North Clifton RV Park
Overview
North Clifton RV Park offers a practical and peaceful retreat for travelers exploring the rugged beauty of eastern Arizona. Situated along the scenic banks of the San Francisco River, this park serves as a vital home base for those navigating the winding roads and historic corridors of the region. It provides a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere that prioritizes convenience and accessibility for various rig sizes, making it a reliable choice for a multi-night stay or a quick overnight stop in a unique high-desert setting.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the charming town of Clifton, the park is framed by dramatic canyon walls and the unique industrial character of a historic copper mining district. The environment is a striking blend of rocky desert landscapes and riparian greenery near the river. Staying here allows visitors to experience the dramatic elevation changes of the area, where the low desert begins its transition into the lush forests of the White Mountains, offering a sense of seclusion despite being minutes from essential town services.

The facility focuses on providing the essential comforts required for a stress-free camping experience. The park is designed for functionality and ease of use, featuring the following amenities:
- Full hookups including water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electricity
- Level gravel sites designed for easy back-in access
- On-site laundry facilities for long-term guests
- Clean restroom and shower buildings
The park is also pet-friendly, ensuring that those traveling with four-legged companions have a comfortable and welcoming place to rest after a day of mountain travel.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the park’s proximity to the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway, a stretch of Highway 191 famous for its breathtaking vistas and hundreds of curves. History buffs can walk through historic Chase Creek Street to view preserved architecture from the early 20th-century mining boom. For a modern perspective, the Morenci Mine overlook offers a staggering view of one of North America's largest operations. The river area itself is also excellent for birdwatching and seasonal fishing, providing a quiet escape for nature lovers.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for adventure seekers and road trippers traveling the Highway 191 corridor who need a dependable and quiet place to park. It is well-suited for travelers who prefer a simple, community-oriented environment over the high-traffic noise of a luxury resort. Because of its proximity to major local industries, it is also a top choice for working professionals and extended-stay guests looking for a well-maintained and functional site. If you value local history and a peaceful night's sleep, this park fits your travel style perfectly.

The camp hostess hooked us up with an amazing site. Although there were a lot of campers, she placed us in an area that wasn’t as packed. We loved the site! It was clean, well kept and easy to find trash cans. We’ll definitely come back!!!

Office hours are from 6:30am to 2:30pm which is very odd for an rv park. Not knowing that, I called about 4 pm and an unfriendly woman answered “hello?” Not “Thank you for calling North Clifton RV Park. Can I help you?” I asked to make a reservation and she said “I’m not there. Call back during business hours”. So I called back at 9am the next day and again she rudely said to call back the next day because she wasn’t there. I explained that I needed to make a reservation that day because if there weren’t availability I would have to change appointments for the whole next week. So I asked if there was someone else I could talk to at the park. She said “no, just call back”. Most parks use mobile reservation apps so they can complete reservations in the event they can’t be on site. If you can’t manage to do that, then at least have someone on site to do the job while you’re gone. If you can’t even manage that, then at least apologize for the inconvenience instead of being rude. It’s just not that hard to be nice. I will never give this park my business.

This was a charming little RV Park. The setting along the San Francisco River was nestled between beautiful cliffs. There is a developed path for walking or birding. Big Horn Sheep grazed the cliffs and in the park amongst the RVs. Truly enjoyed our visit.

Our host was very nice and a great help. Good deal for a spot with electric.

Real cute park in a narrow canyon along the San Francisco River in Clifton. The main reason for our trip to Clifton was to see the Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. First afternoon were getting set up and I saw 3 of them on the northeast side of the steep canyon walls... too far away to take a picture with my cheap phone but was quite a sight! We stayed 2 nights and got up ready to leave and drove down the road to a small cafe for breakfast (left my phone in the travel trailer). BIG mistake. As we pulled out headed for the cafe there stood a large ram with 2 females and what looked to be a younger ram. They are awesome but close. Kick myself for not having my phone. Clifton is a cute little town and just down the mountain from one of the largest Cooper mines in the world at Morenci. Need to go see if in the area!

City-owned. Price is very good. Quiet location away from the highway and next to the river. Within walking distance to tourist sites. Good utilities. Fast internet (I was able to stream with it). No cable, but not a problem with the good wifi. Well-maintained by inmates (I like that program). Great value for the price. I recommend it.

Just a really nice RV park in So. Arizona. Passport America rate was fantastic. We stayed a week in our 27’ Class C and would definitely stay here again. The only reason we left was our site had been reserved. Friendly and helpful hosts and neighbors. Clean restrooms with two showers, laundry $2/wash $1/dry. Beautiful scenery all around in this historic town. San Francisco River next to the park, a big playground (with a free RV dump) is next to the park, Circle K within walking distance. Big horn sheep walked thru the park, big roadrunners hang out in the park and four javelinas ran thru the park the last day we were there. WiFi was non-existence at our site but we had a great cell signal for our private secure hotspot. Clean, scenic, warm, affordable with all the amenities RV’ers need.
