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.

Enjoy a peaceful treed setting among gorgeous mountain views. Wildlife sightings and close to National Forest. Close to fishing, hunting, hiking and wintertime skiing. 15 minutes away from the small town of Springerville with quaint restaurants and groceries. Friendly hosts and neighbors.
At 26 miles away and at an elevation of 6,000 feet, Lyman Lake State Park is one of the best ways to beat the Arizona heat with summer days hovering in the 80’s and 1,500 acres of water to jump into. The behemoth lake can be experienced along shoreline trails where petroglyphs grace the rocks and jackrabbits scurry through the wildflowers. But let’s be real, you came to get wet! There’s plenty of splish splashing to be had; jet skis, speed boats, canoes, and kayakers all share these waters. There’s no better way to take to the lake than skimming the surface on an innertube. Anglers can enjoy the quiet west end of Lyman, word is the walleye and bass hang here in the no wake zone.
44 miles away you have Gila National Forest. Trying to truly get away from it all?
We are 3.3 million acres of national forest, with just over 700,000 acres of that being designated wilderness areas. The nearest town,
Silver City, has a population of about 10,000.
Gila's remoteness makes it an especially popular spot for stargazing. Amateur astronomers like to journey out to Gila's 3.5-acre Cosmic Campground.
This Dark Sky Sanctuary features unobstructed, awe-inspiring 360-degree views of the heavens. There are minimal amenities here, but they
include telescope pads – made of concrete so that you can setup your
own telescopes for casual or focused study. You'll never think of space in quite the same way after seeing it from here!
Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. ON leash, please.

This Hipcamp was great! We got in late after dark and were pleasantly surprised by the Mountain View. It was private and secluded. Would definitely stay here again! We camped in an 18ft campervan

We absolutely loved our stay on Elena‘s land. It was so peaceful and quiet. There is so much wildlife and the meditation trail was super relaxing and inspiring with So many beautiful touches along the trail. We were able to go take a walk in the field out the back gate, and there were lots of cattle in the area that were not disturbed by us at all, and they just minded their own business. It was really awesome being able to spend some time alone and to get grounded again in a very natural environment. The views are spectacular from the countryside to the stars at night. Will definitely consider staying again in the future. Thank you.

When we arrived and got settled, we were quickly comfortable and happy with our surroundings!!! It’s such an enchanting, peaceful, kind environment. I believe that anyone that comes to stay will enjoy the beauty and nature as we did!
The animals were an amazing bonus!
Sara and Jim are very kind and helpful people, and we can’t say enough about their hospitality!
We will definitely return and enjoy another stay!

Beautiful property. Host was very nice. Has a lodge we used the pool table. No negative comments but be prepared for the 3 mile rd to get there it will take you 30 mins it's pretty rough but worth it.

Getting here was a little weird because the directions assumed you were coming from a certain direction. Easy to get turned around. There are 3 sites with electric. Sites 1 and 2 are alongside the brewery. Site 3 sits behind the brewery sort of amongst the debris of a business. Not scenic at all. The boondock sites looked better, but AZ in summer you have to have AC. The brewery and brew was great!

Sites are level. Easy access. Plenty of room. Brewery affordable and fun due to live music. Brewery closes at 9:00pm so no late night noise. Staff is very friendly. Owner responsive to texts. Super clean and quiet. It’s a great star watching place due to dark skies. 12 min from downtown Show Low. 30 min from Lakeside. Not in the Pine Tree area but rather in Junipers. We Highly recommend.

Love, love this experience! First time camping with my two donkeys! Sara is awesome and so very helpful! My granddaughters were able to just wander the property safely, sometimes riding and others hiking. The setup is perfect and easy with the corral right in camp. We had electric and wonderful water right there! The ranch is fantastic and other guests friendly and helpful. We will definitely return!

