Learn more about this land:This raw land property, right at the edge of the Petrified Forest National Park, gives you amazing views of and walking access into the park (with an already purchased entrance pass) to the ancient Puerco Pueblo and the stunning views of Newspaper Rock.
Cell reception in the area is decent. I had access to TMobile data from the property the last time I was there though not all areas of the park have the same luxury.
City folk (like it seems I have sadly become these days) often forget what a beautiful starry night sky can look like. One clear night here and you'll see a sky full of stars, the milky way, planets and maybe a shooting star.
As a International Dark Sky Park, the parks nightscape falls on the Bortel scale of 3 (1 being darkest and 9 being brightest). For more info go to www.nps.gov/pefo/learn/nature/darkskies
Outside of the Petrified Forest National Park in Holbrook, we recommend visiting Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Co. and the Navajo County Historical Society Museum.
Nearest gas can be found at the Painted Desert Visitor Center or west down I-40 toward Holbrook at the Hopi Travel Plaza.
In Holbrook, groceries can be found at Safeway and local restaurants include Camaleon Cafe, Butterfield Stage Co. Steak House and Mandarin Beauty and host of other Mexican and American restaurants.
Trucks do come down Adamana Rd to the storage facility during the week though you probably won't hear or see them much. The train can be a bit loud and obnoxious for some (or a something exciting for the kids) depending on how frequently it passes through so ear plugs at night may be advised.
I'm usually pretty accessible and close to my phone so feel free to message me with any questions you may have, before during or after your trip!
***Please read all rules and descriptions in the listing thoroughly before booking to make sure this listing is a good fit!***

Learn more about this land:This raw land property, right at the edge of the Petrified Forest National Park, gives you amazing views of and walking access into the park (with an already purchased entrance pass) to the ancient Puerco Pueblo and the stunning views of Newspaper Rock.
Cell reception in the area is decent. I had access to TMobile data from the property the last time I was there though not all areas of the park have the same luxury.
City folk (like it seems I have sadly become these days) often forget what a beautiful starry night sky can look like. One clear night here and you'll see a sky full of stars, the milky way, planets and maybe a shooting star.
As a International Dark Sky Park, the parks nightscape falls on the Bortel scale of 3 (1 being darkest and 9 being brightest). For more info go to www.nps.gov/pefo/learn/nature/darkskies
Outside of the Petrified Forest National Park in Holbrook, we recommend visiting Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Co. and the Navajo County Historical Society Museum.
Nearest gas can be found at the Painted Desert Visitor Center or west down I-40 toward Holbrook at the Hopi Travel Plaza.
In Holbrook, groceries can be found at Safeway and local restaurants include Camaleon Cafe, Butterfield Stage Co. Steak House and Mandarin Beauty and host of other Mexican and American restaurants.
Trucks do come down Adamana Rd to the storage facility during the week though you probably won't hear or see them much. The train can be a bit loud and obnoxious for some (or a something exciting for the kids) depending on how frequently it passes through so ear plugs at night may be advised.
I'm usually pretty accessible and close to my phone so feel free to message me with any questions you may have, before during or after your trip!
***Please read all rules and descriptions in the listing thoroughly before booking to make sure this listing is a good fit!***
We look forward to having you!

The view of the stars at night was incredible! The road was definitely rough getting out there but it was dry when we went and I made it fine in my Escape with no 4WD so it was do-able. The site is isolated (some highway noise but it is distant so makes for great white noise) and well-maintained with some really great amenities: horseshoes, cornhole, a little putt putt green, fire blanket, roasting sticks for hot dogs/s'mores, plus an outdoor shower setup and compost toilet. We had an excellent time and plan on staying again next time we are in the area!!!

Ken has an amazing, secluded site! We didn't have any neighbors so it made it especially private which just added to the feeling of being "out there". The wide open views and clear skies were exactly what my family and I needed to have a nice get away.

We loved staying on Sandee’s land….the cabin is small but had everything we needed especially in the kitchen!! The kitchen and shower are a tight squeeze but honestly it was all clean and wonderful! She had so many things in the kitchen that we didn’t need to unload our kitchen camping tote at all!
My parents stayed in the downstairs part and myself and three children stayed upstairs which was the perfect amount of space for us all! My kids highlight was the VHS player and assortment of VHS tapes (we had been tent camping with no electronics for over a week)
The land is beautiful and tucked pretty far away from a close big town so the sky was beautiful at night and barely any light pollution! There is small fragments of petrified wood alll over the land and it was fun to look around and walk the property
She had a wonderful top deck and a patio space with a very nice fire pit and grill on the ground level that we enjoyed each night and morning!
We will definitely be visiting again and staying in one of Sandee’s cabins again !
We had a quick 15-20min drive to Petrified National park

Dope primitive camping and spot easy access with an suv or bigger. You can literally see petrified forest from the campsite he’s not lying— front row seats. The train being close was annoying but earplugs I think would make it fine. Read all the description and rules etc and you’ll be just fine. Brett gave great directions and was very responsive. Would def recommend to a friend

We greatly enjoyed our stay. It's a drive in, but worth the night sky views. The horse shoe pit & putt putt green are fun assets.

Beautiful wide open space. We were the only campers there. The horseshoes and corn hole setup was another plus. We did get a little turned around trying to find the place, but the clear campground signage helped. Extra tarps for wind proofing are recommended if there are any winds, but otherwise a great place to camp. We would love to camp here again.

So peaceful and beautiful! The "Petrified Forest Hideaway" sign has fallen, so keep an eye low to the ground for the right turn off.

Paula's land is in beautiful dessert terrain with some amazing rock formations dotted along the road in and elsewhere. The hilltop site we stayed in had a nice breeze all night with stars everywhere. Paula was super communicative ... always really appreciative of that. Tks Paula!

Definitely private and quiet. The kids loved the wide open spaces and few lawn games that were there. The picnic table was great and we took advantage of the fire pit. The road is a little tricky to get down with a camper, but we took it slow and had no trouble.

This was a great stay! The parking spots are all pull through, flat and privacy provided by beautiful junipers. Each parking spot has a large fire pit with fire wood provided.
The night sky is light free for star gazing.

Incredible place to make camp for the night and wake up. A little bit off of the main highway, but Ken gives great accessible directions if you are coming after sun set. Campsite is perfect and making dinner over the great fire pit was very easy. The little set up he has is perfect. Great to wake up and have short ride to the petrified forest. What a great place to stay.
