What a great camping spot, and amazing hosts! My girlfriend…read moreand I came here the week after the November 2020 elections to get away from everything, on a week that could only be described as "unseasonably cold." It's a beautiful little campground just about 15 minutes away from Uptown Sedona and alongside Oak Creek. We started out with two nights at the site furthest to the right upon entrance, and that backs up to a little pool and cliff. We had some fairly rowdy neighbors who were constantly breaking the rules and seem to have been ejected early, which was greatly appreciated, because rules are important, especially when they are mainly instated to enforce common courtesy to everyone else. The site has only 19 spots, with the majority of them hugging the creek. The others are sort of in the middle of the loop-street and lack views, immediate water-access, and privacy, as they're right out in the middle and cars drive around them. Our last two nights we moved to Site 19, which was perfect. The campsite is small enough so that proximity to the camp host/firewood, and the bathrooms is not an issue, and our spot was furthest from the entrance, and therefore was the most private/secluded. Each spot has a pretty flat spot, usually with partial shade for the tent, a firepit, and a heavy duty picnic table. There are trout in the river, and I hooked one up behind our first spot where there is a wonderfully clear and deep pool, as well as a little cliff that's fun to climb up and around. Dennis, one of the camp hosts, pointed out that there were 6-8 visible trout in the small pool behind Site 10 and so we rushed over there, and he watched us attempt unsuccessfully to lure out the fish, and then came over with a chunk of Velveeta cheese, which he said he always had luck with. We would return to this spot for the next few days and eventually hooked up a few trout, which was great. Everything about this site is great, and I'm just the slightest bit hesitant about raving too highly lest it becomes more difficult to reserve in the future. Great location, great hosts, an extremely clean vault bathroom that smells of Febreeze, a creek full of fish, firewood for sale, and camp hosts that keep the place in amazing condition. 5/5. Would recommend. Would like to return soon.

Cragin) is this amazing hidden gem in Happy Jack that is popular with canoers, kayakers, and fishermen. The campground is about two miles from the reservoir. Rock Crossing is comprised of 31 individual family sites and two double sites. Each site can accommodate up to 8 people and is good for both tent and trailer camping. I booked my site ahead of time on recreation.gov. The campground provides fire rings, toilets, cooking grills, drinking water, bear food storage lockers, and picnic tables. The surrounding area is so beautiful and has ponderosa pine and oak trees all around. You also get some great views of the Mogollon Rim. It's pretty quiet here in the evenings and the stars shine bright because there are no major cities around. We tent camped and had a great time grilling and kayaking at Blue Ridge. Book early as the sites fill up quick!

I will always be grateful for how wonderful Sheri was for helping me. Thanks for a great experience!

We could've leveled it out completely but it didn't bother us. The roads within campground are all dirt, not paved, so do note that. We arrived around 11pm so it was very dark and slightly confusing to navigate since the roads are not marked. Restrooms were easy to get to and clean enough but no running water inside. Most sites are spread out decently but noise does travel if you have loud guests. All in all, a nice weekend stay and I would come back again.

And 1 one of my friends from Phoenix came over to visit. He got his own site and the owner, made it so that we were right next to each other which was awesome. So in all we had 9 people between us (2 of which were children around 10-12 yrs old). We came to the area to do hiking, dining, and sightseeing in Sedona and the surrounding area. The neighbors some of which were "long stay" tenants were very nice to us as well and helped us when our water hose was leaking. Overall great stay with no complaints. The only hit I would give this place is that you do have to drive to Sedona but it's not too bad of a drive.

If you do, you will be tucked in between mobile homes & old rv's some of which are from the 60's or 70's. The nicer spaces are in the back of park but you have to be a permanent, monthly or have over a 31 ft long rv. The park has a lot of trees and is relatively quiet unless you are in the front near Hwy 260 and the bar across the street. We were in the front near some very old rv & run down mobiles with outdated hookups. The office people were friendly & so where the people we met walking their dogs. The club house looked nice but was closed due to a water pipe breaking. There is a tiny dog run next to club house with doggie poop bags. The further you get toward the back of rv park the nicer it is with big rigs and newer mobiles. Our friend needed guidance with backing his 5th wheel in but the man from the office just left him to figure it out. Couldn't pull through due to a fire dept. no parking sign. Not sure if restrooms or laundry is nice since we didn't use them. Would probably stay again but only if we could get toward the back. We checked a few other rv parks in the Payson area and this seemed like the best one. Stayed in a 2014 24ft travel trailer. Our friends stayed in a 28 ft 5th wheel.

