Beautiful isolated camping area with access to the Verde river. There are about 7 sites. The weekend we came, only a few were taken, so if you want to camp with very few people around this is the spot. There is a bathroom as well so that's a plus. The best way to get here is through fossil. creek road through camp Verde. The first 14 miles the road is bumpy but easy, the last 3 miles there are...

The best way to get here is through fossil. creek road through camp Verde. The first 14 miles the road is bumpy but easy, the last 3 miles there are a few rocks and a high clearance is probably needed, but the road is pretty chill if you have a something with clearance. Last time we went there were many skunks like 10. So be ready.
