Beall’s B&B camp | Earth-Based Holistic Wellness & Sacred Rest
Beall’s B&B camp is an off-grid, earth-based wellness campground rooted in respect for the land and the ancient ways of living in balance with nature. This space was created as a place of rest, remembrance, and reconnection, guided by indigenous-inspired values of stewardship, simplicity, and sacred relationship with the Earth.
Our land is cared for with intention and gratitude. We honor natural rhythms, quiet living, and mindful presence. Guests are invited to slow down, unplug, and experience the grounding energy of the land — whether through stillness, ceremony, or simply listening to the wind and wildlife.
We offer handcrafted, natural earth medicines made in small batches using plant wisdom, traditional techniques, and deep respect for the healing properties of nature. These offerings are available on-site for those who feel called to support their personal wellness journey.
This is a CBD-friendly space with a discreet, respectful approach to THC-aware wellness, aligned with rustic, ceremonial, and nature-honoring values. We ask all guests to remain mindful, low-impact, and respectful of the shared sacred environment.
Beall’s B&B camp welcomes those seeking sacred rest, soulful quiet, and a deeper connection to the land. This is not a party campground — it is a place to walk gently, rest deeply, and leave the land as you found it.
May the land receive you kindly.
May your rest be deep and your spirit steady.
May you leave lighter than you arrived.

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!

Chevelon Canyon Highlands
20. Chevelon Canyon Highlands
22mi from Holbrook · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to the edge of the high desert.
Set at the very end of a quiet dirt road, this 230-acre private property offers rare access to vast open space, dramatic canyon views, and true solitude. Located about 30 minutes off pavement, the drive in is part of the experience. A medium-clearance vehicle is recommended, though high-clearance 4x4 is not required. The final mile becomes a bit rough at a few spots that cross sandstone, but there are no major obstacles for a standard truck or SUV. Off-road or higher-clearance travel trailers are welcome, provided they are not excessively long or low to the ground.
The land itself is expansive and immersive. With over a mile of Chevelon Creek forming the southern boundary, the property drops into a massive canyon with 300-foot cliffs, sweeping views, and a sense of scale that feels more like a national park than private land. Advanced rock climbers have quietly begun establishing rappel routes and sport climbs into the canyon. While climbing access is informal and at your own discretion, the remoteness and openness of the area has long made it a haven for experienced adventurers.
To the north, the property borders a large stretch of BLM land, offering endless room to explore, hike, and roam without crowds. Despite the size and openness, the land feels remarkably private. There are no neighbors in sight, no traffic, and no noise beyond wind, birds, and the canyon below.
This is a place for those seeking something rare:
– Overlanders looking for space, views, and quiet
– Adventurers and climbers drawn to wild terrain
– Retreat groups wanting privacy, inspiration, and room to breathe
– Anyone craving the feeling of being far away, without being unreachable
If you’re looking for polished amenities and tight campsites, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for scale, silence, stars, and a landscape that stops you in your tracks, you’ve found something special.

🌀 Hi, I’m Tenesha, and I own this bit of raw land in one of the most magical places in the U.S.!
After living in my van for a year, I decided to create a home for myself somewhere I can stargaze.
I’m now offering to share my space with other travelers!

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!

Chevelon Canyon Highlands
20. Chevelon Canyon Highlands
22mi from Holbrook · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to the edge of the high desert.
Set at the very end of a quiet dirt road, this 230-acre private property offers rare access to vast open space, dramatic canyon views, and true solitude. Located about 30 minutes off pavement, the drive in is part of the experience. A medium-clearance vehicle is recommended, though high-clearance 4x4 is not required. The final mile becomes a bit rough at a few spots that cross sandstone, but there are no major obstacles for a standard truck or SUV. Off-road or higher-clearance travel trailers are welcome, provided they are not excessively long or low to the ground.
The land itself is expansive and immersive. With over a mile of Chevelon Creek forming the southern boundary, the property drops into a massive canyon with 300-foot cliffs, sweeping views, and a sense of scale that feels more like a national park than private land. Advanced rock climbers have quietly begun establishing rappel routes and sport climbs into the canyon. While climbing access is informal and at your own discretion, the remoteness and openness of the area has long made it a haven for experienced adventurers.
To the north, the property borders a large stretch of BLM land, offering endless room to explore, hike, and roam without crowds. Despite the size and openness, the land feels remarkably private. There are no neighbors in sight, no traffic, and no noise beyond wind, birds, and the canyon below.
This is a place for those seeking something rare:
– Overlanders looking for space, views, and quiet
– Adventurers and climbers drawn to wild terrain
– Retreat groups wanting privacy, inspiration, and room to breathe
– Anyone craving the feeling of being far away, without being unreachable
If you’re looking for polished amenities and tight campsites, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for scale, silence, stars, and a landscape that stops you in your tracks, you’ve found something special.

Lots of space and beautiful views! Greeted by a few friendly cows on our way in. It’s off the beaten path, but Ken’s directions helped us get there easily, even with a later than planned arrival after dark. Our RWD van made it in just fine.

Great space and when I pulled in the neighbor even offered to let me use his well to fill up my water! Just stayed for the night but the canyon is near by and is really cool. Would stay again if I’m passing through!

Loved her place! She was very nice and has a great setup. It's somewhat remote so it's nice and quiet and the stars were great. The dirt road in was no issue at all though, definitely recommend for a nice getaway and the area is great. Went to the Petrified Forest nearby. Highly recommended :)

We have a TAB 320s boondock trailer and couldn’t wait to get out “away from it all.” Well, Paula’s campsites are just that!! The site was pretty much level, free of clutter, has a porta-pot on site, a fire ring, and if requested, firewood. The area also has a small canyon/creek, a small natural arch, and interesting rock formations as you drive in. The roads are a bit rough but worth it being 21 miles outside of Winslow, AZ.
Thanks Paula for a great camping spot. We will definitely stay again!!!!

Amy was very helpful with direction as my GPS was down. My texts and phone calls were answered immediately, great communication. Look for the lime green shipping container. The spots are just to the north of it.. The sunsets and stars were a treat. I enjoyed the solitude and quiet nights.My at&t cell coverage was trouble free. I stayed here because it was 20 minutes from the entrance to Petrified Forest National Park. I was surprised how simple hipcamp is to use. Highly recommend camp spot! Thank you Amy! Will

The Google map link took me to the wrong place. But Thomas was immediately available to provide me the correct location pin. Other than that, it was all good: quiet and dark. The stars! I slept great. The entrance off the gravel road was a little bumpy but doable, as expected for a dispersed desert site. I appreciated the solar landing lights (very dim) since I arrived after dark.

The site was as advertised - dry camping with no facilities, but the price was fair. The train tracks are right at the property boundary, but we were prepared based on the reviews and in the end it the train noise wasn’t as bad as we thought. There were few trains that came through the night but since neither of us had trouble falling back to sleep it wasn’t much of a bother. If you’re a light sleeper this may not be for you,
