Mesquite Campground offers 12 first-come, first-served sites along the Verde River with shaded mesquite trees, fire rings, and picnic tables at $16/night.

The campground provides direct river access for fishing and non-motorized boating, though motorized watercraft are prohibited on flowing portions of the Verde River.

Note that the access road is unpaved and unmaintained (high-clearance 4WD recommended, not suitable for trailers), potable water is unavailable, and there are no trash services—pack out all waste.
