It serves as a comfortable and inviting home base for those looking to explore the historic Verde Valley while enjoying the soothing sounds of the water and the local desert wildlife.

The Verde River corridor creates a lush, green oasis that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding high-desert landscape.

Love this park! The location is very convenient and the grounds are pleasant and well kept. If they're full you might end up pretty close to the noisy highway but other than that, excellent! They have among the nicest bathrooms/showers I've seen at a park and the staff was gracious and helpful for me during an unusual situation.

We had to make a last minute change to add a day to our stay due to a mechanical issue with our rig. Mandy not only took care of the cancellation and rebooking of our stay (since we were on the road driving) with grace and kindness, she recommended Josh from RV Tank Specialists! Our stay was great! This RV park is nice and quiet. There were a couple of dogs that barked a bunch but thankfully they left after our first night. Bathroom/showers are always nice and clean. Electric, water, sewer, all worked well! This was our second stay at Rio Verde! We will absolutely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Rio Verde RV park! We were in a river site, and we appreciated being away from the road noise. The bathrooms were sparkling clean and the showers were hot with good pressure. The location is convenient to Sedona, but without the congestion! Also convenient to shopping in Cottonwood. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, and I appreciated their website and recommendations. If we ever return to the Sedona area we will definitely stay here again!!

Loved this RV park. It was the perfect location between Sedona and Cottonwood with access to all the sites in the area. It was clean and had lots of shade. I really appreciated their attention to safety for the dogs. They had a lovely dog park with grass and shade and also Smaller grass areas in the park for dogs to relieve themselves when they were out walking. They even take attention to use safe, pet friendly Weed management. They were always friendly and went so far as to loan me an umbrella. There were excellent restaurants nearby as well as a grocery store and there was even some desert trails to walk. This is the kind of place you want to stay on vacation, I highly recommend!

We’re on a 4 week road trip and this was one of the nicest parks we’ve seen. Mandy does an outstanding job - so friendly and helpful. Her restaurant list was a little extra treat and provided great ideas. Cottonwood has a lot more to offer than most people know, and a quick trip to Jerome makes for a nice day. Mandy’s recommendation for dining there was “spot on”. You can tell the park is well managed. Attention to detail is evident. They picked up my propane bottle, filled it and brought it back. We highly recommend Rio Verde RV Park.
