A little disappointed that they raised the prices but still had a great time. It's a beautiful park with plenty to offer. Views of the desert and red rocks of Sedona in the distance. Plus plenty of shade and trails right to the Verde River. There's an abundance of wildlife.

First time camping at Dead horse ranch campground. The bathrooms are some of the nicest campground bathrooms I’ve experienced. Very clean and well maintained. We camped in spot 117 which wasn’t bad, but the light from the bathroom was very bright and impacted our star gazing and sleeping. If you are going during the summer months, the campsites have very little shade so it can be very warm until the sun goes down. There’s also a lot of car traffic around the campsites. On the positive side, We enjoyed using the dish washing sink and the hiking trails all around the campground and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back!

Loved our stay here! Honestly so cute and worth it especially if your use to the tucson heat. It was like 100+ at home and when we were here it was 70-80s during the day!

We stayed in our camper at quail loop #23 for a week. Everything was nice. The trails were close for walking and MTB. Most of the lots were nicely sized. There were 3 camp hosts in our loop. Shower house was clean. I even did a trail ride from horse adventures. We would walk the river trail to the lagoons. Town is also close.

Nice park, but the "accessible features" it brags about are a joke! Yes there are ramps, but using them in a wheelchair leaves A LOT to be desired. The biggest joke was the ADA campsites. Elevated platforms made of composite slats... no way to stake down the tent? And the ramp to the tent is blocked off? You have to get past the showers to use the toilet? One campground host was drunk and another couldn't keep a dog on a leash. The gate attendant was constantly outside the office smoking. Made the best of it, but definitely will not be back or recommend to anyone who rolls... shame!!