Richard and his lovely wife were the most wonderful hosts. The site was clean. Instructions were clear. Electric, water, and sewer hookup were all fabulous. The RV site has a gentle slope but my levelers fixed that up no problem. We also had the treat of garden fresh lettuce for our tacos and burgers from these generous hosts! I loved visiting the chickens, goats, and rabbits everyday. Walking the dogs at night was a special treat because it is so dark and quiet in their neighborhood. We could see the milky way! I have another trip to the area in a month and will definitely be looking at this site. My only regret is not having enough time to chat more with Richard and his sweet wife. Hopefully next time!

Fabulous tucked away spot! It’s a great location between showlow and Taylor. Made going into town easy and quick both ways. Mike was fabulous with getting us info. We enjoyed not feeling like we were in a traditional RV area…there is space and you are not right next to someone else. Will stay here again for sure!

Look for the post office 👍 I absolutely loved the landscape I camped in, full of all sorts of cacti and succulents, curious ponies, sly coyotes, and vistas clouds that make you pause and wonder. The road is like a cobblestone riverbed after the turn off for the spot on the right. There is something there to mark it. Absolutely loved it and would come back with more time and do some of the provided activities like pony riding. Thanks for sharing this beautiful space with me.

Great place to feel peaceful and take some time to reflect on life. Everything is ready for a great family experience or just a get away retreat to take some walks and look at the clouds go slowly by. Its very quiet, hardly any vehicle or construction noises, just the beautiful mountains and the sun catching different angles of the countryside. Go to restore your soul 👍

I liked it. I will come back again.
I especially liked their disbursed camping spaces. Spend out big spaces (big enough for my big-rig. The grounds were perfectly level and very clean. The "trees" were large junipers but trimmed to a single trunk and high so you could walk through them and see for some distance. There were some spaces with roadside noise but after it got dark there wasn't any traffic. There were clean restrooms and very strong wifi. My favorite amenity was the on-premesis bar. The "4sBARn" live music, tasty "4 Silos" microbrew (my favorite was the "Hazy Hallelujah," btw. I lucked out on Friday night and was able to join in on their weekly pool tournament. They had Diamond-brand pool tables (the best quality imo.) They had livestock and everyone always cares about fresh eggs so I can confirm they have eggs. After the first night I moved to a full hookup spot and that where the camp needs work.
I believe there are 5 hookup sites. I was in site 3. Sites 1, 2, and 3 are all along-side the main "4sBARn" building. 1 and 2 were beside it and 3 was on the backside. 4 and 5 were more remote. Though the 1st 3 sites were near the bar I wouldn't worry about noise because the bar closes early.
Site 1 and 2 could easily fit any size. My 36 ft tt had no issues with length but it was too narrow. Site 1,2,3 were convenient but poor views. The owner is currently building up the resort so they admit it is a work in progress. Future guests may have no issues.

The land is very peaceful, was the first time in years I was very relaxed. We stayed for a few days, brought our dogs and even they were relaxed, must be the tranquility of the land.
The only regret I have, is not staying longer, this place is a must stay location if you want to relax and get away from the day to day “hustle”.

Just what we needed in a pinch! Pulled in pretty late and got set up in the rain. There are no assigned lots just pick a spot and set up 👍🏾 bathrooms were great! We love the small comfort of indoor plumping in the out doors. We had some first time campers with us and it helped them ease into the idea of camping. We loved the animals on the lot. The only complaint we have is there is no joke about the dog farm next door. Most of us are heavy sleepers and didn't notice the dogs. But those of us that were light sleepers definitely had less sleep the nights we were there. Would do wish that the pool table was more accessible outside of the bar early closing hours. Otherwise, everything was wonderful! We could set up tent and trust that all of our belongings we're going to be safe.

Site 4 was great. It was partially secluded with a little patio and some artificial turf. Great Sky as a whole is a sweet place. It has some farm animals and a pub. The pub was nice with a few food options and a full bar. It had live entertainment and a couple of pool tables.

Great potential but not quite there yet. We thought it was a bit pricey for a diy site with not a lot of direction.
We loved the micro brewery/live music but felt the campsites/layout was a bit odd. We were at site 2 and due to layout had people driving through camp. Site1 has same issue. A map of the site numbers would help a ton.
