Welcome to Red Rock Roping! Where you will be a close 3 mile drive to old town Cave Creek restaurants, bars, and shopping strip. But far enough to enjoy a quiet and peaceful scenery of mountains, sunsets and sunrises. Don’t forget to kick your feet up, and end your night to enjoy a wide open view of the stars! Also, keep your eyes open for desert critters such as rattlesnakes, tarantulas, scorpions, deer, road runners, bob cats, and coyotes. We ask please do not pet, catch, feed or leave any food out that will attract them. Enjoy them from a picture away :)
Our 2 accessible acres will give you 360 view of mountains, our Red Rock Roping arena, and a Saloon to gather under to enjoy cool refreshments, and a meal with your friends/family. Right outside our entrance going North on 80th Street you can hike over to the Grapevine Wash which is a short walk away from the Cave Creek Town Trail System for hiking and horseback riding, and if you’re adventurous you can hike up 2 miles of a 800’ climb on a gravel road/trails to “Mexican Hat” for an even more incredible view! We are a 30 amp full hook up (sewer, water & electrical) for 33’ RV’s and living quarters horse trailers. You will also have access to our community laundry area, with a large garbage can to dump a bag if needed.
Some suggestions for town; Grab some quick delicous breakfast and coffee at Janey’s. Or American cuisine lunch at The Horny Toad, a Mexican cuisine dinner while watching the turtles in the pond at El Encanto! Ofrenda, right at the end of the road, also has great authentic Mexican cuisine. Many restaurants to choose from all within a short drive. Bashas, Safeway, Target, and Walmart and Sprouts are all within a 3-6 mile drive too!
We have two turnout pens for horses. That are located right behind where you will park your trailer. They both have a cover that provides some shade, as well as running water. We do not provide any feed, so please make sure you bring some! We ask that you please do not feed any horses that do not belong to you. Or go into any pen that your horse is not in. For safety and respect :) Thank you in advance.
(Horse turnouts are an extra $25 each/per night)

Pitch your tent or park your camper among towering Saguaros with stunning mountain views in every direction. Bring your camera or your horses! This is the perfect spot for relaxing, stargazing, and soaking in those famous Arizona sunsets. You’ll have a spacious, private campsite all to yourself—I only allow one booking at a time to ensure a peaceful and personal experience.
Please note: This is a working horse ranch, which means you'll see fencing, trailers, and occasional activity from people helping keep the ranch running. While your campsite is private, our property is just over two acres—so you'll also see neighboring homes. If you're looking for complete solitude with no sights, sounds, or smells of ranch life, I recommend dispersed camping elsewhere.
My 2.2-acre private horse ranch is home to:
• 8 rescue horses
• 2 donkeys
• 8 mini pigs and a few chickens!
…all ready to meet and greet!
Trail access? Absolutely.
Hiking and horseback riding trails lead directly from the property into Spur Cross Conservation Area—or take a short 10-minute drive to a main trailhead. Black Mountain Hiking Trail is also nearby and offers panoramic views of the valley. You can even ride your horse into town and tie up at the local cowboy bars!
⸻
A few things to note:
• The landscape varies with the season—there won’t be green grass in the summer
• Please keep pets away from cactus—they bite!
• We’re located in a desert neighborhood, so please respect the nearby homes. My house and neighbors house will be in view from your campsite.
• A horse corral (50 ft round pen) is available to rent—message me if interested!
⸻
Looking for more adventure? Lake Pleasant, Bartlett Lake, Tonto National Forest, Seven Springs, and other scenic destinations are a short drive away. Need supplies? Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and more are just 10 minutes down the road. Want to explore a truly unique cowboy town? Cave Creek is full of Old West charm, with saloons, quirky shops, live music, and horses sharing the road with motorcycles.

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.

