Cave
Springs Campground is located at the northern end
of Sedona's famous Oak Creek Canyon, 11 miles from the 89A
turnoff in Sedona. Cave Springs is the largest campground along scenic Oak Creek. There is enough room for the kids to burn off the extra energy and fishing is right on your doorstep if you reserve a site along the creek. All of the campgrounds along Oak Creek are available by reservation only.
If you have forgotten anything, Cave Springs has opened a new expanded store that stocks the essentials. There are toys for the kids, cookware, liquid gas, beverages and candy. Ice and Firewood are both available at the store also. The additional items available are a nice addition to this first class campground.
Cave Springs is located just a few miles
north of Slide Rock State Park, a great place to have a
picnic and enjoy the scenery. No glass containers or pets
are allowed in the park. Slide Rock was named one of Life
