Richard's property is eclectic and fun to wander. He met Mr a the gate and I was immediately introduced to two wonderful livestock dogs. Once we met, they were my friends and guardians as I wandered the property. Richard is the kindest man and shared lots of stories. The property is full of fun art from past burning man ventures. I think this guy could build anything you could imagine. There are goats, ducks, and a green house where he grows good own vegetables. He and a friend are planning on growling micro greens in a contraption they built. This spot was a lot of fun and the perfect place to spend time and relax.
If you are not into being in a chill atmosphere, animals and some duck poop, them stay clear. But if you want to experience a fun piece of property then this is the place. Make sure you get to know Richard and ask for a tour. You won't regret the experience.

Nani was a remarkable host. Her land is quiet, clean and very pretty. She took the time to drive and meet us and escorted us to her campground. Each spot has a fire pit, picnic table and pad for tents. A really cute outhouse is in between the sites. She has built everything herself, which is quite impressive. She's a carpenter.
I do want to note that it is a 9.5 mile drive down a non paved road. It is very ruddy and washboard. We've been boondocking for 7 years and have been on some challenging roads. But, if you are somewhat inexperienced or have a vehicle that isn't equipped for it, you should be aware before attempting. However, it was definitely worth the stay. Beautiful property, very kind hostess and super quiet.

Our time at Richards land was a great experience. The art around the property was really cool to look at, the tent sites were all flat and spaced out well, and we even got to use his fire pit to have a bonfire. There were ducks, a turkey, the friendly yard dog, and even goats so it felt like a little farm experience. The host was very accommodating with everything we needed and I felt comfortable bringing my two children there. As we left, he even showed us around his greenhouse and sent us in our way with peppers, basil, green onion, and carrots. We really enjoyed our one night here.

Nani is just an incredible person all around, we absolutely loved meeting her and chatting. My wife and I cherished our stay at Lancelot, you can tell that Nani’s heart and soul went into setting up and maintaining this beautiful campground. If you are looking for the perfect place to relax in seclusion while enjoying the out of this world stargazing, this is the spot to do it. We will absolutely be back.

Very interesting place to camp! It’s on a farm with lots of animals and art. We got to feed the goats! The host was cool and sat and talked with us for a bit and even offered some duck eggs for breakfast. The site itself was very chill and pretty private. It’s down next to the river so it was a good 5-10 degrees cooler and it was all very shaded. We had some trees to set up hammocks. Bring bug spray! I would definitely recommend this spot!

I truly enjoyed this trip! I went in went an open mind and it was just as I had hoped for. I loved holding the beautiful animals and seeing the wonderful art Richard and his friends have created. Richard and his friends are such kind people and very talented! I felt so welcome and would highly recommend to those who enjoy a hippie life style with animals! The heat was rough at night but it cooled down around 11 pm and was great. Bring bug spray!!

This spot offers great views and very quiet. If it is a clear night great for star gazing. Howard is super responsive and even provides some firewood. Although it is a bit to dry now and there is a fire ban.

Richard is a generous and kind host, as is his tenant/assistant. The entry into the property is a bit off putting, but the sites are well maintained. It’s like camping in a grove and very lovely. Richard has two huge livestock guardians dogs that look very intimidating, but are both lovely creatures. The older would lay outside our door like she was guarding it. It is a very quiet location.

We loved staying on the art farm!!! Art installations + active farm ? Count me in! This lovely property is full of imagination, personality and love—- my favorite was the jaguar sculpture next to our site. I especially loved the ducks, goat babies, and dogs. Zorro is a total snuggler! It was super nice to have a safe place for a few days. Boondockers paradise. I also loved the swing in the trees. Close to Jerome, cottonwood ands great jumping off point for all our adventures without all the off-roading. Thanks for the amazing hospitality and keep the spark alive !

We absolutely loved staying on the art farm !!! Art installations with a farm twist? Count me in. Lovely quirky property full of personality, imagination and love- my favorite creation was the Jaguar right next to our site. It was so nice to have a safe place as well for a few days in a row. I especially loved the ducks and goats and dogs. Zorro is a total ham. Shade a swing in the trees made it extra cozy. Boondockers paradise. Close to Jerome, Cottonwood and a great jumping off point for adventures without all the off-roading. Thanks for the amazing hospitality Richard! Keep the spark alive.

This camp site was the perfect stop on our cross country adventure. It was so peaceful and quiet out in the free range wide openness of Arizona. Nani was an awesome host. She made sure we found the place with no problems and thought of all the little touches to make the stay magical. Her labor of love truly shines through at Lancelot and I hope it continues to thrive and prosper. We will definitely be back next time we travel out this way.

Richard was absolutely lovely! From the second we pulled in he was helpful and friendly. He offered us a full tour of his space and the chance to meet all the animals. He even offered us food or to take some duck eggs with us in the morning. The camping area was such a cool space filled with metal pyrotechnic sculptures and a creative energy. Richard is quite the artist and we are greatful to have been able to stay and meet him.
