Pitch your tent or park your camper among towering Saguaros with stunning mountain views in every direction. Bring your camera or your horses! This is the perfect spot for relaxing, stargazing, and soaking in those famous Arizona sunsets. You’ll have a spacious, private campsite all to yourself—I only allow one booking at a time to ensure a peaceful and personal experience.
Please note: This is a working horse ranch, which means you'll see fencing, trailers, and occasional activity from people helping keep the ranch running. While your campsite is private, our property is just over two acres—so you'll also see neighboring homes. If you're looking for complete solitude with no sights, sounds, or smells of ranch life, I recommend dispersed camping elsewhere.
My 2.2-acre private horse ranch is home to:
• 8 rescue horses
• 2 donkeys
• 8 mini pigs and a few chickens!
…all ready to meet and greet!
Trail access? Absolutely.
Hiking and horseback riding trails lead directly from the property into Spur Cross Conservation Area—or take a short 10-minute drive to a main trailhead. Black Mountain Hiking Trail is also nearby and offers panoramic views of the valley. You can even ride your horse into town and tie up at the local cowboy bars!
⸻
A few things to note:
• The landscape varies with the season—there won’t be green grass in the summer
• Please keep pets away from cactus—they bite!
• We’re located in a desert neighborhood, so please respect the nearby homes. My house and neighbors house will be in view from your campsite.
• A horse corral (50 ft round pen) is available to rent—message me if interested!
⸻
Looking for more adventure? Lake Pleasant, Bartlett Lake, Tonto National Forest, Seven Springs, and other scenic destinations are a short drive away. Need supplies? Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and more are just 10 minutes down the road. Want to explore a truly unique cowboy town? Cave Creek is full of Old West charm, with saloons, quirky shops, live music, and horses sharing the road with motorcycles.

Harmony Acres is a small, relaxed family farm in the high desert near the red rocks of Sedona, AZ. We love to host nature and animal loving people that want a taste of country life. Our guests often become our good friends. We have the friendliest farm animals that you can meet and greet, and you can help around the farm if you want to participate or learn.
Our sunsets and night star-gazing are just spectacular and we're enough off the beaten path that there's no crowds or traffic to deal with, but you are close to dining and area attractions.
This is a quiet, rural neighborhood and a peaceful farm that borders the National Forest for easy hiking and few neighbors. The farm animals do cluck, crow, whinny, neigh, baa, bleat, squeal, and oink at various times, including early morning.
There is one mile of a somewhat bumpy gravel road with hills to reach our neighborhood, so please make sure you are ready for that and have adequate towing power. The nearest services and dining are 5 minutes away. We are about 25-30 minutes to Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek,
and the popular red rock hiking sites. There are many wineries and dining right down the road to enjoy.
1 hour to Flagstaff, 2 hours to Phoenix.
Come enjoy a taste of rural Arizona!

Nearby activities include: bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, stargazing, and 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 beautiful skys. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study.
We gladly welcome pets, as long as you take care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess and filling in any holes. Well mannered, friendly dogs may be unleashed from time to time. Please, PLEASE watch your small pets carefully. If you're traveling with cats, please keep them on a lead.
There is a riding academy and boarding facility adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders, hikers and cyclists to travel along the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood, a pleasant 30 minute walk through lush riparian area.

Hawks Hideaway is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde River Greenway. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature.
Hawks Hideaway is next to many miles of wilderness. You may see or encounter wildlife of all kinds, most are harmless, some are dangerous. It is your responsibility to know the difference. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects.
You are responsible for your own safety and are camping here at you own risk. Please do not interact with any wild animals. If you encounter something and need help, please reach out to us. We live on the property and are readily available.

Harmony Acres is a small, relaxed family farm in the high desert near the red rocks of Sedona, AZ. We love to host nature and animal loving people that want a taste of country life. Our guests often become our good friends. We have the friendliest farm animals that you can meet and greet, and you can help around the farm if you want to participate or learn.
Our sunsets and night star-gazing are just spectacular and we're enough off the beaten path that there's no crowds or traffic to deal with, but you are close to dining and area attractions.
This is a quiet, rural neighborhood and a peaceful farm that borders the National Forest for easy hiking and few neighbors. The farm animals do cluck, crow, whinny, neigh, baa, bleat, squeal, and oink at various times, including early morning.
There is one mile of a somewhat bumpy gravel road with hills to reach our neighborhood, so please make sure you are ready for that and have adequate towing power. The nearest services and dining are 5 minutes away. We are about 25-30 minutes to Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek,
and the popular red rock hiking sites. There are many wineries and dining right down the road to enjoy.
1 hour to Flagstaff, 2 hours to Phoenix.
Come enjoy a taste of rural Arizona!

