Gene's campsite offers a serene and convenient outdoor experience near the Verde River. Campers appreciate the lush, spacious land that's great for pets and kids, with easy access to hiking trails and river activities. The site is praised for its privacy, though some mention the presence of nearby homes and a busy road during the day. Despite a few concerns about bugs and maintenance, the hosts' friendliness and the picturesque setting make it a popular choice.

Weekend getaway under the stars
Tent · With pets
Loved this spot. just secluded enough to really enjoy your time. the ground was so soft, made sleeping very comfortable. plenty of space for my two dogs to walk around and the close (literally across the way) proximity of the river was very nice. you're about 20 minutes from town if you forgot and/or need something. you are technically in a residential area and next too a residence but it's very quiet and peaceful. the location of camp verde is smack in the middle. you can wake up early enough and take a 2.45 hr drive to the south rim of the grand canyon, 45 min drive to flagstaff, and prescott. you can do a lot of sightseeing at one of the many trails nearby or if you drive out, you have plenty to do. the night sky is amazing as well! Gene, it was great talking to you guys and maybe next time I'll take your offer on that drink!

Great experience! Great piece of land so close to fishing and floating spots 10 minute walks from site. We had a group of 15. Porta potty’s at the end of the road for public use. 20 minute drive from downtown and great exploring spots. Owners were very hospitable and friendly! Highly recommended

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
Tent · With kids
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.
