Just returned from a 4 day trip to Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood {about 25 miles southwest of Sedona}.
The weather was nice with temps in the mid to upper 80's but by the middle of May triple digits will be the rule vs the exception for the rest of the summer. Once you get up to 7 to 9,000' heat is no longer an issue but again most of the CG's are booking out quickly.
Most {perhaps all} of the state is now under a Stage 1 fire restriction, no open fires, charcoal etc but propane stove and fire pits are permitted.

Yep! IMO, the area is stunningly gorgeous, but, as you say, if you are in an RV, you need to be "OUT OF THERE" by the middle of May. (too hot) We stayed at Dead Horse Campground several times through the mid/late spring and found the facilities/area/people to be wonderful. I could not recommend them more highly. It's close to stores, facilities, fuel, fishing, recreation, etc., but, not too close.
It doesn't have the "little bit stuffy" attitude towards RV's as Sedona.
