The park is extremely clean and very well maintained. Roadways in the park are a bit narrow but do-able as were the sites which are all concrete pads but we found where the coach went was a bit narrow for a back in site. Pool area looked great, unfortunately didn't have time to try it! Its an easy access to the interstate 40. Seemed to have a large number of long term campers, very friendly people. Garbage pickup at the sites in the morning. Nice trail area off to the west of the campgrounds for dog walking. We would definitely return here when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, clean, even a good work out room with weights. BUT - the wide sites are laid out in such a strange manner. The rig in the row behind actually winds up being about 5' from the side of your rig. Wide to park your towed vehicle on one side but REAL close on the other side. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of those parks you come across just once in awhile. The park is very clean, neat and well maintained. The staff is well informed about the park and the surrounding area. We started to stay for three days and ended up staying for a week. We were charged the weekly rate (last night free) so we were very pleased. We would recommend this Park to anyone looking for a Park that is one or two steps above most highly rated Parks. Within 30-45 minutes of major attractions and sight-seeing. Casino just five minutes away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice. Has all the amenities and is well cared for and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Being that this park is one of our favorites, we decided to spend Thanksgiving there. It is still very clean & the staff very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to see the level of cleanliness is still excellent. Usually as a park matures, the upkeep tends to deteriorate. Not so at this park. Had no problem parking our fifth wheel. We got a nice wide open space further down towards the casino. Aside from a boisterous person in a small fifth wheel across from us, it was quiet most of the time. I'm not sure if he was a park employee or what? Overall our stay was very nice & the grandkids had a blast hiking the trail across the street from the park's entrance. We'll definitely keep coming back to this beautiful RV park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fine overnight. Great casino in site. Nice staff, good dog play area. We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for a full week and felt as if we had discovered a great "secret" campground. The location was perfect for visiting Sedona, Cottonwood and Jerome. Cliff Castle Casino is just across highway. The facilities were spotless and modern. The sites were well landscaped and offered concrete parking pads as well as excellent privacy. This campground has been added to our "favorites"! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park. Three types of sites. Pull thrus, Pull ins, and back ins. All sites are paved. Pull thrus are long but narrow. Back ins are a good choice if you are disconnecting. On the south end are a few pull ins for motorhomes which over look the valley. WiFi worked well at my site (close to office). Would definitely return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Real nice place.......sites paved and landscaped, although they could be a bit larger. Staff very helpful. Only caveat: Exercise room is NOT air conditioned. Fan and open window is your "AC." Heat from laundry room next door aggravates the problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Immaculate facilities. Very competent and attentive staff. One of the best parks that we have visited. Very convenient location. Will stay here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean park. Nice staff. Centrally located and easy on and off. It would be nice if they had tables on the patios. Limited pull-throughs, but all sites are paved and somewhat level. We would stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an immaculate park with terrific mountain and Verde Valley views with easy I-17 access. Staff was very accommodating and they take great care in keeping up the park. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is that I found the sites may be just a tiny bit hard to get in to. Otherwise...absolutely no complaints. We had an end pull-through so no maneuvering problems, but I can see if someone has a middle of the row site, and a large rig, it may take a few shots at getting situated. There are only 10 pull throughs in the entire park so if this is vital to you, I would recommend reserving as far in advance as possible or calling before heading out. Pool is a nice size and was super clean as was the spa. We were the only ones in it on both days. It is very close to Cliff Castle casino, (just on the other side of 17) and there are many other fast food and retail establishments just one exit south on 17 (about 3 miles). An easy drive to Cottonwood, National Monument sites and, of course, Sedona!. The back-in spaces on the perimeter of the park (the most southern and western spaces) will give the best views. They do ask that you walk your pets outside the perimeter of the park, but most folks, at night especially, used the grassy areas within the park and were very good at picking up after their pets. Trash is collected at your site daily. Cable and Wifi is free, but wifi signal at our site was fair at best. There are also phone hookups. There is also a PC in the office/country store. Would certainly stay again while traveling through the Verde Valley. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We cannot say enough about this park. The sites were level and paved. Everything about the park was immaculate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out was a breeze as was filling up with LP. This was not a planned stop on our trip, but it will be from now on. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park. Perfect location as a base camp for Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome. Whatever you want to go and do it is all within a 30 minute drive or less. Easy access from 1-17. Large paved sites, super nice staff. Pool and jacuzzi were really nice. With temps in the lower 100's, the pool water is very comfortable. If you stay here, be sure to go to Blazin'M Ranch for the cowboy dinner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This has to be one of the cleanest parks I've seen. It is conveniently located between Sedona & Cottonwood making it very easy to go out to dine or just shop. The amenities are plentiful & well maintained. The showers are spotless as are the laundry room & exercise room. The pool is large & clean along with a nice size jacuzzi. The managers & staff are very friendly & well informed. It is a kid & pet friendly park. The concrete spaces are set far apart with very well maintained landscaping. All spaces are full hook-up, which includes free wifi & free local phone hook up. Propane is available near the office building. This place is a treat to stay at. