Overview

Cave Springs sits in the scenic Oak Creek Canyon and is one of Coconino National Forest's most popular campgrounds.

The campground is nestled in a forested canyon near the town of Sedona, Arizona, and its famous red rock cliffs. The scenery is unmatched, the stream is stocked with trout, and swimming, hiking and birding spots are nearby.

Recreation

There are several hiking trails in the vicinity. Some lead up the canyon slopes to offer good views of the surrounding scenery. The creek is bordered with paths that lead along its picturesque course, offering great bird watching and fishing.

Facilities

Cave Spring is a large campground with 84 campsites, including one tent-only site. All sites have picnic tables, campfire rings and cooking grills. Token-operated showers, drinking water and vault restrooms are provided for convenience. The facility can host RVs, trailers and motor homes up to 36-ft.

Natural Features

The area is a heavily wooded, lush riparian zone. Campsites are located in a shady stand of ponderosa pines in the upper reaches of the canyon. Many of the campsites are located right on the banks of Oak Creek. The creek has crystal clear, cool water that is refreshing on hot summer days.

Nearby Attractions

The nearest town is Sedona, popular for its red rock vistas, resorts and shopping. One of Arizona's best swimming spots, Slide Rock State Park, is down the road.

Campers can also explore the 1.8-million acre Coconino National Forest, which boasts a spectacular variety of scenery and outdoor activities.

We had a reservation at Cave Spring, but unfortunately there was flooding the night before and the bridge to the campground was impassible. Denise was extremely helpful, calling and emailing to let us know, and coordinated with Carolyn at Pine Flats up the road to get us a last minute campsite. Great teamwork and effort to make sure we had a place to stay during what I am sure was a very chaotic time. So, we didn't get to actually stay at Cave Springs, but the camp hosts at both campgrounds made sure we were taken care of!

Grounds and facilities exceptionally clean and well kept. Staff is very friendly and helpful providing comforting support and guidance during severe flood warning conditions.

Camp host was awful. Didn’t even know who they were because they always had “off duty” sign up the whole time yet when they felt like they had something to say they did. They were very confrontational and rude. Was just there to enjoy nature but they made it difficult

The campground was very disappointing. Roads were not maintained (it did not appear to be due to recent flooding, just poor maintenance). The available campsites were very crowded together. The parking space for my assigned site was literally right next to the adjacent site. I drove around and found a few sites that were more private and asked to change, but the staff told me that those sites were closed for the season. I could not envision staying for two nights, so I moved on to Dead Horse Ranch State Park, a beautiful choice.

I've been coming here for years ever since I can remember but this year, I give a shout out to the camp host and everyone in the crew they were amazing! Very nice, caring, helpful, and really attentive to the campers. Will be back for sure !

My girlfriend and I come every year. Always a pleasant time with nice scenery around the area. Site was very clean and spacious. The hosts/workers were very kind and do a great job. We’ll be back next year!
