Super private and beautiful location. It was awesome to be able to see all the stars at night. The place was clean and cozy and perfect for what we needed. I do recommend bringing extra lighting, if you want to move around at night. Thankfully we did. I would return

Loved this secluded canyon! Met Andrew by the highway, which was already way out there, then followed him on his quad in my 21' class-B van for 3 or 4 miles to campsite #2. Dislodged my low hanging generator on the rough road, but I knew it was a risk. Well worth it. This property had absolutely no noise or light pollution. It was an old mining town with several old mines still open to explore. I had an unforgettable few days secluded on this property. Zero cellular coverage with Verizon and Wi-Fi wasn't on while I was there. I thoroughly enjoyed my unplugged time. I will definitely be returning.

We loved the area and the campsite! Falling asleep to the sound of the creek next to us and waking up to the sun rising over the mountains made us wish we had booked a longer trip. Peaceful, private, and stunning. We came in after dark and Andrew met us at the gate, showed us to the site, and was available for anything we needed. 10/10 no notes. Will book again.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We were looking for somewhere beautiful and private to celebrate our anniversary and this exceeded our expectations. The tour at the start was so informative and we were able to find and explore all the places Andrew talked about. We spent quite a bit of time in Victory mine, found the underground waterfall, and hiked back to the swimming hole. He described the swimming hole as 'fairytale', and it truly was. We camped on the most beautiful site with amazing views of the canyon and towering bluffs. It was full moon and the site of that moon rising over the bluffs was breathtaking. This is truly one of the most beautiful, untouched places we have ever been and we hope to be back again someday.

This was a last-minute booking, and we’re so glad we chose Andrew’s place. He is a fantastic host who takes great pride in his land, his guests, and the history of what was once a thriving old mining town. Chrysotile is a stunning area with rich history, and our experience exceeded all expectations. We stayed at Site #1, which felt perfectly secluded for us. During our stay, we encountered an incredible variety of wildlife, including birds, deer, a skunk, and even a golden eagle.
A highlight of the trip was a tour of one of the mines led by Chad, Andrew's caretaker—it was truly special. Our campsite was next to a running creek, where we spent most of our time relaxing, and we ended our days by driving to a plateau to witness breathtaking sunsets. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to any of the waterfalls on the property, but there’s always next time.
Andrew is putting so much effort into maintaining and sharing the beauty of this special place, and it shows. Just remember to pack light and take responsibility for packing out your waste to help preserve the canyon. If you’re looking for peace, solitude, and the chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect spot. Huge thanks to Andrew and Chad for being such wonderful hosts!

Ash Creek Canyon is a true hidden gem! As you dive into the rugged terrain of the canyon, a whole other world opens up. You can enjoy the tranquility of your own campsite or explore the old mine town that is spread out through the canyon.
A big shout-out goes to Chad. He’s such a genuine and thoughtful guy, who took us on a little tour, while explaining the history of the different buildings and showing us the true beauty of the canyon.
We’ll definitely be back!

Ash Creek Canyon is so much more than a place to camp—it's land waiting to be explored. Our stay at Campsite 2 was incredible! The site itself was spacious, private, and tucked right into the beauty of the canyon. Waking up surrounded by towering cliffs and the sounds of nature was truly magical.
But what really set this experience apart was the hidden history woven into the land. From old mines and hand-dug caves to swimming holes and trails, every corner holds a story—and Andrew, our host, brought it all to life! He was absolutely fantastic. His tour of the property wasn’t just informative—it was adventurous and fun, even for our big family of 7. The kids were in awe the entire time, and so were we.
We climbed, hiked, swam, and explored for hours. It was the kind of trip where memories are made and retold for years.
💯 Highly recommend Ash Creek Canyon to anyone looking for a mix of camping, history, and wild fun. There's something here for everyone—and yes, we’re already planning our next visit!

Everything was amazing!!! Andrew was friendly and very helpful. There’s a lot of history in the camp spot. With a few mines to explore. Would definitely recommend for an adventure. If going make sure to have a truck or high rise vehicle. You are driving down into a cannon. Lots of rocks.

This is a great place off the grid to camp. The stars and moon are so bright at night. Ample room to set up camp with no neighbors (literally). Bring everything you need and stop in Globe before you head to camp for last min things. Highly recommend 4 wheel drive or high profile cars and go slow. The roads are rough indeed.

This Hipcamp site was amazing with a small running creek! The site is pretty remote with a 3 mile, steep dirt road. I was able to make it in my 20ft camper van but I wish I had 4x4 for the trip. The camp host was amazing and helped me down the road and gave me firewood too. My pups loved being off leash and we loved being visited by a random cow.

Ash Creek Canyon was everything we needed and more. The campsite was secluded and quiet. The bubbling of the creek at night was beautiful, and the water was low. I can only imagine how nice it will be after the rains. We didn't meet Andrew the elder, but the younger was knowledgeable and helpful, as was Ryan an employee we accidentally disturbed with questions.
We had several furry visitors, our favorite was 2104 a gentle bull that gazed near the site while we were there.
Tips:
The roads are largely ungraded, so you definitely need 4 wheel drive. I would not recommend a low car. We were in an SUV and had no problems.
You will drive on a one lane road with a cliff to one side. Even if you're nervous, it is worth it at the end.
Visit the town. It is interesting and I hope to go back once more is restored.
The hike to the swimming hole isn't bad, but it is worth it.
Ask Andrew where the moonshine is! I didn't and I regret it!

Absolutely a wonderful experience camping here. The host was gracious and the tour of the property along with his vast knowledge of the history of the mining operations was beyond reproach.
There are multiple camp sites that have been cleared and offer a lot of space to set up several tents and campers.
There are also several cabins that are being renovated that will be offered for those who need the modern amenities.
Abundant wildlife, fresh water streams and trails leading to the Tonto National Forest.
A definite must for those wishing to get away from the daily monotony of the city. The night sky is absolutely amazing!

This camping trip was much more than I expected. I had never heard of this old mining town and beautiful Ash Creek Canyon, couldn’t find much information online. GPS took us right to the City, Upon arrival Andy greeted us and showed us to our campsite, then told us some history of the area and the places that must be seen. I will definitely be back because 3 days was not enough to see everything. When you go, plan to rent a side by side from them, if available, because there is over 600 acres to explore. Plenty of old mountain roads and mine entrances to see. Even.a few old buildings left from the Mining town days are there to see. A lot of active wild life to see, swimming holes to discover. Way too much to list here. If you love camping and exploring, do not miss this place.
Campsites are large and leveled, with big fire pits. Plenty of room for multiple tents or RVs.

Ash Creek was beautiful! Had a great night stay, spot #4. Creek wasn’t running and didn’t get a chance to hike down to the swimming holes, but the area was well maintained and had some tree coverage until the sun set behind the cliff to cast shade. Thank you Andrew and Chad!
