Camp, Hike, and Swim

Chavez Crossing is a campground in Sedona, Arizona. It sits perfectly nestled in Arizona's most beautiful red rock attractions along with the grand summer sunsets. If that didn't sound convincing  enough, Chavez Crossing is also conveniently close to Sedona's Oak Creek. Turn a hot summer day into a relaxing water day full of wading, fishing, or swimming! The campsites are located in the thickets of Arizona's sycamore grove and cypress trees. The campsite offers many amenities such as campfire rings, grills, pit toilets, picnic tables, fire pits, a water spigot, and easy creek access. The campground also has onsite host that can assist guest with questions and needs. Nearby there are restaurants, a golf course, an art gallery, and  local shops if you are in need of an item. 

If you're itching for adventure, there are other great attractions near the campground. There are swimming holes, panoramic views of the Munds Mountain Wilderness, Secret Mountain Wilderness, and the infamous Red Rock, where you can find rock art from early inhabitants of the area. If you decide to come to Chavez Crossing, stay long enough to see the sunset. There is something magical about the sunsets in this area. Suddenly the water becomes still, and there doesn't seem to be movement. It is almost as if nature is just as attentive and captivated by the sunsets as we are.