Wave goodbye to noisy generators and lights. Park your RV in a dark sky community located less than a quarter mile from the famous Verde Valley Wine Trail/Page Springs Road. Sedona is only 10 minutes away. The Village of Oak Creek and West Sedona are equally convenient, and the location lets you skip the tourist traffic!
Awaken to the sound of roosters crowing, and marvel at the Milky Way unobstructed by light pollution. Enjoy 50 amp service and water, plus the peace that comes with having no close neighbors in a noisy campground. Dump service is FREE for the first 10 guests.
One owner is a yoga and trail guide and can help you plan your ideal vacation. Ask about the additional services we offer! Of course, you can simply park and go about your holiday! :)
We can currently accommodate campers up to 32 feet. Large 5th wheels and Class A RVs are currently not supported until we widen the driveway to protect your safety. The site is relatively flat, but we are adding a concrete pad and can help you level. Feel secure leaving your home on wheels inside a fully gated property in a quiet, safe community while you explore the wonders of the Verde Valley, including Sedona.

Nearby activities include: bird watching, hiking, river rafting or tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, stargazing, and 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 beautiful skys. When it comes to rockhounding, or amateur geology, this is a fantastic area for exploration and study.
We gladly welcome pets, as long as you take care of all their needs, including cleaning up any mess and filling in any holes. Well mannered, friendly dogs may be unleashed from time to time. Please, PLEASE watch your small pets carefully. If you're traveling with cats, please keep them on a lead.
There is a riding academy and boarding facility adjacent to our property, and a long pleasant trail allows horseback riders, hikers and cyclists to travel along the Verde Greenway into Old Town Cottonwood, a pleasant 30 minute walk through lush riparian area.
Hawks Hideaway is a family owned property, occupied by a 3rd and 4th generation, mother-son team. Two generations have lived and died here before us and we are proud to be the custodians of this majestic property, full of old growth, gigantic cottonwood trees. A birdwatcher, or naturalists dream.
Hawks Hideaway is a natural and secluded spot located directly adjacent to the state-maintained Verde River Greenway. This means you may encounter wildlife and pests associated with being in such close connection to nature.
Hawks Hideaway is next to many miles of wilderness. You may see or encounter wildlife of all kinds, most are harmless, some are dangerous. It is your responsibility to know the difference. Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects.
You are responsible for your own safety and are camping here at you own risk. Please do not interact with any wild animals. If you encounter something and need help, please reach out to us. We live on the property and are readily available.

Wonderful spot near the river. Several spots, isolated by distance and trees. Some short trails for morning/evening walk. Remote feel, nicer than many Forest Service campsites, yet close to town,. Well located for exploring the Sedona area.
Some power needed getting up a short hill leaving the property - shouldn't be a problem unless you are pulling a trailer at the edge of your vehicle's ability.

Good location for mountain biking and hiking.
You don’t get to choose your spot so we had a big rig next to us that blocked some of our views of the mountains. Nice to have full hook ups and it was away from busy street noise.

Vicky made it easy to camp on her lovely piece of land. Her directions were clear, which was needed. Beware, there is a steep slope as you drop down onto the to river bottom land that holds the camp. An underpowered rig might have trouble. Each campsite felt cozy, and separate, placed 10-40 yards apart. The outhouses were very clean and we used her trash bin. The hike along the bottom land was great. We could hike to Tuzigot Historical Park. It was a very windy night, but we hardly noticed it. A great place to sleep well amidst beauty.

This is a large spot next to Gene’s property with great, easy access to the Verde River. You are in a rural neighborhood so not only do you have the river to lull you to sleep but you may hear cows, dogs and even a donkey every once in awhile. The spot is next to a road that is used by others taking advantage of the river but it is day use only so you do not get any road noise at night. There are plenty of cozy spots to pick on the property. If you have a trailer, you will need to do some leveling and backing up can be a bit tight. It is a great choice if you want to play in the Verde!

We had a great stay at Lone Cottonwood at Hawks Hideaway. Vicky was a wonderful host - friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The site was quiet, peaceful, and close to town, which made it really convenient while still feeling tucked away.
The space worked well for our setup and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s a simple, well-kept spot that does exactly what you want it to do.
We’re looking forward to coming back when the tipi is set back up!
