Ghost Owl Ranch

10mi from Alpine · 2 sites
Enjoy a peaceful treed setting among gorgeous mountain views. Wildlife sightings and close to National Forest. Close to fishing, hunting, hiking and wintertime skiing. 15 minutes away from the small town of Springerville with quaint restaurants and groceries. Friendly hosts and neighbors.
At 26 miles away and at an elevation of 6,000 feet, Lyman Lake State Park is one of the best ways to beat the Arizona heat with summer days hovering in the 80’s and 1,500 acres of water to jump into. The behemoth lake can be experienced along shoreline trails where petroglyphs grace the rocks and jackrabbits scurry through the wildflowers. But let’s be real, you came to get wet! There’s plenty of splish splashing to be had; jet skis, speed boats, canoes, and kayakers all share these waters. There’s no better way to take to the lake than skimming the surface on an innertube. Anglers can enjoy the quiet west end of Lyman, word is the walleye and bass hang here in the no wake zone.
44 miles away you have Gila National Forest. Trying to truly get away from it all?
We are 3.3 million acres of national forest, with just over 700,000 acres of that being designated wilderness areas. The nearest town,
Silver City, has a population of about 10,000.
Gila's remoteness makes it an especially popular spot for stargazing. Amateur astronomers like to journey out to Gila's 3.5-acre Cosmic Campground.
This Dark Sky Sanctuary features unobstructed, awe-inspiring 360-degree views of the heavens. There are minimal amenities here, but they
include telescope pads – made of concrete so that you can setup your
own telescopes for casual or focused study. You'll never think of space in quite the same way after seeing it from here!
Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. ON leash, please.

We arrived at this beautiful property at the end of 2023 and have since worked diligently to create a space that we and others would love. Our location boasts a stunning views with hills all around and beautiful views of both sunrise and sunsets. We're working on adding showers and hot/cold plunge tubs for your enjoyment. Notably, we have a composting toilet that efficiently turns waste into fertilizer in just 3 weeks! We have two very sweet dogs that are off leash that may come up and say hello. If that is a bother please let us know in advance and we will try and accommodate your preferences. The property is accessible using 2WD, weather permitted, and when it is muddy or snowy we offer shuttle services.
About us
I specialize in building vans and RVs, so if you need any assistance with your rigs, I'm here to help. We are planning to expand our offerings in the future to include organic coffee, food, and a variety of fun activities. Join us in this evolving adventure!

This Hipcamp was great! We got in late after dark and were pleasantly surprised by the Mountain View. It was private and secluded. Would definitely stay here again! We camped in an 18ft campervan

We absolutely loved our stay on Elena‘s land. It was so peaceful and quiet. There is so much wildlife and the meditation trail was super relaxing and inspiring with So many beautiful touches along the trail. We were able to go take a walk in the field out the back gate, and there were lots of cattle in the area that were not disturbed by us at all, and they just minded their own business. It was really awesome being able to spend some time alone and to get grounded again in a very natural environment. The views are spectacular from the countryside to the stars at night. Will definitely consider staying again in the future. Thank you.

Beautiful property. Host was very nice. Has a lodge we used the pool table. No negative comments but be prepared for the 3 mile rd to get there it will take you 30 mins it's pretty rough but worth it.

Look for the post office 👍 I absolutely loved the landscape I camped in, full of all sorts of cacti and succulents, curious ponies, sly coyotes, and vistas clouds that make you pause and wonder. The road is like a cobblestone riverbed after the turn off for the spot on the right. There is something there to mark it. Absolutely loved it and would come back with more time and do some of the provided activities like pony riding. Thanks for sharing this beautiful space with me.

Great place to feel peaceful and take some time to reflect on life. Everything is ready for a great family experience or just a get away retreat to take some walks and look at the clouds go slowly by. Its very quiet, hardly any vehicle or construction noises, just the beautiful mountains and the sun catching different angles of the countryside. Go to restore your soul 👍

The land is very peaceful, was the first time in years I was very relaxed. We stayed for a few days, brought our dogs and even they were relaxed, must be the tranquility of the land.
The only regret I have, is not staying longer, this place is a must stay location if you want to relax and get away from the day to day “hustle”.

The location is really in God's country. It is unique to the max. Finding the spot was extremely hard and Google GPS and apple gps really didn't help. The host assistant came out in his truck and guided us in. In the morning we texted him and needed some assistance to empty out the tank. He came to the site did not disturb us and the stay was AAAA . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I don't even know where to start with this review it was all so wonderful! The property is super quiet and private. We were met by Justin when we arrived and he showed us to our site. The sites are a good size and are very clean. We loved that they were gravel and not dirt or hot concrete. The sites are all adjacent to the gate that leads to an abundance of public trails for UTV riding which we did a LOT of riding.
Each site had water, electric and sewer . . . amazing! There was a dumpster for trash near the barn just a short walk or ride from the sites.
The stars at night beat all we've ever seen. It was like when we camped in Yellowstone and could see the stars for infinity. We even got to see the Starlink satellite line fly past. We all wished that we had hammocks or zero gravity chairs just so we could stare at the stars!
This property is truly gorgeous! There are bath facilities in the Retreat center that are spacious and very clean. The retreat center itself looked heavenly - we didn't explore it until our checkout but I believe we missed out. The porch alone would be awesome with a cup of coffee and one of their rockers. There was horseshoes and other recreational outdoor games that we didn't explore early enough.
Elena says that the area is God's Country and we could not agree more! We will be back many times to come! She has done a beautiful job with the property. We can't wait to see the rest of her vision come to life!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s off the beaten path - 3 miles down bumpy dirt roads that immediately make you feel like you’re one of the locals! There’s only a few spots so you feel exclusive and there’s plenty of room- no cramped spaces here. They maintain the grounds well and give you full access to the land. Pro tip: make sure to hike out and see the gulch near by! The owners are amazing- kind hearts and very accommodating. We planned to stay a couple nights but extended because we were enjoying the quiet, serene landscape and time together.
This place is a gem and deserves to be treated the same back. If you are looking for an easy to get to, giant RV park with tons of amenities like washers/dryers, showers, etc. then don’t come here. It’s not for you. Save the spot for those of us wanting to be away from the frills and more in touch with Mother Nature.
Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven with us!