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very convenient access off I-17 across interstate from Cliff Castle Casino. Paved interior road & sites. Well setup park. Staff very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed one week . Nice layout with great view . Management allowed a dog run on a site with two large dogs . The dogs barked on at all hours of the night and day. The rule, "Indoor pets accompanied on a leash when outside", was not followed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here a month in site #110, a back in site. Was able to get our 35 ft trailer and HDT in this site. Is a airport across the interstate, had little airplanes flying in and out most mornings. The interstate noise wasn't a problem, but could be for those closer to it. Interior roads are asphalt and sites are concrete. Lots of sites are unlevel side to side, and others front to rear. Pull thrus are very tight. Could be 1 foot from your neighbor's slide out. Site #80, I'd say is the best easy in easy out pull thru. Does have cable TV, free Wi-Fi, "free" on site phone line, staff is very friendly and helpful, very clean campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park and right near the highway so easy to get to Sedona and Jerome and all the other interesting sights. The sites were a good size and there was a area in the back of the park where you could walk your pet. The park was very clean and the garbage was picked up each morning from in front of your RV. The people in the office were very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice, clean park, good location, long paved spaces with a patio, very clean restrooms and laundry and free WIFI that works!! They had garbage pick up every morning at your site. They have a new casino across the highway with shuttle service. Would definitely stay again. Convenient to get to Sedona, Montezuma Castle, etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here two nights to visit nearby Sedona. I chose this place based on ratings here, and we were not disappointed! This place was immaculate, clean and it really showed that the management cares for the place. The showers/bathrooms are cleaned after every use. The kitchen and clubhouse is very nice and the staff there were friendly. They also have a laundromat and a workout room, as well as a pool and a jacuzzi. The only nitpick would be the odd placement of some utilities in the lot we were in, but fortunately we were able to use the lot next to us. Otherwise the power/water lines would need to be quite long. A minor issue that was by far better than staying in some of the nearby RV parks we had looked at after finding the state park we wanted to stay at was booked. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Distant Drums is an easy access, easy check in, easy park and setup campground. The staff is great and most of the sites have a great view. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and met some wonderful folks. We will absolutely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WOW... cleanest resort I've seen. If you use their shower/toilet rooms you log in, get a key & once you're done they clean the unit. All services are included & work well including cable & site WiFi. Staff is VERY helpful & friendly. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Maybe the cleanest park we have ever stayed in. Sites were concrete and perfect. Would go back anytime. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Don't try the pull-throughs. You can't pull in with your toad attached. The roads are too narrow and the pad is only 10 feet wide. I was on pad 73 and there is a 6 inch drop off the right of the pad which could be an axle buster. Fortunately a fellow camper helped me onto the pad. The back-ins are actually easier to get into. You pay extra for the pull-through and end up with side by side hookups. My neighbor was very close to my hookup side. I stayed here last year in a back-in. It is a clean 'RV Park'. Probably the best in the area. No wi-fi - at least I could not find it. I will stay here again while in the area but I will ask for a back-in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was a delight to visit. It is clean and well managed. The hosts were quite friendly. The spaces are level and paved! Also paved is a space next to the motor home where you can park your tow vehicle. The park is close to a casino which had an outdoor concert the night we stayed. We could hear the music clearly from our campsite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best parks we have ever stayed in. Everything is top notch, including the courteous, friendly staff. The community center is spotless throughoutand includes a complete exercise room. Since this is a fairly new park, the shade trees have not fully developed, but the other landscaping is beautiful. Because of the dryness in this area, it is obvious why there are no fire rings and no fires allowed. Although Rt. 17 is nearby, the traffic noise is minimal. We will recommend this park to whoever we meet and will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were very happy with our stay here. The pool is clean, and the kids enjoyed it. The showers were spotless. One signs out a key from the desk for a "shower room." It has a lavatory and a shower. There is plenty of room, and it is a nice change from usual CG showers. Our site was level. The park was clean and appealing. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visted April 06, very pleased with C/G. This is one of the nicest C/G in the area of Sedona. Would visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very Clean park, however still no picnic tables for fire rings. Some of us would like to sit out at night and talk with friends over a fire and enjoy popping corn or just watching the fire. Having a table to eat at would be nice also. We all don't go there just to gamble. Very expensive place to park your unit and listen to the traffic on I-17. I think this is the last time we will use this park. It is good for overnight stays, just not for weekend get aways. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a very nice park. Very clean with paved pull through sites. Very nicely landscaped. Very friendly staff and always ready to help. Laundry room kept very clean with new washer & dryers. Weight room, equipment in perfect condition. Garbage picked up at you site. They have Wifi but only inside their building. We were very impressed with the park. Can not wait to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Free wifi, nice full private bathrooms, helpful friendly staff, free coffee, new park just over 2 years old, right off freeway, good size site, satellite friendly, ATV trail next to park for dog walking. Whiff of sewer smell on occasion but not enough to detract from a 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

