The best camping in Arizona with campfires

Name: Arizona
Address: Arizona
Rating: 4.656000000000001

Arizona is full of natural wonders, from the Grand Canyon to Saguaro National Park, with ample outdoor fun ranging from mountain biking to horseback riding. Much of the state is occupied by the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts, but start exploring and you'll quickly discover that Arizona is more than just jackrabbits and cacti—there are lakes, rivers, mountains, forests, and miles of hiking trails. It's also a great place for sleeping under the stars, and while parts of Arizona can get a bit too hot for comfort in summer, those same places offer pleasant camping weather throughout much of the year.

First day of my campsite I start with 2 campsites then I built 1 more campsite. I then made fire pit an after that I built an outhouse its a restroom so of the guest don't know what an outhouse is we tell them it doesn't take no water to flush.

Flagstaff, AZ · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

We offer a RURAL, rustic camping experience. Our property is off-grid thus we cannot offer you any sort of facilities or services at this time & your cell may not be 100% useful. We chose Outpost in our name because we believe it provides an accurate description: a remote, isolated station, settlement, or camp located at a distance from the main body. Our property is 7.4 miles down a dirt Indian Route through a significant wash and while 4 wheel drive is ideal, you can make it in nice weather conditions without 4 wheel drive. Keith’s sister made it in her Chevrolet Sonic, for example. Large RVs may scrape along the way; we did with our 40' fifth wheel. Our 60 acre property offers a unique experience for those looking for a place to unplug and explore with plenty of privacy and room to roam. You'll enjoy incredible views of the Painted Desert, Gray Mountain, and the San Francisco peaks. The night skies will be unlike anything you’ve seen unless you have been in the middle of the ocean with no light pollution. Some important things to note about our property: Our property will always and forever be a Safe Place for all people. We hold no prejudices regardless of race, ethnicity, or creeds. Our guests will always be respected, loved and welcome and it must be that way with other guests. We are a clothing optional campground, which means you may be naked on our property. We are pet-friendly. We have two medium size puppies. Let's ensure our furry friends have as much fun as we are having by keeping them on a leash and we clean up after them. We also wouldn't want them to chase away the wild mustangs, which are beautiful to see in full gallop. NOTICE: As a desert location you may encounter wildlife (nice and not so nice) while on the property hiking around. We have seen pacific gopher snakes, non-venomous snake that eats rodents and has similar markings to rattlesnakes, which are also present. A triangle head means venomous. Listen carefully while hiking around. Distances to points of interest: We are located 50 miles (1 hour) northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. 13 miles to Cameron, Arizona (Navajo Nation) 37 miles to Wupatki National Monument. 38 miles to Tuba City, Arizona (Navajo Nation) 42 miles to Grand Canyon National Park (south rim).

Gary and Daren thought of everything and were fun to talk to. This place was more than we expected. They have created a beautiful oasis--or sacred spring, if you will. We cannot wait to return one day for a longer stay. Very close to Montezuma Well and Castle. As well as a short drice to Sedona, if you're looking to be near.

3 nights at Sacred Springs-Private creek access

We booked Sacred Springs as a basecamp for exploring Sedona, but quickly found ourselves eager to return to camp as much as any adventure. Gary and Daren have created something truly special. Every detail feels intentional—from the spotless facilities and beautifully maintained grounds to the well-stocked community room with cookware, spices, oils, and other essentials—their guests’ comfort is clearly at the heart of everything they do. The amenities exceeded our expectations: fresh eggs from the chicken coop, a running toilet, rainfall and solar showers, paddleboards, kayaks, floaties, private creek access, and a peaceful walking path. Everything was clean, organized, and welcoming. The creek is a hidden oasis, and some of our favorite moments of the trip were spent swimming, paddling, floating, or simply relaxing by the water. Gary's hospitality is exceptional, striking the perfect balance between being available and giving guests plenty of space. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience people have here. While it may be a rare sighting to see Daren, as he’s always working behind the scenes, his presence is evident throughout the landscaping, gardens, and natural beauty of the property—Hi, Daren 👋🏻! Their strengths complement one another perfectly. Together, they've created a place that feels less like a campground and more like a labor of love. We arrived expecting a place to stay and left grateful, and we look forward to our return to Sacred Springs!

2 nights at Sacred Springs-Private creek access

I had such an amazing and magical stay here! I felt safe and welcome - Gary & Daren’s beautiful space was the perfect sanctuary for a lot of growth, stillness, and exploration. The stars were bright, the wildlife was plentiful (rabbits, hummingbirds, little lizards, fish and hawks at the creek, and even a little chicken coop - all kept their distance yet were calm; a clear sign that they are well cared for and respected). The creek’s flowing waters were a wonderful contrast to the Sedona desert red rocks (only 30 minutes away and where I’d spend my mornings hiking before spending the rest of the day exploring and resting in Sacred Springs). Gary & Daren even made sure I was set up to safely burn my old hair, which was an important ritual that lesser hosts might have looked down upon or judged. Instead, I was reassured, welcomed, and given the materials and space I needed to complete this symbolic moment. I’m so grateful! Plus, their facilities and amenities meant that I could be comfortable and clean even while in the dessert and pushing myself outside my comfort zone! I hope to be back one day and will recommend Sacred Springs and Eagle Eye to anyone coming this way. Whether you’re looking for a fun outdoors experience or a quiet, restful space to integrate a deeper internal journey, you’ll find a perfect space here!

3 nights at Ash Creek: Canyon Views & History

Absolutely mindblowing property and views. Andrew has one of the most special private campsites in Arizona, and the pictures and other reviews don’t do it justice. I know I’ll be up there monthly at the least. Thank you!

Arizona camping guide

Where to go

Northern Arizona

While northern Arizona's best-known attraction is the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, there’s plenty more to see and do, from visiting Lake Powell on the Colorado River to backcountry tent camping among the ponderosa pines in the Coconino National Forest, Prescott National Forest, and Kaibab National Forest. Sedona, just south of Flagstaff, also makes a great base for hiking among Arizona's Red Rocks or swimming in Oak Creek Canyon’s Slide Rock State Park.

Western Arizona

Dubbed Arizona's "West Coast," this part of the state offers all sorts of outdoor activities, much of which revolve around the Colorado River. The town of Yuma near the southern border is a popular spot, featuring an old Wild West prison and serving as a good base for visiting the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. Attractions further north include Lake Havasu State Park, where you can swim, camp, or even check out the 19th-century London Bridge. Further north, the massive Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers year-round camping and easy access to two lakes.

Central Arizona

While it's easy to associate central Arizona with Phoenix sprawl, this region offers a lot for outdoorsy types, all within a short drive of the city. Popular spots for outdoors lovers include the Superstition Mountains in the Tonto National Forest, Lost Dutchman State Park, and the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. If you're interested in archaeology, the Montezuma Castle National Monument is also worth a visit.

Southern Arizona

Southern Arizona is full of Wild West spirit, with a mix of historic ghost towns and scenic desert landscapes, plus plenty of forests, particularly in the Chiricahua Mountains. Must-visit parks include Saguaro National Park and Catalina State Park—both just outside Tucson. If it gets too hot, make like a local and head to Patagonia Lake State Park, a prime spot to swim and cool off from the Arizona heat.
