Ash Creek Canyon is more than a place to camp — it’s a hidden world reopened after nearly a century of quiet. Tucked within the Tonto National Forest, this privately owned canyon and historic mining town have remained untouched by the public since 1945. Today, the gates are open once again, inviting adventurers to experience one of Arizona’s most pristine and biologically rich landscapes.
Here, towering canyon walls cradle lush greenery, native wildlife, and the gentle flow of Ash Creek as it winds through the valley. Scenic campsites sit along the water’s edge, offering peaceful views and direct access to hiking trails that lead through diverse ecosystems recognized by Arizona Fish & Game for their exceptional biodiversity.
At the heart of the canyon lies Chrysotile, a long‑forgotten mining town frozen in time. Its remnants add a sense of mystery and history to your stay — a rare chance to explore a piece of Arizona’s past in a setting few have ever seen.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or experiencing the outdoors for the first time, Ash Creek Canyon offers a blend of tranquility, adventure, and discovery. Set up your tent beneath star‑filled skies, wander through untouched wilderness, or simply relax beside the creek as the canyon walls glow at sunset.
This is nature at its most authentic — a place where adventure meets peace, and where every visit becomes a story worth telling.

Show Low was named by the turn of a Card. A ranch of nearly 100,000 acres jointly owned by Marion Clark and Croydon Cooley a U.S. army scout. According to legend, sometime around 1876, the partners decided that there was not enough room for both of them
and one of them should leave. They decided to settle this issue over a game of "Seven Up" (with the winner taking the ranch and the loser leaving.) After the game seemed to have no winner in sight the game reached it's climax when
Clark said, "If you can show low, you win." At this point
Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs, and declared "Show Low" it is! Show Low
is a city in Navajo County, Arizona
among the lush green ponderosa pine forestland and along Arizona's Mogollon Rim at an elevation of 6,345 feet. Show Low is now the largest city in the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. Show Low is also the business hub and marketing center of the area.

A pretty special place to camp among the junipers and pinion pines on top of Howard Mesa. Enjoy amazing distant views by day, unbelievable night skies, and gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. You can also take in awesome views of the peaks to the east and even see the north wall of the Grand Canyon from the property.
There are currently three secluded camp spots, each hundreds of feet away from the other. No services are currently provided other than a designated stone firepit at each site, campers must bring everything they need and leave no trace. Please use the guest trash can located at the main gate. Normally accessible by any passenger vehicle, but significant rain may create enough mud to require 4WD.
The property is exceptionally quiet and clean, far away from city noise and pollution. It sits on the border of the Kaibab National Forest, where guests can walk through untouched old-growth forest. Numerous elk visit the mesa in late summer, mule deer are common, and there's lots of other wildlife to see.
This is a peaceful place to camp away from everything and still be able to visit numerous nearby attractions of every kind.
Coming soon: each campsite is getting it's own clean outhouse and a picnic table under a ramada, plus other improvements as budget allows.

Tucson, AZ · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Laura and Bruce are good/kind people. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog, River, and I were taken care of during the flood warning and heavy winds. If our travels bring us this way again, we would happily stay again. If you're traveling solo, you will feel very safe on their property.

Wonderful open and clean desert camping space technically in Williams, but closer to Valle... Which means closer to the Grand Canyon (35 minutes?)!
Great jumping point to Sedona, Flagstaff, Williams and Jerome as well.
The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful and if it weren't for the full moon the skies would have been incredible at night . We felt safe and isolated at the same time and only saw 3 vehicles in our 5 day stay.
The roads in are rough, so go slow, if wet they are very slick as well a higher clearance vehicle is recommended.
Use the GPS coordinates for best results, there is a log with colored tape near the entrance and a red shack diagonally across from the site now.
The market at the Bedrock RV is great as well as the rock shop nearby. Safeway in Williams has everything else you might need and is only 35 minutes away.
Although Luis was not available in the area he was a responsive and great host.

We had such a great time at the camp. Lovely hosts, nice and big area. Everything what we could need for a stay with a toddler. Nice to have an opportiunity to see the farm animals. This is one of those places which you call cute and magical and you wanna come back.

This spot couldn't have been more perfect. As a female traveling solo I felt very safe and also remote which is the perfect combination I'm always on the hunt for. Laura was so welcoming and the area is gorgeous and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Absolutely excellent experience. Friendly and generous host, beautiful location, everything you'd hope a Hipcamp would be. I would love to tell you it was horrible so I could have it all to myself but I'd be lying.

Laura's campsite is charming and beautiful. Our stay was short but lovely. A great place for stargazing!
Thank you for hosting us!

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends, and we all had a wonderful time exploring the site’s creeks, historical buildings, and diverse views! The only thing I will add is if you have a sedan you will not be able to cross the creek. No worries, however, the hosts helped us along the way. We will definitely be back, and I recommend this for any campers who want a beautiful night sky and property!

Quiet farm-like site, with Juniper trees all around. Amazing goats. Generous hosts. Night sky good for astronomy buffs.

This hip camp is more than just a site off the I-17. Sacred Springs is whimsical, peaceful and healing. The solar shower, the private creek access, the chicken coop, the genuine hospitality, and everything in between….so pure. A big piece of my self-care as a mental health professional is connecting with the outdoors to recharge. At the end of my stay, I can wholeheartedly say that I am ready to journey back into my field. Sacred Springs will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you, Gary and Daren, for allowing me to be in your healing space. 🏕️🕊️🌞
