Meadview Arizona was founded in 1826 by Jedediah Smith on his Southwest Expedition in search for Beaver! Staying a small remote and quiet town it can feel like it would have in the Wild West.
We obtained our campground from a couple that owned it for 20 years but just weren't able to do to it what they had originally planned.. So it was essentially a blank canvas for us to create!! We are the closest town to the Grand Canyon SKYWALK, which is just 40 minutes from us. Meadview, the town we are located, is the only place to obtain Free Entree to the Lake Mead Recreational Center. Our Campground just 10 miles from Lake Mead and 17 Miles from the Colorado River. We have outstanding Lookouts, Top notch Stargazing, Gold Prospecting, Bird Watching, Fishing, Off Roading etc.
Some of the Best Desert Off-Roading through trails within the Joshua Tree National Forest, Please note you must bring your own OHV, horse, etc, there is currently no rentals available. We do have Kayaks to rent upon arrival. There is a hidden water fall in the Grapevine Wash that you can get to with a 4 wheel vehicle and you hike in about 15 minutes in. Stunning views and gorgeous natural spring and waterfall.

It’s time to get wild in the wild west! Head into the red rocks, pines, deserts, and canyons and sink your soul into some vast and untrammelled land that is beyond amazing. Kaibab National Forest has got what you need for a Northern Arizona getaway no matter what you are looking for. With three distinct areas: Williams, Tusayan, and North Kaibab, this diverse place will leave you with a perma-smile and a wild streak you didn’t know you had. Also, wait for it...this forest borders both the north and south side of Grand Canyon National Park! For all the epicness that the Grand Canyon offers (some of the trails actually follow the rim of the canyon!) without the tourists and crowds, come here and feel like you hit the jackpot. There’s really no other way to say it. You just gotta see it for yourself!

Our host went above and beyond to make everything about this experience amazing. The stay was so soulful. We took the opportunity for river kayaking, and it was made so easy with our hosts help. We were blessed to be able take the time to spend a quiet day painting rocks and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. A few nights under the stars on the loft deck were the reset we needed. Can’t boast more about this stay. Highly recommend all of it.

A very peaceful stay away from the busy city! Jason's helpfulness of what we could do in the area was very much appreciated. It was the best to have a place to stay with two little kids where we didn't have to worry that their busy feet were annoying anyone below us in a hotel. It was an added bonus to be able to bring our dog.

We created some very special memories staying at Jason's cabin and meeting Jason! The nature that surrounds the cabin is stunning and is a great getaway. We used hot bubbly Jacuzzi under a beautiful sky after our long hike. We all loved climbing up on the loft just to chill and observe beautiful sky and feel some fresh air. Jason welcomed us so kindly and made us feel home. The cabin and Jason's hospitality is so special and something that is hard to find elsewhere. We highly recommend! Thank you so much Jason! We will be back!

WE LOVED OUR STAY. The host was super helpful and had countless suggestions on places to check out. The river was beautiful! We plan to come back again and explore. This town is soooo underrated. It feels like we know about a secret place and it’s only 1.5-2 hours from the Phoenix Valley. The “cabin” was small and basic. No frills but we felt safe, had WiFi, clean place to cook, shower and sleep.

We absolutely loved these cabins! Jason was amazing! The hot tub was hot and felt great! Pet friendly and our dogs found so many bones! Trees provided so much shade. Comfy beds and futon. If your over 30 I wouldn't suggest sleeping in the loft if you've been drinking lol. Could use some games and a microwave but honestly was the time of our life! It was a staycation for us as we live in cornville but such a great get away. Will definitely book again.jason was the shit!!!!

We loved these cabins! Super cozy, comfortable & pleasant. The kids enjoyed playing in the Jacuzzi and Jason was very hospitable and knowledgeable of the area, providing details and pins to guide us to great spots by the river that were perfect for even my mom to access. Paddle board rocked and the stars were amazing as well. Beautiful place, will most definitely be back!

Except hidden gem. It’s off the beaten path but well worth it with the hospitality and information Jason provides. Minutes from the relaxing river and close enough to the city for fast food if you get carried away with the day. Should recommend highly for getaways. Dog friendly as well

We just celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and it was amazing. The gas oven works wonderfully- a full fridge is also available for those that are packing to picnic like us! The bed offered in the loft is so comfy and clean with a bunch of pillows and blankets! Can’t forget the deck! We played dominos on the deck upstairs under the stars. The little community Jason has is so peaceful and beautiful! We also got the swimming hole excursion and it was so worth it! Jason is super knowledgeable on this area (and a bunch others) and picked out the best little water oasis for us to go to. Will definitely be back!❤️

We had the best time at Crystal Loft Cabin! Jason was an incredible host offering all the tips you could need on everything from places to eat, hike, kayak, bike, live music, etc. He even came to pick up my friend and I at the end of kayaking on the verde river! Crystal Loft is a perfect space 17 minutes outside of downtown Cottonwood, and 40 or so from Sedona with amazing star views, and all the amenities you could need. It was mid 80’s-low 90’s when there, but cooled off perfectly in the evenings, and Jason had an AC unit and fan that kept the cabin perfect temp. The bed on the upstairs loft was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot- so glad we found it. Thanks Jason!
