Great time spent on some scenic and peaceful property! Amber was very accommodating and made the experience definitely worthwhile. It was awesome seeing all of the farm animals as well as exploring the property as there was a lot to do. I feel like one night was definitely not enough and the next time I’m out here will definitely book multiple nights!

Ash Creek is a unicorn for remote camping on the edge of the Tonto National Forest. Andrew and his son offered us a tour of the canyon and we got to see all the views and learn about the history of the mining operations. The campsite we chose was flat and clean and the clearing was surrounded but trees and steep cliffs. With no light pollution, the night sky looked amazing and the sound of the creek created a nice ambience. We brought our own firewood but there were plenty of loose branches if you prefer to forage. I wish we had booked for more time here, because there is a lot to see and do, including hikes and mine exploration. I had no issues driving around in my Subaru Outback but would recommend reaching out about road conditions beforehand since some of the paths can be narrow or washed out. I don’t get to camp often but hope to be a repeat customer at Ash Canyon.

5 nights at Gila River View
This was one of the best places we've ever stayed! The host, Amber, was incredible and made sure we had everything we needed. The area is secluded and private and we never heard any noise other than nature. We loved that it's a working cattle ranch with horses, cattle, and pigs. The animals were all friendly and never bothered us. Oh, there was a very friendly barn cat that did snuggle with us a bunch! The camper was an amazing accommodation that offered everything we needed for an indoor experience and sleeping.
The hiking opportunities are endless here! With just a 10 minute hike you can be on the top of a mountain overlooking 2 different valleys that the Gila river runs through. In about a 20-25ish minute hike you can make it from the camp clear into a hidden valley on the back side and make it right up to a secret spot next to the Gila river. We spent half a day at this spot relaxing and enjoying the weather and nature!
It's about a 10 minute drive to the nearest town for any supplies or if you want a restaurant. We only went once to get more drinking water and we were back at camp within the hour!
We will definitely stay here again! We love the place and it's less than 2 hours from our house!
A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you so much Amber! We appreciated everything you did to make our stay wonderful!

We had the BEST time camping at Ash Creek Canyon. It’s truly hard for me to find words or sum up our trip in a short paragraph. To put it simply, it feels like we only saw the tip of the iceberg as far as exploration goes in Chrysotile. We cannot wait to go back and learn and explore some more. Our stay was magical. Andy was a top-notch host, super accommodating with speedy correspondence, and truly just a pleasure to be around. His enthusiasm, love and awe for this land shined bright. He showed us around all of the land reachable via side-by-side and gave us a grand tour on the history of the abandoned mining town. There is so much to uncover there. Not only was the history fascinating, but the scenery was BEAUTIFUL… truly enchanting. We camped at site #2, Waterfall Pasture. We were perfectly secluded from other campers and felt like we had the whole area to ourselves.. which was great as we were camping with our two young daughters and three dogs (a rather loud bunch). We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway, and cannot wait to come back. THANK YOU ANDY!

Loved this secluded canyon! Met Andrew by the highway, which was already way out there, then followed him on his quad in my 21' class-B van for 3 or 4 miles to campsite #2. Dislodged my low hanging generator on the rough road, but I knew it was a risk. Well worth it. This property had absolutely no noise or light pollution. It was an old mining town with several old mines still open to explore. I had an unforgettable few days secluded on this property. Zero cellular coverage with Verizon and Wi-Fi wasn't on while I was there. I thoroughly enjoyed my unplugged time. I will definitely be returning.

The tour at the start was so informative and we were able to find and explore all the places Andrew talked about. We spent quite a bit of time in Victory mine, found the underground waterfall, and hiked back to the swimming hole. He described the swimming hole as 'fairytale', and it truly was. We camped on the most beautiful site with amazing views of the canyon and towering bluffs. It was full moon and the site of that moon rising over the bluffs was breathtaking. This is truly one of the most beautiful, untouched places we have ever been and we hope to be back again someday.

