Ladders Trail

Chasm Creek Trail climbs through the Prescott National Forest for about 6.36 miles. The Verde Ranger District manages it, and it carries the number 0164. Allowed uses are hiking and horseback riding. Grades run from 12 to 20 percent, which is steep, so this is a harder walk than its length alone suggests. Expect to gain and lose height through the route. The surface is native material, dirt and rock without any paving, and it is rated trail class 2, a plain path. Carry water and start early in warm months. Ask the Verde Ranger District about conditions first.

Verde Valley Pools and Spas, LLC. cleans and repairs swimming pools and spas from 3491 East Desert Drive. The company holds an active Arizona license, ROC 359393, in the CR-6 class for swimming pool service and repair, checked on September 20, 2026. Customers in Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Cornville, Rimrock and Sedona are served. Call (928) 202-8466 or send email to set up a visit. Ask whether you want a one time clean or a regular route stop, since the two are priced differently. Ask for the license number in writing before repair work on pumps, heaters or filters begins.

The Camp Verde Chamber of Commerce keeps a business directory and event listings for the town, and sells advertising to member businesses. Its address is 3640 South Octillo Lane in Camp Verde. Businesses in Camp Verde, Cornville and Sedona appear in what it publishes. The phone number is (623) 565-0291, and there is a website with the member list and a calendar. Owners should call to ask what membership costs, what a listing includes and how events get added. Visitors can use the same site to see what is open in town, though listings are member based rather than complete.

Clear Creek Campground is a campground in Camp Verde run by USFS. Sites here can be reserved. To get there, take Exit 287 off Interstate 17, then turn onto AZ-260 and drive about 8 miles. ADA access is marked N, so plan for sites that are not set up for wheelchairs. The listed phone is (928) 204-0028. One thing looks odd. The email is clearcreek@gmail.com, a free mail address rather than an agency one, so we would call before trusting it. We do not have hours, fees, or the number of sites on file.

Zane Grey RV Village takes recreational vehicles and rents cabins at 4500 State Route 260 in Camp Verde. Dogs are welcome. Guests from Cottonwood and Sedona as well as Camp Verde use it, and the park is open through the year rather than for one season. Reservations can be made for either an RV site or a cabin, so say which you want. The phone number is (928) 567-4320, and there is an email address for booking. Ask about site length, hookups, shade and what the nightly and monthly rates are before you commit to a stay.

Arnold Trail is one of the shortest trails we list near Camp Verde, at 0.34 miles. It sits in the Verde Ranger District of Prescott National Forest and carries the number 0510. The typical grade runs 5 to 8 percent, so it climbs steadily without being steep. The surface is native material, and the trail class is 2. Hiking, horses and bicycles are all listed as allowed uses. A trail this short usually works as a link between longer routes rather than as a walk on its own. We do not yet hold parking or trailhead details for it, so check with that office before you set off.

Box T Trail is a long route in the Prescott National Forest, listed at 10.36 miles. It is managed by the Verde Ranger District and numbered 0511. The surface is native material, meaning dirt and rock rather than pavement. Grades run from 5 to 8 percent, so the climbing is steady rather than sharp. It is rated trail class 2, a basic path without much construction. Allowed uses are wide: hiking, horseback riding, bicycles and all terrain vehicles. Because motorized and quiet users share the same tread, expect company. Ask the Verde Ranger District about conditions and closures before you go.

Buckskin Trail is 1.88 miles near Camp Verde, in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest, as trail number 179. The typical grade is 5 to 8 percent, moderate throughout, and the surface is native material. The trail class is 1, the least developed class, so expect rough tread and light marking rather than a graded path. The allowed uses are not posted, so ask before you ride. On a class 1 trail the navigation matters as much as the distance: carry a map and do not rely on signs at junctions.
