Grand Canyon Wander Camp
16 sites · Lodging50 acres · Williams, AZ
After traveling the world extensively for over 5 years we discovered that there are few places as beautiful as the great outdoors. We live for untouched wilderness, gorgeous landscapes, and stunning sunrises. Thus Wander Camp was born, a Glamping Property with no boundaries. Finally an accommodation that enjoys traveling the world as much as you do.
Wander Camp Grand Canyon is a rustic glamping accommodation, located in Dark Sky country, approximately 30 minutes from the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
Please be aware that you may encounter other groups during your visit. Our site features numerous glamping tents, and although it is nestled in a secluded area, you may still encounter other individuals.
4WD is recommended! BE PREPARED to drive on rural, unpaved roads, with the potential for both pot holes and large dips along the way. Parking is available as close to tents as possible, typically a short walk of 25-50 feet.
Each of our large, waterproof canvas bell tents - 216 sq. feet, 16 feet in diameter and height - include low profile windows and a large netted door with double zippers for privacy. Inside you'll see they come furnished with not only the necessary camping furniture, but luxury beds with high thread count sheets, plush down comforters, pillows and blankets. A soft rug, side tables and leather wingback chairs give it that touch of home.
We do operate completely off-grid which means no electricity is provided at camp. We provide solar lanterns in each tent for lighting, as well as solar lighted pathways throughout camp; however, you'll definitely want to make sure you take time to enjoy the darkness for star gazing outside of our tent.

The Grand Stargazer
1 site · RV1 acre · Williams, AZ
Enjoy 1 full acre under the stars. Make this lot your own and treat it like it was yours. You may access the land and camp where you feel is suitable for you and your guest. You will be able to see the milky way on a clear night and enjoy the galaxy like never before. LOOK for the big tree to know you are on the right parcel. Please view the listing photos a few times to spot the land easier
Just 27 miles away head into the red rocks, pines, deserts, and canyons and sink your soul into some vast and untrammeled land that is beyond amazing. Kaibab National Forest has got what you need for a Northern Arizona getaway no matter what you are looking for. With three distinct areas: Williams, Tusayan, and North Kaibab, this diverse place will leave you with a perma-smile and a wild streak you didn’t know you had. Also, wait for it...this forest borders both the north and south side of Grand Canyon National Park! For all the epicness that the Grand Canyon offers (some of the trails actually follow the rim of the canyon!) without the tourists and crowds, come here and feel like you hit the jackpot. There’s really no other way to say it. You just gotta see it for yourself!
A little further you have the famous Grand Canyon! Mother Nature had a blast creating the Big Ditch, an awe-inspiring place where ancient rocks soar above the Colorado River in a fiery parade of colors. Forested campsites are just steps from gorgeous views on both the North and South Rims, where hiking trails, biking, and sunset-watching await campers. Looking for solitude? Pack your backpack, fill your water bottles, grab your permit, and hike seven miles into the heart of the place on the switchbacking South Kaibab Trail, with gobsmacking views around every bend.
Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.

Vintage Camper Near the Canyon
1 site · Lodging2 acres · Valle, AZ
**Now Accepting Bookings for 2024**
Experience camping in our meticulously restored 16-foot 1960 Aristocrat Land Commander camper, available for stationary camping on our scenic property. Please note that photos of "The Desert Rose," currently undergoing a makeover, will be uploaded in February. Our campsite is equipped with a camper, a horseshoe pit, a barbecue grill, a fire pit, and a small deck. Located just 30 minutes from the Grand Canyon South Rim entrance, our property offers privacy and tranquility with breathtaking views, captivating night skies, and unforgettable sunsets.
Being an entirely off-grid property with on-site hosts, we rely on solar power for electricity, haul our own water, and use composting toilets. Despite the rustic setting, our camper provides essential amenities for a comfortable stay. Feel free to check the site information for more details. The high desert offers cool nights, spectacular skies, vibrant spring wildflowers, occasional high winds, and limited shade in the summer. Fortunately, you're just a short drive from the world's largest ponderosa pine forest, providing ample shade.
Situated in a rural setting, the camper and our home are 5 miles from Valle, AZ, 30 minutes from the Grand Canyon South Rim, 45 minutes from Williams, and 1 hour from Flagstaff. Our unique location minimizes light pollution, offering unparalleled views of meteor showers and the Milky Way.
During the rainy season and snow, you must have a four-wheel drive to get down the dirt roads to our land. We're 45 minutes from the nearest grocery store in Williams. This distance from town is why our night skies are so incredible; there's very little light pollution out here and few buildings to block views!
Reservations are required as we have only one camper and campsite available.
The following is a list of close by places to visit while you're here:
All distances were collected from Google Maps on 1/6/24
The nearest shopping and groceries are in Flagstaff (46 miles away) and Williams (41 miles away). Flagstaff has plenty of shopping and amenities, including 2 Walmarts and a shopping mall.

