Camping is one of the most fun and affordable activities you can possibly do, and one campground is taking it to a whole new level. Located in Camp Verde, Jackpot Ranch is one of the best campgrounds for families in Arizona, complete with a petting zoo, playgrounds, and a waterslide. All ages are sure to have a great time here!
With 750 feet of Verde River frontage, Jackpot Ranch is a true oasis in the desert.
The ranch was established in 1998 as a horse boarding facility, but it has since expanded to accommodate overnight guests as well.
One of the best campgrounds for families in Arizona, the ranch is conveniently located just an hour from Phoenix.
Despite being so close to our state's largest city, the sprawling, 85-acre getaway feels like a whole different world.
There are several different cabins available that sleep between four and 30 guests, and the campground is also tent and RV-friendly.
You can also spend the night under a sky full of stars with the nearby firepit where you can make s'mores and tell ghost stories.
During the day, you'll find no shortage of fun activities to keep the kiddos (and yourselves!) entertained.
From a huge treehouse and several other playgrounds to outdoor movies and a game room, boredom isn't even in the realm of possibility.
Get up close and personal with miniature horses and donkeys, then mosey on over to the petting zoo to hang out with more of the ranch's animal residents.
You'll see deer, goats, pigs, ducks, rabbits, and chickens, all of whom are eager to make your acquaintance.
Additional activities include ponds for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boating, plus a waterslide, sports court, and baseball field.
There's also a full-size rodeo arena if your family happens to be involved in horseback riding!
Address: 2025 W Reservation Loop Rd, Camp Verde, AZ 86322.
