6. Beaver Creek Campground Area 34°39'49.85"N, 109°28'48.94"W


Our sixth stop on our virtual tour of places of interest in the Verde Valley of Arizona is Beaver Creek Campground. This is a small campground where you can camp any way that you like. There is space for small as well large campers. You can camp using a tent or just sleeping bags on the ground. You pay for your campsite using the honor method, but one of the campers who stay for the season is in charge of overseeing the campground for security purposes. You may also just spend the day at the campground to enjoy the water. Beaver Creek flows along side the campground. There is a beautiful swimming hole that has a solid red sandstone bottom located just adjacent to the campground. The stream is approximately three and to four feet in depth in most places. Large flat red sandstone rocks approximately ten to twelve feet square can be found all along the length of the creek. These large flat rocks allow people to be able to walk from the campground all along the creek without getting their feet wet. This campground is maintained by the National Forest Service.
