Our Take
What makes PINE FLAT CAMPGROUND WEST special
Few campgrounds in Arizona can rival the dramatic scenery of Pine Flat Campground West, perched along the banks of Oak Creek in the legendary Oak Creek Canyon. Part of the Coconino National Forest, this campground sits in a narrow, red-walled canyon corridor where towering ponderosa pines shade the creek banks and sandstone cliffs glow amber in the afternoon light. Oak Creek Canyon has long been considered one of the most scenic drives in America, and camping here puts you right in the middle of it. The creek offers wading, fishing, and creek-side relaxation, while nearby trails lead to swimming holes and overlooks with sweeping canyon views. The famous Slide Rock State Park is just a short drive away, and the art galleries, restaurants, and red-rock vortex sites of Sedona lie at the canyon's southern mouth. Pine Flat West provides a limited number of sites, making it feel intimate and uncrowded when you secure a spot. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets on-site. Due to its popularity and small size, this campground fills very early on weekends and holidays. Arriving on a Thursday or Friday morning dramatically improves your chances. The best season runs from April through October, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable temperatures and the most vivid canyon colors.
