Show Low was named by the turn of a Card. A ranch of nearly 100,000 acres jointly owned by Marion Clark and Croydon Cooley a U.S. army scout. According to legend, sometime around 1876, the partners decided that there was not enough room for both of them
and one of them should leave. 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." At this point
Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs, and declared "Show Low" it is! Show Low
is a city in Navajo County, Arizona
among the lush green ponderosa pine forestland and along Arizona's Mogollon Rim at an elevation of 6,345 feet. Show Low is now the largest city in the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. Show Low is also the business hub and marketing center of the area.

Large rustic log cabin in the pines. Our families favorite place to be. Cabin is 2800 sqft. and has a large 1400 sqft. deck for enjoying the outdoors and views overlooking Greer Valley. Great base camp for fishing and hiking in the spring and summer, hunting in the fall and skiing in the winter. Very close to the three Greer lakes and only 15 minutes to Sunrise Ski Park. Quiet secluded location but still close to all Greer and the White Mountains has to offer.

This was by far one of our top favorite camping trips for my sons and I. I want to tell EVERYONE how wonderful and amazing it was but I am afraid everyone will want to go. I’ll call it my best kept secret ;) camp host was so amazing when we arrived and gave us a tour. We went exploring and hiking the next couple days and made some beautiful memories. I have nothing negative to say about this spot. It was breathtakingly beautiful and the camp sites all held their own beauty of the canyon.

This has got to be one of the most amazing places that I've had the opportunity to come to!! Andrew is an outstanding host, take the tour he offers!! From the exploration of the mines, to the waterfalls, to the ohv trails, this camp is one of a kind!!! Higher clearance vehicle would be recommended as roads can be rough and run a cliff line, but the end result is epic!! You are quite literally in the middle of an abandoned ghost town.

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 guesthouse was warm, homey, peaceful, private, and quiet. The location was great for going to the national park and being away from it all. The massive supply of movies was fun. There were lots of kitchen supplies and extra blankets and stuff, which was nice since you're so far from any towns. Sandee paid us a visit and was very communicative, welcoming, and sweet.

Ash Creek is a unicorn for remote camping on the edge of the Tonto National Forest. Andrew and his son offered us a tour of the canyon and we got to see all the views and learn about the history of the mining operations. The campsite we chose was flat and clean and the clearing was surrounded but trees and steep cliffs. With no light pollution, the night sky looked amazing and the sound of the creek created a nice ambience. We brought our own firewood but there were plenty of loose branches if you prefer to forage. I wish we had booked for more time here, because there is a lot to see and do, including hikes and mine exploration. I had no issues driving around in my Subaru Outback but would recommend reaching out about road conditions beforehand since some of the paths can be narrow or washed out. I don’t get to camp often but hope to be a repeat customer at Ash Canyon.

Came to Shiloh Ranch with four friends on a road trip this past week and it was by far our best stop.
Sandee offered us kindness and hospitality, helped us with directions to our next destination, and informed us about the nature around us.
The casita itself was well stocked with plenty of blankets, cooking supplies, and seasonings
The property was stunning and we had a blast looking at the night sky and rummaging around looking for petrified wood
I could not recommend this place enough.

We had the BEST time camping at Ash Creek Canyon. It’s truly hard for me to find words or sum up our trip in a short paragraph. To put it simply, it feels like we only saw the tip of the iceberg as far as exploration goes in Chrysotile. We cannot wait to go back and learn and explore some more. Our stay was magical. Andy was a top-notch host, super accommodating with speedy correspondence, and truly just a pleasure to be around. His enthusiasm, love and awe for this land shined bright. He showed us around all of the land reachable via side-by-side and gave us a grand tour on the history of the abandoned mining town. There is so much to uncover there. Not only was the history fascinating, but the scenery was BEAUTIFUL… truly enchanting. We camped at site #2, Waterfall Pasture. We were perfectly secluded from other campers and felt like we had the whole area to ourselves.. which was great as we were camping with our two young daughters and three dogs (a rather loud bunch). We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway, and cannot wait to come back. THANK YOU ANDY!

First of all Sandee was lovely and made us feel so very welcome.
Situated on a property that has a main house and multiple guesthouses, my family stayed in the smaller guesthouse. All amenities available meant all our needs were met. The house had plenty of room for us. Our little dog was equally welcome. The ranch was far removed from noise and nonsense, but only 20 minutes from the Petrified Forest south entrance. A beautiful setting!
