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.

**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).