There is a Chevron convenience store with gas, fuel, bulk water, and snacks 5 miles away. Below is a list of Outdoor (and a few indoor) activities within an hour's drive:

Grand Canyon Wrigley Ranch Cottage
1 site · Lodging10 acres · Parks, AZ
Your 1b, 1ba Cottage comes fully stocked with all basic amenities like, soaps, toothpaste, towels, dishes, silverware, pots & pans, a few spices, sugar, coffee, hot chocolate and includes a dual-heated (his/hers), King bed and a pellet stove with a backup gas heater. The Cottage sits on 10 acres+, unlike 1-2 acre or less, packed areas like Kachina Village, Mountain Aire, Baderville, Doney Park, or Sherwood Forest, which are tightly packed neighborhoods. These “city neighborhood styled areas” are NOT desirable; mixed communities with nice houses and junk properties intermingled and virtually no land or easy forest/wildland access.
At The Cottage, you will not be in a suburban or semi-rural neighborhood. You’ll be staying far from local cities. This is a free-standing, remote, deep-in-the forest place with a gorgeous view of the famous Spring Valley and mountain views of Mt. Sitgreaves. Walking, hiking, biking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing start at your door. The Cottage is a separate home, with living room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, & dining nook. Kitchenware and utensils, salt, pepper & some spices stocked for your convenience.
The Cottage is nestled in 40ft-75ft pines, the perfect place for a weekend getaway deep in the Kaibab National Forest. Whether you’re looking to beat the heat of The Valley, Havasu, Tucson, So California or Vegas, or for a serene trip, a romantic getaway, or an adventure vacation, or even a honeymoon, this is the place. You'll love the "no air conditioning needed" comfort of The Cottage. Open, crack or close windows to adjust your room temp.
This property was initially developed in 1990 by the Wrigley Family. Yes. Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs), Wrigley Chewing Gum. Known by legacy as “The Wrigley Ranch,” it’s the last vestige of the once incredibly expansive, former land holding of one of America's most prestigious families.

Free amenities include pellet stove fuel & one free 12 pack of split firewood per stay for the fire pit (as long as no fire restrictions are in effect). BBQ tools included. Add'l firewood at only $6 per 12 add'l pieces. No Wi-Fi because of satellite bandwidth limitations/costs. No cell phone reception because you're too deep in the woods! To use your cell phone, you'll need to drive out to the prairie about 2 miles down the road.
Tarry on out to our pond and enjoy sitting on our glider/bench while the ducks frolic. If you like, bring fresh fruits and veggies to hand feed all the free-grazing birds. Horses love carrots and apples! Take the goats for a walk.
Walk freely on our 10 acre property plus its 30 acre add’l fenced forest land or just head out onto walking/ski trails to Spring Valley Tank where elk, antelope and deer get their water. Continue your hike on 1000s upon 1000s of acres on the Sitgreaves mountain range or Spring Valley Knoll.

Folks often ask how close walking trails are. Start at The Cottage’s door and virtually head out! Take a 2 mile RT flat walk to Spring Valley Tank, a very popular watering hole for all thirsty wildlife around here on the Spring Valley X-Country Ski Trail. Take a hike or dirt bicycle ride to Shulz Pass and see it's gorgeous high mountain meadows about 1 mile past Spring Valley Tank. Or for near 360 degree views of most of Northern Arizona’s highest peaks plus a glimpse of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, take a 4 mile RT horseback ride or hike due East to Lone Tree Lookout, about 1/2 mile past Spring Valley Knoll.
