Highly recommend. Internet was decent. Staff was friendly and helpful. Facilities were very good. No complaints!
I respect the Good Sam rating guide lines. However on our recent trip to Arizona and staying at the Verde River Resort & Cottages I was very disappointed with the overall experience of this campground. Upon checking in the individual I talked to seemed more concerned about telling me what I can not do in the campground rather than the features. I was told to NOT place any mats on the grass, yet arriving at my site there was not very much grass at all to really worry about. The Lack of over all... Read More

Upon checking in the individual I talked to seemed more concerned about telling me what I can not do in the campground rather than the features. I was told to NOT place any mats on the grass, yet arriving at my site there was not very much grass at all to really worry about. The Lack of over all maintained lawns, ie watering, trimming, cutting was not apparent. The roads and sites were not paved or gravel as advertised. More like road base roads and sites. Rail road ties around sites that appeared to be installed in a non professional manner. Trash pick up as advertised did not exist. One location to dispose of trash? Wifi as advertised Not , No escort to site, Table at site. The back in "River site" that I requested and paid extra for was a joke as a dried up stream bed. Why charge extra for something that does not exist.
Some one from Good Sam should really give this place a visit for a review as everything listed on Verde River RV resort's web site is NOT accurate. I have stayed at many other campgrounds with far fewer amenities that I feel should receive a much higher rating than Verde River RV "Resort"
Not sure who may be in charge at this place, but they should get out and walk this campground and open their eyes and realize this place is NOT as advertised!!

We took our 4 grandkids over the weekend here to stay since we have stayed here a couple of times before and enjoyed it so much. I have to say it was the best time we have had since coming here. There was so much for the kids to do from games, making smores , painting , movie night and a wonderful breakfast and a BBQ. Every one was so kind and helpful. A BIG shout out to Jessica and Sharon for all the work they put in to making this a fun weekend. They were always working so hard and making sure... Read More

A BIG shout out to Jessica and Sharon for all the work they put in to making this a fun weekend. They were always working so hard and making sure we had lots to do. My kids loved it so much and cant wait to go back. The cabins are VERY CLEAN and have everything you need. Just bring food and clothes. This will be our get away for years to come I know lots of memories will be made here with our family. The office staff are very nice and helpful. (even Butch the pup that greets you at the door ) I give the park 5 stars on everything . You will not be disappointed . Thank you all for the wonderful weekend there. Until next time. Blessings...

Just a Wow from the staff to the large site to begin with , than you enter facilities that are so clean and beautiful , and than they trow activities at you and events that you can participate in from dinner to snow cones kids even tie dyed t-shirts and had a blast . The holiday weekend calendar I wish we could stay for live band pool party games for kids . Again Its a Wow
The Perfect RV Park! When you check in a staff member takes you to your lot and helps you back in if needed. Level gravel lots with plenty of space between for slides and awnings. We chose Lot 104 which is shaded. Immaculate laundry and private showers throughout the park. Restrooms and showers deserve a 10 star rating. Pool, spa, miniature golf, pickle ball and many activities hosted by the manager and the staff. Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful.
Simply the best RV Resort I've stayed at and will definitely stay here anytime I'm in the area. Nothing negative,all positive. Friendly and Helpful staff. This is a RESORT not an RV park. This is truly a hidden gem you must visit!!!!
This campground will eventually be a very nice campground. The pictures are deceiving however. The space we were in will be great when it is finished. We had plenty of room to play ball with our dog, which is great because when I called for reservations, I was told there was a dog park, which there isn't at this time but they will eventually have one. They are trying to get grass to grow which will be wonderful but right now it's weeds. I think the biggest disappointment was the price that we... Read More

They are trying to get grass to grow which will be wonderful but right now it's weeds. I think the biggest disappointment was the price that we paid. Maybe they should lower the prices until they have the park completed or at least the spaces in great condition. We don't use the amenities very often and love to relax under our awning, Unfortunately, this isn't a relaxing place. HOWEVER, I think it will be as they are working hard to make it a nice campground.

