Hawks Hideaway Camping, LLC

17 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents7 acres ¡ Cottonwood, AZ
We offer various camping accommodations, as well as a teepee. See our different listings for info on each. A few choice examples of local activities to do on or very near to our campsite include: Bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, stargazing, and even rockhounding. This area conforms to the Arizona Dark Sky initiative, and while we are not dark-sky certified, we've had several guests compliment us on our location. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study.  The cliff walls of the Verde River offer clear and distinct sedimentary layers, and the frequent flooding of the massive sandy riverbed reveals countless undiscovered treasures.We gladly welcome pets, including horses, as long as the guests inform us of their presence, and takes care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess. There is a professional horse-boarding field and stables adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders to follow the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood if they so desire. Please remember that this is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde Ripparian Greenway and the Verde River. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects.

The best camping near Walnut Canyon National Monument guide

Overview

About

Slightly off the beaten path near Flagstaff sits a cliff that once housed families belonging to the Sinagua tribe. The cliff dwellings above Walnut Canyon give you an idea of what life would be like in this high elevation without any air conditioning or Wi-Fi. Stones and dried mud come together to form a strong structure beneath the cliff face, nearly 600 feet above the canyon floor.

Sinagua people constructed the wall to create a home in the rock face along a curving part of Walnut Canyon. You have two trails to follow here. The Rim Trail, about 3/4 of a mile, follows the upper part of the canyon and has very little elevation change. To reach the ruins, The Island Trail is 1 mile long, and you need to climb 240 steps to get in and out of the canyon. Along the way, you get to gaze upon 20 ruins leftover from this settlement.

The homes in the rock face date back to the 12th or 13th centuries as some of the oldest structures in the southwestern United States. You can almost imagine living here, with crops growing near the stream bank and some wildlife passing through. Guided hikes are a good choice here, as rangers can take you off the normal path and even up to the 1904 cabin built on the site. Bring plenty of water and good hiking shoes.

This park is only open during the day and every day except Christmas. The closest campsites are in Flagstaff, about 10 miles away.
