Campgrounds and RV Parks near Sedona

Although its views are extraordinary, the city itself is imbued with a rich intersection of South-Western and Mexican cultures, from its Spanish architecture and cuisine to its appreciation for fine wines and festivities. As one of the most RV friendly road trip destinations in America, there is a seemingly infinite amount of places to go and things to do in Sedona that everyone can enjoy. Rancho Sedona RV Park Centrally located, Rancho Sedona RV Park is ideal for someone that’s looking to keep to the heart of all the action in Sedona. Sycamore trees throughout the site keep the gravel grounds covered in shade throughout the day and there’s even a picturesque river nearby to make sure things stay cool. The site is pet friendly, with an enclosed dog park for getting out that late night energy, and offers electric 30/20/15 and 50 amp. On-site staff keep the amenities (restrooms, showers, laundry) clean and there’s even an adults-only section of the park for those that would prefer it. Pine Flat Campground On the very outskirts of Sedona, halfway between the city and nearby Flagstaff to the north, Pine Flat Campground is nestled within Coconino National Forest and is a perfect choice for smaller RV rentals and people looking to budget–– nightly rates are as low as $10! The pet friendly campground is meant for those that are seeking an authentic camping experience, which means that it doesn’t offer electric hookups or some of the more luxury amenities like fully equipped restrooms and showers. But what the park lacks in certain luxuries it makes up for in its beautiful, rustic scenery. At Pine Flat Campground, the tranquil grounds and toilets are well maintained by its staff, and unlike Rancho Sedona, there are trails and a river that runs through it for hiking, swimming, and birding. Lo Lo Mai Springs Outdoor Resort Lo Lo Mai Resort is located southwest of Sedona city, and is somewhat of a middle ground between the rustic tree setting of Pine Flat Campground with the modern luxuries of Rancho Sedona. Lo Lo Mai is pet friendly and supports electric 30-15 and 50 amp, and has fully equipped restrooms, showers, and a pool and hot tub. There are picnic tables and fire pits throughout the grounds, as well as a number of streams and a pond. While the RV pads themselves aren’t paved, they are level and well-maintained.

National Parks and State Parks near Sedona

Climb the Soaring Monuments at Red Rock State Park The plains of Sedona are home to a number of famous, breathtaking red rock formations that are nothing short of awe-inspiring. At Red Rock State Park, you can witness the towering summit of Cathedral Rock that stands nearly 5,000 feet high (and hike nearly all of it, if you’re able to), or take in a view of the vast green valley beneath the arch of Devil’s Bridge. At the Eagle’s Nest Trail, there’s a natural water slide and river through the smoothed out caverns that are a popular diving spot for tourists and locals. In Sedona, there are miles of rusty hues dotted with trees in every direction as far as the eye can see, underneath the bluest skies. Chase the sunrise and set to the edge of the horizon with your RV. Take in the History of Montezuma Castle and Wall To the south of Sedona, off of Route 17, lies an incredibly preserved cliffside dwelling of the Sinagua people that dates back to the 12th century. Overlooking the gentle flow of Beaver Creek and burrowed amongst the soaring red rocks around it, Montezuma Castle is a treat for lovers of indigenous American history. Visitors can walk along the ruins of village formations out on the plains and atop the winding mountain face, then rest in the shade of the numerous Mesquite trees and stone walls. Although Sedona is widely known for its incredible vistas, there’s more to do in and around the city than just take in the exemplary views. A hub of activity and South-western culture, there are numerous trails, spas, and even aerial tours of the park to keep everyone busy during your stay. Hike, Swim, Fish, and Drive Through Oak Creek Canyon What makes Oak Creek Canyon unique against the backdrop of other red rock formations in Sedona is its merging of desert mountains with gorgeous forest trails. In particular, the West Fork trail of Oak Creek’s valley brings visitors to a jaw-droppingly beautiful scene; on one side of the creek, a curved, sweeping overhang of polished rock that contrasts against the lush green vegetation across the water like something out of a painting. At Oak Creek Canyon, you can hike, swim, fish, picnic, and drive all the way through its idyllic State Route 98A, a National Scenic Byway. Get a Massage and Facial Treatment At One of Sedona’s Spas There are currently over 10 spas in the Sedona area alone, let alone the outskirts of neighboring towns and cities, each one more blissful than the last. In fact, Sedona is famous for its luxury spas, many of which feature large outdoor areas with tanning chairs, crystalline pools, fire pits, and sometimes even restaurants. If upscale resort amenities is what you’re looking for in a day of pampering, then Amara Resort and Spa or Mii Amo are both fabulous options tucked amidst the mountainous landscape. On the other hand, there are a number of more casual places to relax and enjoy a facial treatment or pedicure, like NAMTI Spa or Blue Sage Day Spa. No matter where you go, all that’s important is that you treat yourself to it! Watch the Sunrise On A Hot Air Balloon Ride To be able to witness the sun rise above the earth and over the mountains from a bird’s eye view is a once in a lifetime experience that Red Rock Balloons provides. The ride itself is approximately an hour and a half long, and the company, which has been in business for over ten years, has a perfect safety record. As anyone that has flown in a hot air balloon before would tell you, there is truly nothing else like it.

Experience Cinco de Mayo in Sedona The arts and crafts village of Tlaquepaque within Sedona is worth a visit on its own for its Spanish, vine-covered architecture and beautiful central square. However, on May 7 of every year, it becomes a must-see destination for its celebration of Cinco de Mayo, the traditional Mexican holiday. During the festivities, visitors can listen to live mariachi music and watch the Folklorico dancers twirl in their brightly colored ruffle skirts. Delicious and authentic Mexican food is served throughout the day, but best of all? Admission is completely free! Celebrate Wolf Week with the Ambassador Pack Since its inception in 2016, Sedona has hosted Wolf Week as a chance for people to learn more about one of North America’s most misunderstood animals. While other types of wildlife are also brought in and discussed as part of the project’s conservation efforts, without a doubt its most thrilling feature is the opportunity to meet a wolf up close and personal. The friendly Ambassador Pack, as it’s known, is handled by the Apex Protection Project, a Los Angeles based non-profit that has been rescuing and working with wild and captive-born wolves and “wolfdogs” since 2015, and to this day has successfully rehomed 250 wolves to its appropriate wildlife sanctuary. The members of the Ambassador Pack that are brought to the meet and greets are incredibly curious and incredibly docile and incredibly not to be missed! All of these incredible sights and so many others are just outside of your door when you rent an RV near Sedona with RVnGO. Where will you go next?