This was a last-minute booking, and we’re so glad we chose Andrew’s place. He is a fantastic host who takes great pride in his land, his guests, and the history of what was once a thriving old mining town. Chrysotile is a stunning area with rich history, and our experience exceeded all expectations. We stayed at Site #1, which felt perfectly secluded for us. During our stay, we encountered an incredible variety of wildlife, including birds, deer, a skunk, and even a golden eagle.
A highlight of the trip was a tour of one of the mines led by Chad, Andrew's caretaker—it was truly special. Our campsite was next to a running creek, where we spent most of our time relaxing, and we ended our days by driving to a plateau to witness breathtaking sunsets. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to any of the waterfalls on the property, but there’s always next time.
Andrew is putting so much effort into maintaining and sharing the beauty of this special place, and it shows. Just remember to pack light and take responsibility for packing out your waste to help preserve the canyon. If you’re looking for peace, solitude, and the chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect spot. Huge thanks to Andrew and Chad for being such wonderful hosts!

Ash Creek Canyon is a true hidden gem! As you dive into the rugged terrain of the canyon, a whole other world opens up. You can enjoy the tranquility of your own campsite or explore the old mine town that is spread out through the canyon.
A big shout-out goes to Chad. He’s such a genuine and thoughtful guy, who took us on a little tour, while explaining the history of the different buildings and showing us the true beauty of the canyon.
We’ll definitely be back!

Ash Creek Canyon is so much more than a place to camp—it's land waiting to be explored. Our stay at Campsite 2 was incredible! The site itself was spacious, private, and tucked right into the beauty of the canyon. Waking up surrounded by towering cliffs and the sounds of nature was truly magical.
But what really set this experience apart was the hidden history woven into the land. From old mines and hand-dug caves to swimming holes and trails, every corner holds a story—and Andrew, our host, brought it all to life! He was absolutely fantastic. His tour of the property wasn’t just informative—it was adventurous and fun, even for our big family of 7. The kids were in awe the entire time, and so were we.
We climbed, hiked, swam, and explored for hours. It was the kind of trip where memories are made and retold for years.
💯 Highly recommend Ash Creek Canyon to anyone looking for a mix of camping, history, and wild fun. There's something here for everyone—and yes, we’re already planning our next visit!

Everything was amazing!!! Andrew was friendly and very helpful. There’s a lot of history in the camp spot. With a few mines to explore. Would definitely recommend for an adventure. If going make sure to have a truck or high rise vehicle. You are driving down into a cannon. Lots of rocks.

This is a great place off the grid to camp. The stars and moon are so bright at night. Ample room to set up camp with no neighbors (literally). Bring everything you need and stop in Globe before you head to camp for last min things. Highly recommend 4 wheel drive or high profile cars and go slow. The roads are rough indeed.

This Hipcamp site was amazing with a small running creek! The site is pretty remote with a 3 mile, steep dirt road. I was able to make it in my 20ft camper van but I wish I had 4x4 for the trip. The camp host was amazing and helped me down the road and gave me firewood too. My pups loved being off leash and we loved being visited by a random cow.

Ash Creek Canyon was everything we needed and more. The campsite was secluded and quiet. The bubbling of the creek at night was beautiful, and the water was low. I can only imagine how nice it will be after the rains. We didn't meet Andrew the elder, but the younger was knowledgeable and helpful, as was Ryan an employee we accidentally disturbed with questions.
We had several furry visitors, our favorite was 2104 a gentle bull that gazed near the site while we were there.
Tips:
The roads are largely ungraded, so you definitely need 4 wheel drive. I would not recommend a low car. We were in an SUV and had no problems.
You will drive on a one lane road with a cliff to one side. Even if you're nervous, it is worth it at the end.
Visit the town. It is interesting and I hope to go back once more is restored.
The hike to the swimming hole isn't bad, but it is worth it.
Ask Andrew where the moonshine is! I didn't and I regret it!
