Hawks Hideaway Camping, LLC

17 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents7 acres · Cottonwood, AZ

We offer various camping accommodations, as well as a teepee. See our different listings for info on each. A few choice examples of local activities to do on or very near to our campsite include: Bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, stargazing, and even 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 location. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study. The cliff walls of the Verde River offer clear and distinct sedimentary layers, and the frequent flooding of the massive sandy riverbed reveals countless undiscovered treasures.We gladly welcome pets, including horses, as long as the guests inform us of their presence, and takes care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess. There is a professional horse-boarding field and stables adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders to follow the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood if they so desire. Please remember that this is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde Ripparian Greenway and the Verde River. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects.

We visited here over Memorial Day weekend 2016 and loved it. Had no trouble finding a site and people were coming and going daily without issue. Many sites can accommodate travel trailers. We opted for a spot away from the cliff edge since we were traveling with small children and toddlers, but if you have older children or none at all I would highly recommend picking a spot near the edge. The views are phenomenal looking down on tree tops, offering a great sunrise view. The camp hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. There are several bathrooms and potable water, but no showers. Sites are $8/night. All sites are surrounded by countless ponderosa pines providing plenty of shade. Small restaurant/shop/gas station on 87.
