Oxbow Estates RV Park

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via paved road just off Highway 87, Oxbow Estates RV Park provides full-hookup camping on level gravel sites accommodating RVs up to 32 feet. The private campground sits in a rural setting with trees and nearby farms, positioned away from main traffic routes. Staff members handle reservations and typically deliver mail to campsites daily.

Sites feature electric, water, and sewer connections along with access to clean restrooms and shower facilities. The gravel surface creates some dust but contributes to the level parking that reviewers consistently mention. Todd G. notes the sites offer "decent amount of room and very clean" conditions. An on-site electrician ensures reliable power connections across the property.

The location keeps road noise to a minimum while maintaining convenient access to Payson's services and surrounding recreational areas. Farm animals graze across the street, including a friendly donkey that occasionally brays and enjoys attention from visitors. Staff members share information about local hiking trails accessible from the campground. For those exploring the region, camping near Payson includes both developed and dispersed options.

Rates run $50 per night with pets welcome on-site. The campground accepts reservations, which proves helpful during busy periods when other area facilities fill up quickly.

Numerous guests pointed out the level sites, reliable hookups, and exceptionally helpful staff. The rural location provides a quiet retreat from highway noise with friendly farm animals nearby.

Clean quiet no frills

Decided to do a fairly short notice shakedown trip to Payson memorial day weekend. On such short notice the main Payson campground was already full, in searching around I found Oxbow as an alternative. Called up to see if there was availability and Nora the manager was super kind and assisted me in getting a fantastic campsite. Sites are very level, decent amount of room and very clean. It’s all gravel, a bit dusty, but setback well off the highway near several farms so it was very quiet both during the day and especially at night. While backing in the electrician happened to notice our rig and came over to speak with us and talked about how she had made sure that all wiring was solid, which I can confirm is true. Had full hook ups and everything was fine. Across the street is a donkey that’s very friendly likes to be pet and brays every now and again. would definitely stay here again.
