About
Cave Springs sits in the scenic Oak Creek Canyon and is one of Coconino National Forest's most popular campgrounds. The campground is nestled in a forested canyon near the town of Sedona, Arizona, surrounded by famous red rock cliffs and unmatched scenery. The area is a heavily wooded, lush riparian zone with 84 campsites located in a shady stand of ponderosa pines in the upper reaches of the canyon. Many campsites are positioned right on the banks of Oak Creek, which features crystal clear, cool water that is refreshing on hot summer days. The creek is stocked with trout and offers excellent fishing opportunities. Several hiking trails in the vicinity lead up the canyon slopes to offer good views of the surrounding scenery. The creek is bordered with paths that lead along its picturesque course, providing great bird watching opportunities. The nearest town is Sedona, popular for its red rock vistas, resorts and shopping. One of Arizona's best swimming spots, Slide Rock State Park, is located down the road. Campers can also explore the 1.8-million acre Coconino National Forest, which boasts a spectacular variety of scenery and outdoor activities.
