Distant Drums RV Resort - Camp Verde, Arizona

Enjoyed our stay at Distant Drums RV Resort. Facilities are clean, park is quiet, staff is excellent. Close to Jerome and Sedona for day trips.

Very clean park. We enjoyed our stay. We ventured out and saw a lot of local sites and, of course, Sonoma. About 5 miles away is a small town with a grocery store, gas station, and post office.
And we weren't aware that this area has several wineries, so if you're into that, it would be a nice day or two tripping around the wineries.

This will be a mixed review - first, the staff at this campground is awesome! Sergio could not have been more helpful when we called and booked the reservation, and Rick was just plain awesome in his helpfulness. This facility is located right next to the interstate, so there is a lot of traffic noise, which is to be expected, no problem. The clubhouse was first rate. The shower facilities, while a little dated, were just perfect for our needs. We stayed one night and used one of the pull-through slots. The slab was not even close to being level. Here is my frustration - they put us next to a camper who had parked going the wrong way into their site, which caused all kinds of frustrations. Our slideouts were literally one foot apart. They could barely get outside their door without ducking to get around their RV because of the possibility of them hitting their heads on our slides. There were four spaces available beside the folks that had parked the wrong way that were empty. Instead of placing us just two spaces down, which would have alleviated all the problems, they placed us right next to the wrong-way camper. My frustration came from the fact that everybody on the staff knew the people were parked in the wrong direction and it was causing problems. But their comment was, "Yeah, I saw that, that's a hassle." No offer to move us or put the wrong way campers the right way. It left us with a bad taste in our mouths for the overall customer service. It did not have to happen! We will not stay here again.

Nice park but older so sites are narrow and tight. We wanted a pull through so we did not need to unhook from our toad. We are a total of 65 feet long with our pickup toad. It was extremely difficult to maneuver to avoid obstacles. Do not book into this park if you are long and don't want to unhook from your towed vehicle.

We stayed a couple of nights on site 79. Pull through FHU. 50/30/20, pedestal tall enough for watchdog to not touch the ground, water, 4" threaded sewer with screw cap. No issues with power/water/sewer.
Concrete pad with concrete patio. Picnic table, no fire ring.
0.5 degrees low in back, 0.1 degrees low on right, so we were able to auto-level with no ramps or pads.
Sites are opposite facing angled parallel. Tight spacing between sites, but the opposite facing and angled helps a lot in terms of not feeling too walled in.
With slides out you have to walk on the adjacent site to walk around the coach on the utilities side.
Site long enough for coach and toad.
Big rig capable but interior roads are on the snug side.
Easy on off I-17.
Some road noise from the nearby Interstate, but not too bad.
Eight washers and dryers, but a number of the washers were dirty. $3.00 wash, $1.50 dry

Pool and hot tub. Exercise room.

Showers were okay.

Dog run.

4 bars LTE Verizon, 1-2 bars T-Mobile, decent AT&T data.

Entrance has a dip that caused our drop hitch to drag

Great place! We had a fairly level spot and was glad not to have to hunt down the trash dumpster. The hot tub and pool were a welcome relief from driving all day. The staff were all friendly and very helpful.

Great place! Laura, Sergio and the complete staff were friendly and helpful. Sites are clean and on concrete pads...how can you ask for more! Pool , laundry, gym, restrooms and store are exceptionally clean and well maintsined. Very convenient to many Sedona sites and shops. Free shuttle to casino if you choose to go. We'd stay again when in the area.

Modern, new campground. We stayed here to visit Sedona, AZ which allowed us to keep our rig out of the winding roads. The campground is very nice with plenty of pull-thru, big rig sites. This is right off the freeway, but there wasn't any significant road noise during the night; if that's a concern for you then try getting a site at the back like 82, 110, or 133.
