Hawks Hideaway offers 8 campsites suitable for tents of all sizes, many of which can accommodate two or more tents (additional fees may apply). We also have a large, unfurnished teepee, and are working on a cozy, furnished country cottage. (ETA Sept 25). Large trailers and RVs are NOT allowed. Nearby activities include: bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, stargazing, and rockhounding. This area conforms to the Arizona Dark Sky initiative, and while we are not dark-sky certified, we've had several guests compliment us on our beautiful skys. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study. We gladly welcome pets, as long as you take care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess and filling in any holes. Well mannered, friendly dogs may be unleashed from time to time. Please, PLEASE watch your small pets carefully. If you're traveling with cats, please keep them on a lead. There is a riding academy and boarding facility adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders, hikers and cyclists to travel along the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood, a pleasant 30 minute walk through lush riparian area. Hawks Hideaway is a family owned property, occupied by a 3rd and 4th generation, mother-son team. Two generations have lived and died here before us and we are proud to be the custodians of this majestic property, full of old growth, gigantic cottonwood trees. A birdwatcher, or naturalists dream. Hawks Hideaway is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde River Greenway. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature. Hawks Hideaway is next to many miles of wilderness. You may see or encounter wildlife of all kinds, most are harmless, some are dangerous. It is your responsibility to know the difference. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects. You are responsible for your own safety and are camping here at you own risk. Please do not interact with any wild animals. If you encounter something and need help, please reach out to us. We live on the property and are readily available.

#9 Tuzigoot Tipi @ Hawks Hideaway

Vicky and the property are lovely. The Verde was running strong after a big Flag rain. We had plenty of room for a big group. The photos don’t do it justice.

#4 Cluster of Trees @ Hawks Hideawa

Vicky’s place was easy to find with detailed instructions. We were able to hike into Historic Downtown Cottonwood from our campsite. Hike in the opposite direction to see Tuzigoot Historic architectural site.

#7 Riverwalk @ Hawks Hideaway

We were only there for one night and arrived later than he hoped, and Vicky was very helpful with directions and recommendations for things we could do in the morning before we had to get on the road. Our site was nice and big and very quiet. Next time hope to stay a bit longer to enjoy it more!

#7 Riverwalk @ Hawks Hideaway

We absolutely loved it here. So quiet and private. Being able to hike to the river access was so nice. A 5 mile hike to the tuzigoot Indian ruins that can be seen from the campsite. So many trees for shade. The well water provided was delicious. Vicky is a sweetheart. We’re hoping to come back next year!

#3 Circle of Trees @ Hawks Hideaway

We had a great weekend despite the location of our campsite We left each day and stayed away until time to make and eat dinner and stay inside our camper. Fire-rings were inadequate - a ring of rocks surrounded and filled with brush, leaves and flammables. The view beyond the three trees in the photo of our campsite was junked cars, derelict farm equipment, piles of debris, smoldering leaves, trash and downed fences shored up with collections of flood debris. Bathrooms were 2 portapotties (which were very clean) but the cast iron table next to them held a bottle of sanitizer and a hose end. The hose was a trickle and that was for washing.

#3 Circle of Trees @ Hawks Hideaway

Fun camp site! Super close to the river and it was fun to explore. We could hear owls hoping during the night. Very clean as well.
