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."

1 night at Ash Creek: Canyon Views & History

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.

Weekend Trip to 1/2 Glamp - 1/2 Camp - 100% Relax.

We had such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly friendly and responded quickly to any questions, which made everything great. The campsite itself was absolutely beautiful! peaceful and surrounded by nature. Lots of trinkets and tools for use. A lot of wildlife in the area. Many coyotes at night but did not bother us or come that close. The site feels secluded but also conveniently close to town, so we had the best of both worlds. We also really appreciated the generous amount of firewood provided, which made our evenings around the fire even better! The road to the campsite is a little rough but could be cause of the rain. I highly recommend this spot. Lots of good hiking around the area like Tonto national park. Thanks Paul!

Weekend Trip to Ash Creek: Canyon Views & History

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.

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!

3 nights at Ash Creek: Canyon Views & History

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!

2 nights at Show Low AZ GreatSky CampRanch

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.

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!

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!

Continuing down from the Entrance Driveway.

The camp hosts are friendly and helpful. It’s a beautiful spot on a small farm. It’s close to Show Low, but out in the country.

Weekend Trip to Ash Creek: Canyon Views & History

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.

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!

Weekend Trip to Show Low AZ GreatSky CampRanch

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.
