet is poor in this area but the newer sites were better. The 5 mph speed limit and speed police are a bit much. We got flagged down and yelled at while looking for a site. If you want 50 amp book it out 60 days in advance.

We got a free Thousand Trails membership with the purchase of our camper and decided to give it a try. The only thing going for this place is that it’s cheap for full hookups. We only needed 30 amp but they only had a 50 amp site available (supposedly), which was a tight site next to all permanent residents. Driving through the campground, it seems to be mostly permanent residents. There are few sites with views and those look to be held for the larger rigs. Again, some looked permanent. We only stayed as long as we did to spend some time planning our next stops and because we knew we’d be out hiking all day and not staying around the campsite. The cell service is bad/nonexistent. Some of the neighbors are loud. And the policing that occurs is borderline absurd. We had added a couple nights and had asked if we needed new paperwork to put on our car. They were nonchalant about it. One of the staff banged on our door and asked when we were due to checkout because the paperwork said today. I said we extended the nights and he said are you sure because the office doesn’t have that on record (I don’t think he had even checked with the office). I showed him the confirmation email and he still said, “and it’s for this site?” He had just looked at the confirmation! Mind you, our name and site number are on the paperwork so he could have called the office to confirm. He was incredibly rude and questioned us even after proving we had the site. He barely apologized and we said we’d go get the new paperwork with the updated dates. Also mind you, we’ve seen multiple people driving around with weeks old dates. We will not be return visitors and would not recommend membership based on this experience.

Long term residents are not friendly. Resort is full of “Don’t let your dogs pee on my grass”. Per the office, it’s not there grass!!! It’s 2 miles from gate to our spot and you have to drive 10 mph. On resident almost came out of her car when we went 12 mph. Cellphone service is almost non-existent down in the canyon and paid WiFi is slow and inconsistent. Best part is being close to Sedona without being there.

Gorgeous view from new 50 amp section. Level wide gravel space. No WiFi up top. In lower spaces Jabba available. 2 bars each AT&T and Verizon. All else good!!

What a wonderful Thousand Trails campground! We didn’t want to leave- our site was #118, what view! The campground is clean and well maintained, they even have great signage which is rare. It’s a good campground for walking/hiking as well. We agreed we could happily spend an entire season there and there are some really nice permanent resident sites. Verizon connection was pretty spotty in the site but who cares?

We stayed here in April of 2021. Our stay was at no cost to us through our Thousand Trails membership.

You have to call to reserve the 50 amp spots and section M is right near the entrance up top. I have a feeling my review would be very different if we had not been in that section. This was one of the largest, nicest, quietest RV park sites we have had. Our spot was huge, we had amazing views and cell service on ATT and TMobile was okay. We had some other full time families around us and some more long-term sites, typical of a Thousand Trails, but it was all maintained very well. The staff were lovely and propane fill was reasonable and easy. I found the lack of laundry weird and a little annoying. My main complaint. If you use park bathroom facilities, being in the new sections would be quite annoying as there aren’t any facilities up there and it’s a long ways to the bottom. We did not use the pool but did really enjoy the hiking trails through the park. Watch out for javelinas!