We were excited to stay at this park. Good Sam recommended. From the description, it sounded amazing. Luxurious even. Not so. They advertised cable, wifi, and so many other amenities. Wifi was non-existent. We were told we could get a signal if we went to the clubhouse. What?!? No cable. No cable hookup. So...we didn't have access to our entertainment system for four long days and three nights. We were placed in section A...between two RVs...very tight...didn't know if we could even... Read More

We were placed in section A...between two RVs...very tight...didn't know if we could even put our slides out all the way. So many open spots...we needed 50 amp service for our new trailer...maybe it was the only 50 amp site? Very disappointed. More and better description required for this park.

This was not what I expected from a Good Sam recommended facility. It was not taken care of and the pictures are a fraud. There are no real amenities. I feel that Good Sam should take a look at the horrible conditions. The people that ran the park were really nice. I felt sorry for them having to charge for such an awful park. I wouldn't have stayed there if the park had been honest.
We made or reservations before we read the earlier review but decided to keep our four night stay in place. The park is in the back of an older neighborhood but is very convenient to I-17, Cottonwood, Sedona and other area attractions. First impressions are it's an old KOA (the office roofline gives that away). Many "full-timers" in older but clean rigs spread through the park. All looked clean and I like the idea of folks that are always around to keep an eye on things. The reservation web site... Read More

The reservation web site is crude in that you must pay attention to what you ask for. They have 30&50 amp, with and without sewer. We requested a pull through site with 50 amp and full hookups. When we pulled up to our site it was as reserved. The electrical box was old but operational. Water and sewer connections were fine. Two huge trees on either side of our rig kept the sun off and it was level. Many of the sites were like the one we got with lots of mature trees. Very quiet and relaxing place to stay.
Upgrades to the park by the new owner are going to start soon but they haven't started yet. We didn't go see the pool or other advertised park amenities so I can't comment on those. The river isn't visible from the upper bank, we didn't climb down to get a better look.
Worth the price especially with the Good Sam discount. We will be back to see the progress.

The only amenities at this park are unkempt minature golf, weed infested horseshoe pits and a tennis court. The delapitated cottages were removed. The pool is covered and out of service as is the hot tub. You can't get to the river because the path is steep and over grown. No fishing is possible. The Laundry facilities are old and wook poorly. They don't sell ice either. The club house is torn down to the studs. Sign in front of park list the park will be remodeled by spring, but they haven't started... Read More

The grounds are covered with weeds and goat heads so you can't ride a bike in the park. Don't come if you have children because no fence around pool and they took down the fence between park and irrigation ditch. They don't know when they will start the remodel trouble getting permits. I would recommend waiting until the park is renovated before you visit.

Thought we'd arrived at the movie set of "Deliverance". Right as you enter the park (after you have driven through a trailer trash neighborhood and come in through an open area of dusty gravel) you see obvious long term "guests" in old, trashy rv's. Farther back in the park they do have some newer rv's that are much nicer. This park needs to make sure the long term people in their trashy rv's go to the back of the park and put the nicer rv's up front so it doesn't look so scarey. They advertise:... Read More

They advertise: Water / Sewer/ 50 amp elec/ Wifi / Cable / Pool / Spa / Mini-Golf / Rec Room. What they had: NO Sewer hookup; NO cable; Pool fenced off and covered (it was hot outside); NO spa; Wifi - couldn't get it - I complained and they admitted it's very low; Rec Room NO, but maybe it was under renovation??? - Putt putt golf - yes, but not taken care of. The picture they show on their website must be old because it doesn't look like that at all. NO; "Lawn" - all we saw were clumps of dead grass and weeds. Oh yes, and the Verde - "green" river is a nasty pea soup green and looks like a drainage ditch. This "park" looks like a rundown, trashy, old KOA. They do have a sign as you enter that says, "open during renovation". They should NOT advertise all the amenities until they are actually there. On the "plus" side: it was only $37 a night (and rightly so); they did have 50 amp; and there are lots of sites under the shade of Cottonwood trees. It WAS very quiet and nothing of ours was disturbed but the way it looked I was afraid of leaving anything outside and locked everything up when we went to tour Sedona. We had made reservations by phone and by the time we arrived it was too late for a refund. So now you know. Your choice if you want to stay there.

Thank you so much for your review. We have new management on site now and we are here to make things go smoother and for you to have a nicer stay in the park. We are in renovations and I am working on getting the said amenities taken off the Good Sam page for now, until we do get these things put into the resort. We did notice some older rigs and we are weeding them out. We have put a 10 year restriction on future guest rv's and trailers. We do hope to see you back when we are done with renovations,...
