Our high desert cattle ranch is located in Central Arizona and covers 13,000 acres. We lease government land to maintain our mother cows and breeding stock. Our herd of Brangus and Beefmaster Cross cattle are best adapted to the desert-type climate. We also have some American Wagyu cattle. The cattle forage on native grasses in mesquite, catclaw, prickly pear, and pinyon-type vegetation. It’s a passion and more about a lifestyle that involves hard work, grit, and dedication. Raising cattle and livestock has always been a way of life that both, Pierre & Kristi, have been a part of. Raising our girls teaching the values of hard work, good stewardship of the land, and passing on a passion for the cattle industry are the focus of their cattle business. We offer 4 full hook-up RV spots, plenty of room for dry camping and pitching a tent. We also offer several cuts of beef that you can purchase when you arrive and see our availability.

Chevelon Canyon Highlands
16. Chevelon Canyon Highlands
47mi from Kohls Ranch · 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.

Our high desert cattle ranch is located in Central Arizona and covers 13,000 acres. We lease government land to maintain our mother cows and breeding stock. Our herd of Brangus and Beefmaster Cross cattle are best adapted to the desert-type climate. We also have some American Wagyu cattle. The cattle forage on native grasses in mesquite, catclaw, prickly pear, and pinyon-type vegetation. It’s a passion and more about a lifestyle that involves hard work, grit, and dedication. Raising cattle and livestock has always been a way of life that both, Pierre & Kristi, have been a part of. Raising our girls teaching the values of hard work, good stewardship of the land, and passing on a passion for the cattle industry are the focus of their cattle business. We offer 4 full hook-up RV spots, plenty of room for dry camping and pitching a tent. We also offer several cuts of beef that you can purchase when you arrive and see our availability.

Chevelon Canyon Highlands
16. Chevelon Canyon Highlands
47mi from Kohls Ranch · 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.

This is a large spot next to Gene’s property with great, easy access to the Verde River. You are in a rural neighborhood so not only do you have the river to lull you to sleep but you may hear cows, dogs and even a donkey every once in awhile. The spot is next to a road that is used by others taking advantage of the river but it is day use only so you do not get any road noise at night. There are plenty of cozy spots to pick on the property. If you have a trailer, you will need to do some leveling and backing up can be a bit tight. It is a great choice if you want to play in the Verde!

This place is a gem. Nani is very welcoming, the land and stars are beautiful, and her "treehouse" was available and cozy on a cold night. The main road driving in is well-graded dirt/clay. Just watch out for cows. Don't be in any rush, chat with Nani, learn about the place and respect the spot 🫶 Can't wait to come back in the future :)