No picnic tables available and some of the spots are hard to get into with a rig 30' or bigger. I-17 close to park so a bit loud at night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good new park, with concrete pads. I stayed 2 days. Instant [free] on site phone - but was only live on my neighbors pad. Mine was dead. Lots of staff but not well trained. They had lots of problems with the "computer" when I tried to register for the second day. A local RV dealer had rented all the pull-thrus for a "show" the weekend I was there - so I had to use a back-in - which was OK. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful park, magnificent views. New so everything is pristine. Lots of amenities. No wi-fi or plans for it. Very easy access to 1-17. Easy drive to Sedona and other small towns nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As someone who is RV'ing 345 days a year, this is one of the very best parks we've been in. The showers were very private and clean, the only drawback is that the showers are only open when the store/office is open. Same thing with the pool/spa. Sites are all concrete and level. This is what all campgrounds should acheive to be like. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was one of the highlites of a very long trip. I don't understand why Trailer Life only gave it a 5 for visual appeal, as the view is great. We used it as our base to visit Sedona and Montezuma's Castle. I don't know what else someone could ask for in a campground. They have everything and it's all nice. The casino/restaurant's are a short drive across the highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice new park. Friendly staff. Very clean. Close to I-17 but no real freeway noise. Casino shuttle will come pick you up. Worth the stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice new park just opened in Oct 2003. All sites are paved,large & nicely landscaped. Very friendly staff. The showers are cleaned after each use. Garbage is picked up at each site. This park is just off I-17 about 20 miles south of Sedona. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here while applying for a job in camp verde. The owners are very nice Christian people who bend over backwards to help you. We stayed in the downhill part of the park which made for a hard uphill walk for someone with my disabilities, but heck, i needed to cowboy up and walk more. The restrooms and showers were very clean, the Wi-Fi only worked for me while i was in the car in front of the office. I would recommend this place to anyone. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Bob & Chris Carpenter, onsite owners, are super people who go out of their way to be as helpful as possible and are very welcoming. We have wintered here for several years and consider Rancho Verde our second home. We spend at least two months here each winter. All services, medical and otherwise, are available within 12 miles. There are many nearby attractions. Even Phoenix and the Grand Canyon are nice day trips. Most sites are full hookups but there are around 8 with water & electric only (can be used for tents). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The owners will knock themselves out for you. Are very involved in maintaining a clean and functional park are are VERY friendly. A couple miles off the main hwy., but this is a great park to stay in. Will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Next door to Camp Verde Western Horizons Park just off Highway 260. We spent a week here. The owners, are most helpful & friendly. This park is immaculate & they are constantly cleaning & painting. They are always available to answer questions. A great place to stay while visiting Montezuma's Castle, Sedona, Jerome and Oak Creek Canyon. Cottonwood nearby has a Super Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have been on the road in my 36 foot fifth-wheel (single F, 41, in a 2001 Alpenlite) since last May. I've had one good experience after another and was amazed to find that the RV community welcomed me with open arms. I wasn't prepared for the experience I had at Zane Gray, and am still, a few days later, trying to process it. I originally reserved a space at a place in Cottonwood, because I wanted to be as close to Sedona as possible, but upon arrival (another first) was really uncomfortable in that park -- lots of clutter and no lights at night, permanent residents knocking on my door, wearing a lot of cologne and marveling at "how much we have in common" (aigh)...I don't feel safe here. So I called Zane Gray and asked the woman about a monthly space. She seemed very nice and said she had two people who were likely leaving this weekend. She didn't know which space I'd be in, and I told her moving mid-month wasn't a problem. She said she'd let the people in the office tomorrow know that this was in the works and that they were going to work to get me in somewhere, hopefully -- likely -- by Monday. I asked if I could stop by that afternoon to look around, that it looked lovely but that I'd just like to get a feel for the layout of the place. She said, "Sure, come on down." When I walked into the office I felt like I was talking to a completely different person. She said that she'd received some calls and that the spaces were now spoken for, I knew three minutes into the conversation, given the way she was responding, that that wasn't the truth, that she didn't want me to stay there, but I couldn't work out why. I was baffled. It occured to me at that moment that I'd never experience anything like this before and I suddenly felt even greater empathy for every person of color who was ever turned away from a job interview. I told her