I’m not going to lie..when I first got there it was nothing like I expected. First it was the road going down into the canyon..a bit was scary. I do have a 2WD SUV and if Andrew did not come up and escort me down I would have been too scared to attempt it on my own.
He was even gracious enough to get me parked and give me a tour of the mines, jail, old buildings in his Polaris.
Due to my timing there really wasn’t anywhere to swim as the water was very low. I originally booked spot 1 but it was a hot week and there wasn’t a lot of shade so I opted for site 2 which was perfect for me and my dog. I did a little rockhounding in the dry area of creek and found some cool rocks!
When it was time to leave Andrew came over to my site and escorted me back up the scary road and even helped me get past some of the rougher spots. Great host! His wife came by with her daughter on day two to check on me and tell me that the storm looks like it will pass..right before the storm came and lasted about 3 hours. Being from Arizona I know exactly how that goes…if you say the storm will pass it will not. I thought it was scary and fun…thunder was cracking like a whip right outside of my tent! They offered me one of the beautiful cabins to pass the storm in..but I actually enjoyed the fear of the storm from my tent. My dog did not agree with this decision.
Next time I’ll let them pick us up at the top and leave my car. I didn’t even know that was an option.

I really loved my stay at Sacred Springs. The campground was very clean and well organized. The amenities were great. Gary and Daren really thought of everything that you would need to have a great experience. And that is just the campsites. That doesn’t include the actual Sacred Springs. It is like a whole other world down below the campground. I was able to hike the many trails and enjoy the wonderful variety of birds like a pair of black hawks to the Gila woodpeckers. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to enjoy getting into any of the water due to recent rains, but they were beautiful nevertheless. If you are a light sleeper you will definitely want to use ear plugs like Gary and Daren suggest since IH-17 is so close, but it is a small inconvenience considering how cool the whole place is. I really hope to get back to Sacred Springs sooner that later. Thanks Gary and Daren!

If you’re even thinking about booking with Gary and Daren, do it. They are, without question, some of the best hosts we’ve ever had.
We stayed at both their Hipcamp site and their VRBO, and everything exceeded our expectations. Their property is absolutely beautiful, with private creek access that makes it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. Whether you want a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled trip, this is an incredible home base.
Gary and Daren go above and beyond in every possible way. They have fantastic recommendations for hiking, restaurants, and exploring Sedona, and their local knowledge made our trip so much better. In fact, I’m pretty sure Gary saved me from becoming one with the Arizona desert when he insisted I borrow one of his umbrellas before we headed out on a trail. I laughed at first…then spent the entire hike incredibly grateful for his advice! That umbrella made all the difference.
Their hospitality is truly unmatched. They think of everything, they genuinely care that you have a wonderful stay, and somehow they even managed to do our dishes. It’s the kind of thoughtful, effortless kindness that makes you feel less like a guest and more like a friend.
Gary and Daren have created something really special here. We left feeling refreshed, well cared for, and already talking about our next trip back. If you’re visiting Sedona or anywhere nearby, don’t hesitate—this is the place you want to stay.

I had a great time camping at Ash Creek Canyon! When I arrived, Andy offered to take me on a tour of the property on his ATV to help me get an idea of how to spend my time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and it's history. I ended up taking a beautiful hike along the creek to swim in one of the canyon's several natural pools. Later on I explored one of the old mines, although I wish I had brought extra batteries for my flashlight so I could venture further. At night, the sky was filled with more stars than I think I've seen in my entire life. Overall, the experience felt very private and secluded, which was exactly what I was looking for on this trip. Definitely plan on returning again someday.

We had such an amazing stay and can’t wait to come back! Being able to pitch our tent while still enjoying so many comforts made this the perfect getaway. We loved having both an outdoor shower and an indoor shower, plus a flushable toilet and a full kitchen, which made camping so easy and enjoyable.
There was so much to do! We explored the creek, went paddle boarding, painted rocks, and spent our evenings around the fire pit under the most beautiful night sky. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the location was peaceful and not far from Sedona.
One of the highlights of our trip was the weather. We experienced some exciting thunderstorms that made the adventure even more memorable. Watching the lightning in the distance and listening to the rain while camping added to the fun and made for an unforgettable experience.
This place offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, relaxing, and memorable getaway!
