Cottonwood/Jerome
Paul,
When visiting Cottonwood, AZ we stayed at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. We recommend it. There is electricity at the sites. Restrooms/showers and grounds are clean. If you're on the upper loop the view is all the way across the valley to Jerome and Clarkdale.
A few of the things to see/do:
-Jerome is a town full of switchbacks, sitting on the side of a mountain of copper (literally). Lots of history.
(Just don't try to tow a trailer on AZ-89A through town, due to the switchbacks).
-Clarkdale: home of the Verde Canyon Railway. The Railroad was built to haul copper out of the area. More history.
-Sedona / Slide Rock is an easy day trip.
We spent several days in the area.