that their place looked even better in person, was just beautiful, and that I was sure there wasn't a "bad" space in the park and would be happy to be squeezed in anywhere. I asked about the space she finally admitted wasn't reserved until May, right on the hwy, and asked if I was able to confirm that reservation in an hour or two if I could have that space and she stuttered and paused and looked really uncomfortable and said "Welllllll, you know, if someone calls between now and then, I'll have to give it to them." I'm a nice person....kind, considerate, quick to put others at ease. I still correspond with the owners of several parks I've visited. I like people, old and young, and they like me. I'm 5'7", 120 lbs, (Picture a zen Sandra Bullock.) One park owner told me that they've never had a resident hook up mid-month and pull forward to allow them to mow the grass under the rig. I was wearing a clean white t-shirt and khaki shorts, and clean white tennis shoes. I remained polite, and positive and said "Ok, absolutely, I understand. Let's give it a go. I'll check with the place I'm at and call you right back, and if it's still available, I'd love to take it." But I knew that when I called, I would be told that the space was suddenly spoken for. As I was leaving she said, "Can I ask you a question? How old are you?" I said, "Sure, I'm 41", and she look surprised. She then asked me if I had a boyfriend. ? It was clear at this point that this was her concern. She was afraid, given my age (41?) and marital status that I'd be somehow disruptive or, ? bring strange men home to stay the night? I dunno. I told her that I'm a mtn. biker and photographer, and aspiring travel writer -- a health nut...don't drink, don't smoke, don't have a boyfriend and (with a grin) am not looking for one. I told her that I work out of my rig, enjoy my own company and am just here to hike, bike and soak up the beautiful landscape. I said "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize -- do you have an age limit here?" She said they didn't, that it was an adult park, it's just that people there really like peace and quiet. I told her I appreciate that as I do as well and seek out those kind of parks myself. She looked a little reassured but I left there feeling like I not only didn't want to stay there anymore, I wanted to leave the area. She yelled after me that I could back up and leave the way I came in. It was my second unpleasant experience in 24 hrs and I had never been regarded by anyone, in my life, as someone who wouldn't make for a good neighbor. On the way home I was nearly in tears. I had to drive directly to Sedona from there just to find a reason to stick it out, to remind myself why I'm here. It was sunset...beautiful. I went back to my scary park in Cottonwood, found my creepy neighbor standing next to my rig, and was so anxious to just get inside that I tripped in the dark on the 1/2 step leading up to my rig, fell flat on my face (with a half twist) and ended my day face-up on a concrete slab, looking up at the stars with a bleeding hand and elbow. I've since re-read the reviews for this park and see that someone else had a similar experience at Zane Gray. I'm sorry to say that even I wonder about the reviewer when it's just one individual reporting that they've had a bad experience, in this case been turned away without explanation, when there are so many other great reviews, but I know now that this person probably experienced what I did, and left feeling just as confused. So, beautiful as it is, I wouldn't recommend this park to others and wouldn't advise anyone to count on these owners to keep their word -- strange things happen at this park when clean-cut, friendly travelers show up in person. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow! Friendly, courteous and very hospitable! Yes the staff as well as the guests! Very clean! We stayed here during the Christmas season and they even had our site decorated for us when we arrived! Great for dogs, nice socialization. I would recommend this to short term as well as long term. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a great place. The staff was very friendly, rest rooms, showers and laundry room were spotless. Very wide and deep pull thrus, every site had a table.No cable, but with the antennae we received at least six channels and they were very clear. Can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this park. We have been here 3 times and all 3 times we were made to feel welcome. Managers are very accommodating and the park is kept very clean. Laundry room was spotless as were the restrooms. Does get a little buggy in evening but those Arizona nights are awesome. Only down side was no cable, tv reception was poor. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved it! This is a beautiful oasis in the Verde valley. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Zane Grey RV Park is one of the nicest, well maintined parks that we have ever stayed in. Gary and Jackie, the owners and hosts, were great and willing to do anything to make our stay a memorable one. We have already made reservations to return for a second weekend. We camped there in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well maintained park with friendly hosts. Only drawback (for us, might not be for others) is that it's located about 8 or 9 miles out in the country and over 20 miles from the best shopping and most services. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pretty park and seemed friendly at first, but was told by owners that I was not welcome because I was not their kind of people. If you have a travel trailer or have ever shopped in Walmart within the past year, don't bother with this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very clean, well-maintained park. The landscaping is beautiful and there are lots of beautiful shade trees. The managers are friendly and helpful. The park is geared to retirees. We enjoyed a pre-Thanksgiving Day potluck there. There is some traffic noise, mostly during the day. The park recently added WiFi that was available at our site. The one amenity that the park should add is Cable TV. The reception from our antenna was not very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very small and very well maintained. The on site managers were very nice and helpful. The restrooms are very clean. There are no amenities and it is not for kids. It is small and quiet. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very Nice. Will go back again. We camped here in a camper.
