Great BOONDOCKING campsite! Only 5 miles west of Winslow, Arizona. About 3.5 Miles North of I-40 at the Meteor City Rd. Exit. The dirt road that runs north from the I-40 exit is relatively flat. I drove to the property in a low 2 wheel drive car with no problem. So a large RV should have no problem getting to the camp. Rainfall is very minimal. 79 acres sitting at 4900 foot high desert elevation. Stargaze with only light from your campfire. Distant mountain views (West) towards Flagstaff. The property is completely natural/primitive with natural scrub and tumbleweeds. Beautiful shallow canyons run North to South. The property can be windy, so I just used my car as a windbreak. There are scatter rocks for a fire ring and sage scrub that burns good and hot on property, very little fire danger due to the terrain. One of the largest Meteors hit the Earth millions of years ago; only 12 miles from this primitive/ natural camp!! Yes there are pieces of that meteor, if you look real hard you might see them on property. If you need to wash clothes, take showers, purchase food and drink, get gas; the Navajo Blue Travel Plaza is just 12 miles West on I-40. Meteor Crater Exit is only 3 miles West down I-40 with Gas station. Rest Area is 2 miles West on I-40 also. The Two Guns exit is only 4 miles West on I-40 with some old trading post ruins and a river! Meteor Crater National Landmark is literally 12 miles Southwest (as the Raven flies). Twin Arrows Casino is only a 16 minute drive from this camp site, West on I-40 (entertainment and great food). Petrified Forest National Park is 35 miles East on I-40. Walnut National Monument is 36 miles West. Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument is 46 miles West on I-40 then North on 89. There are several old Navajo and Indian Ruins and early 1900s settlement ruins within a 40 minute drive. God Speed, Have Fun and Be Careful!Pitch your tent or park your RV and boondock! 79 acres sitting at 4900 foot elevation. Distant mountain views (West) towards Flagstaff. The property is completely natural / primitive with natural scrub and tumbleweeds. Beautiful shallow canyons run North to South. Dirt road is easy to drive. Enjoy complete peace and quiet, and no close neighbors. 3.6 miles North, from the I-40 Meteor City Rd exit. Book/ Pay, and then you are welcome to show up at any time! Once you book then you will get detailed directions and instructions. Meteor Crater National Landmark is 12 miles southwest. Petrified Forest National Park is 35 miles East on I-40.

Amazing views! The off-road portion of the drive was a lot longer than an anticipated, but accurately described. I could see coming back for a more extended stay!

This is a really beautiful, unique campsite! It feels like being in a different world, with red sand and desert life all around. It's very private and quiet, far from the highway but easy to get to. The views are amazing, seeming to go on forever with mountains in the distance. I definitely recommend staying here!

Richard's land was great to camp on. It was very isolated and far enough from the freeway. The directions were clear enough, but I never did see the round sign posting his property that he pictured in his instructions, and i had to go through a gate right off the freeway that wasn't mentioned either. But it was clear that I was on his property as long as I stayed within the barbed wire fencing as he described. Overall, I enjoyed a peaceful site with no one around for miles.
