Located in the geographical center of Arizona, Camp Verde is an interesting and economical stop when planning your next trip. Settled in 1865, Camp Verde is the oldest settlement in the Verde Valley and is home to a historic military post, Fort Verde State Park. Fort Verde was built as protection for the settlers against Indian raids. Still a rural farming and western ranching community, you will find our town friendly and relaxed.

Our weather is beautifully unique, being at 3147 feet elevation and surrounded by mountains. The mountains shelter us and the summer rains make our valley green and lush. In fact, “Verde” is the Spanish word for green. While you are here, you can enjoy our many outdoor activities, such as horseback riding, van tours, fishing, canoeing, hiking, and camping.

Camp Verde has a wide variety of clubs, civic organizations, churches, and a very active senior center.