This is a very interesting property. It is a little rough around the edges and could use some TLC…read morebut there are some very nice amenities here. I would not call this a classic hotel. I guess it is more of a motel but with rooms that might be better classified as cabins. This property is about a 10 minute drive from downtown Sedona. The Oak Creek literally runs by the property and is a short walk down from the cabins. There are a ton of chairs and even a fantastic hammock near the creek for hanging out. The noise of the creek is incredibly soothing. I took a beautiful afternoon nap next to it. For the more adventurous of you, if you cross a few small rocks, you can get right next to the creek itself. The rocks aren't too treacherous, I promise. There are a few chairs set up next to the creek if you make it that far. Apparently, the hotel will even lend you a fishing pole, if that is your thing. It is not the thing for me. And don't even think about fishing for the gorgeous koi in the koi pond on-site. Every room has a fridge and a microwave. I think every room has a jacuzzi tub. Some of the rooms come with outdoor patios with chairs and a TV. Others do not. Some of the larger rooms even have a little kitchenette area. As far as I can tell, every room also comes with an outdoor BBQ. For reasons that are not all that interesting, I got to experience one of the larger rooms/cabins and it had plenty of space. I also got to check out two of the smaller cabins. One was small but fine, although the sink and shower were tiny. The other room was REALLY small, although the bathroom and shower were larger. So maybe ask about the details of the room you are booking before you make your reservation. They clearly vary in size. I found the prices very, very reasonable compared to what you might get in downtown Sedona and certainly compared to the high end resorts in town. I don't normally hang out at hotels/motels for purposes other than sleeping but the presence of the beautiful running creek made me stay on site much longer than I expected. This place absolutely will not satisfy the folks who stay at the top end resorts but if you don't mind some rough edges, want a little peace and quiet near a creek, if you want a darn good nightly rate, and if you got shut out of every other place in town like I did, you might consider this property.

But the service was definitely lacking and we never did get housekeeping service. Plus the buildings needed a refresh. But the price was good for the area and the location was pretty sweet. There are other, nicer places along the highway, but they tend to be much more expensive. And staying in Sedona itself is a bit of a tourist trap. So as long as you aren't too fussy, this is not a terrible place to stay.

We have been here once and we stayed in the rooms versus the cabins and I can say that I am in love with the cabins.

I want them to know how wonderful they are, but also dont want this place to change and get to busy.... completely selfish on my part.

BEWARE: Targeted Attempted Robbery…read more The Joy Sedona is an undeniably stunning property. It has spacious cabins, incredible layouts, and is set beautifully right by the creek. It is exactly the kind of serene luxury retreat you expect when visiting Sedona. However, the absolute beauty of this property masks a dark, predatory reality. Please read my experience below: Every night, my wife places her highly valuable jewelry--including her stunning engagement ring and expensive diamond gold earrings--on the nightstand next to the bed. On our first morning, we woke up, all the jewelry was still there, we made coffee and walked 25 steps down from our cabin to that gorgeous creek to enjoy the morning views. Because we were in a secluded, luxury style area and only intended to be gone for a few minutes, we just left the jewelry on the table (around 9:00am). We were gone for about eight minutes but that brief eight-minute window was all it took for the illusion of paradise to shatter. When we returned, the ring and both earrings were gone. After tearing the room apart for over an hour, my wife finally, out of sheer desperation, checked the small trash bin next to the toilet. Deep inside, perfectly placed on top of tissues, was her jewelry. (I am attaching a video of my wife showing exactly how she found the jewelry buried inside the bin--obviously she wasn't filming when she actively was looking, so this video was taken a few moments after she found her jewelry, showing how it was staged). It was immediately clear to us that this was not a case of misplaced items; it was an organized, targeted attempted theft. The staff had scoped us out from the moment we arrived, targeted her high-end jewelry, and watched our movements. The second we stepped down to the creek, they made their move. The strategy was simple: hide the jewelry in the trash so that we would assume we lost it. Then, during standard housekeeping service, they would empty the bin and walk away with the items. By staging it in the trash beforehand, the perpetrator ensured they wouldn't have the stolen goods on their person if we immediately called the police, and could claim they never entered our room because it was technically before housekeeping cleaned the room. Shockingly, there are zero security cameras on this expansive property--a convenience that clearly serves those working here. When I confronted Michael, the Director of Ops, he promised a "serious investigation." Yet, the very next day, the exact same staff members were walking around the property as if nothing happened. Michael then offered us two insulting options: stay and receive a 10% discount, or leave with a refund only for the remaining night. We never once asked for a discount, a refund, or money. We only wanted justice and accountability. When I made this clear, Michael abandoned logic and maliciously stated: "The other option is that you falsified the story." When I asked him why I would fabricate a robbery when I was refusing any financial compensation, nor had I asked for any compensation at any time, his response was: "Well, sometimes people do things that don't make sense." That is when it became a disturbing question--is management in on this operation? Michael's handling of the situation and refusal to terminate or suspend the suspected staff points directly to a potential top-down cover-up. It seemed he didn't want an investigation; he wanted to protect the scam. We spoke to the guest in the cabin next to us to warn him. He revealed he and his wife stay here frequently, and last year, he remembered that his wife "lost" her necklace and simply moved on thinking she had lost it. Do not let the beautiful, open creek-side views fool you. This is not a luxury business; it appears to be a coordinated theft ring masquerading as a high-end retreat. Management appears to be actively shielding--if not leading--the exploitation of their own guests. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want your privacy violated and your valuables potentially stolen by the very people running the property.
