Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Fire Ban is now in effect 5/14/2024 Notice: Beasley Flat Rec. Area is open again as of 4/20/23 The area is part of the National Wild and Scenic preserve on the Verde River. The river is one of the only few free flowing rivers in Arizona. Otters, Beaver, Blue Heron and a vast amount of migratory birds call it home. Once an inland water way to the Sea of Cortez, the river was part of the trade route during ancient times. Many Indian Ruins and archeological sites to visit in the area. Scenic boating, hiking and ATV trails right from your campsite. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent or a small camp trailer in a 1/2 acre Mesquite grove. Five minute stroll to the Verde River. Horse Back Tours and Boat rentals available locally within walking distance. National Forest recreation area (Beasley Flat) close by. Many Indian ruins, entertainment, wineries and mountain trail to explore in the area. Great wildlife viewing in the scenic Verde Valley of Arizona.Pitch a tent or a small camp trailer in a 1/2 acre Mesquite grove. Five minute stroll to the Verde River.

Great site…we used as a launching pad for Fossil Creek, 25 min to the start of the 14 mile dirt road…was a little concerned about not having a toilet but there are porta potty’s at a recreation site about 2-3 walking down the road, felt private and serene

Nice spot
Kind and hospitable hosts. Really loved the location. We had some cows for neighbors, we loved it. (Y'all, do not not pet the cows. They aren't tame and they have calves). Not good for pets at this time due to foxtails...and maybe because of the cattle. Bring a camp toilet, privacy tent is a good idea, it is a kinda busy road during the day and there is a neighboring home that is occupied, but the river is just a short walk away, and you can hear it at night. Mindeleff Cavates are within walking distance...not sure how far but it was an easy walk to see them.

Gene's camp spot had amazing access to the Verde River. We floated a few times during the weekend and were able to take out our boats walking distance from the site.

Dispersed camping
Gene is such a welcoming and kind soul. We needed a place to camp last minute and he was very responsive and helpful. He let us check out the area before we booked. He also gave us some firewood, and we had a great conversation with him. Highly recommend!! There is so much to do around the campsite (cave dwellings, petroglyphs, Verde river access), but sadly we had to leave the next day!
