*** Grab a $10 discount with promo code TGU8QDFW *** A perfect location to camp and experience all the adventures the area has to offer. Ideal for anything from ATV and jeep trips to Crown King, camping, hunting in nearby public lands, visiting the area's mining and native history, or just to spend some quality time in the Sonoran Desert. This private pad is large enough for a few RVs and all the toys. 4WD vehicles are highly recommended, and mandatory during poor weather or when pulling a trailer. The 12 miles of dirt roads get heavy traffic and are usually in poor condition with extensive washboard and rocks, requiring slow driving and extra attention. Winters at this 2600 foot elevation can bring a few inches of snow. Summers put on the seasonal monsoon show, Spring and Fall are always enjoyable with cooler nights, often even chilly. There are the usual desert critters to beware of: bark scorpions, rattlesnakes of all kinds, mountain lions on the prowl, and some poisonous spiders. Other abundant wildlife is also present: foxes, skunks, javelina, bobcats, mule deer, ringtail cats, raccoons, coyotes, and many kinds of birds. You'll likely also see herds of wild burros and some cattle grazing nearby, they tend to leave droppings everywhere. Target practice is common in the area and even allowed at this site. There is a large stone firepit for guest campfires, firewood may be provided but not guaranteed. A large trash can is available on site for guests, please use it. There is no water available at or near the site, you will need to bring all the water and supplies you require during your stay. The nearest services are along Lake Pleasant Pkwy. off Highway 74 and four miles further south at Happy Valley Rd. Another large shopping area is at Highway 74 and I-17. This area was populated before Phoenix existed, complete with a school and postal service. For more info, look up the towns of Humbug and Columbia at www.apcrp.org

OMG, just 20 minutes from downtown Prescott, but feeling like you're camping in an old boatyard? Cool. Book it now! Sorry, I just got excited thinking about it. Okay, here's the description. You drive through an older residential neighborhood, and when you arrive on-site—yay!—you're greeted by views of the Prescott Dells. Pull on your boots and hike across the meadow to the lake. From there, keep exploring, knowing you have a cozy campsite to return to. Feel free to hang out under the boatyard awning and check out the old wooden rowboat and vintage tools. We're in the process of building a treehouse and expanding your options, but for now, just relax and enjoy. The back door to the tiny house is open for you to use the toilet and/or shower. We wanted to offer bathroom access, but please keep in mind that it's not quite finished aesthetically. It works, though—and there's hot water too!
