Payson Campground & RV Resort

The campground is kept up so well. It looks like it could be iffy when you see it from the street but as soon as you drive up to check in you’ll change your mind. The greeting area is really nice and modern. There was a really kind man who took me to my site while I followed him. He helped me back into my site. I chose a backin spot but there’s tons of pull through options too. I’ll only be staying here while in Payson.

Absolutely not big-rig friendly — do not attempt. From the moment we pulled in off the highway and had to climb a steep incline, we had a feeling this park wasn’t designed for larger RVs. The entire RV park feels more like an unmaintained dirt boondocking lot: extremely uneven, unlevel sites, rigs parked at all angles, and large dirt mounds you have to drive over. With our fifth wheel, the clearance between our bed and the truck was the closest it has ever been to making contact. Our “pull-through” site wasn’t even possible to pull through when leaving because a curved tree had branches scraping the full side of our RV. We had to back out down the dirt mound we originally drove up to get into the site. The final exit was the worst part — the incline is so steep that we bottomed out, and the back of the RV scraped the pavement. Sharing this as a genuine warning for other big rigs considering this park. It may be fine for smaller RVs, but for big fifth wheels or motorhomes, it’s a hard pass. We have a 42’ Grand Design Solitude for reference.

Great family-friendly campground. We stayed here for a fall family camping weekend with another family. The host called us after our booking and suggested two other sites that would work better for us, which we appreciated. We all appreciated the clean full bathrooms with warm showers, and the well maintained-sites. There is an office and store on-site that sells firewood. Very close to stores, restaurants, etc. We made a great choice!

This campground has large private RV spaces. The showers are large and the water pressure is very good. however there was no bench or chair to set my stuff on. We travel with dogs and the dog park was really just a dog space. It was a little more than a dog run. Maybe 3 to 4 feet wide and 18 feet long. The staff was very friendly and the spaces were very clean. That site is close to town however getting in and out is off of the busy street and you can only see the campground sign if you’re coming from the west. The online automated telephone system is horrible! It forces you listen to the entire message before it’ll give you an option for a clerk at the front desk.

RV Park is very clean and well kept. Large laundry room and bathroom. Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to town and shops as well as Pine and Strawberry Arizona.
