I loved the quiet solitude of Clove and Keith's land. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. There is so much to say and enjoy about their land. I saw wild horses running across the plains. The landscape and peace that I encountered was worth the drive. I would defiantly go back and looking forward to it!!

We absolutely loved this campsite it was extremely private and remote. If you are not looking for a 1 hour off of the highway dirt road trek in just be aware. BUT if you are looking for 40 acres of expansive desert to explore nearly all to yourself this is the place for you ! Clove and Keith just bought this property and did a great job welcoming us and making sure we got settled okay. Overall we had a quick but great stop here feels like youre on mars.

Outstanding stay!!! A couple important notes. First, Google maps was on point, Apple Maps didn’t understand the assignment. Second, you must arrive before dark because of the landscape. That said, Clove and Keith went above and beyond to help me arrive and get settled. Perfect for stargazing and hiking while enjoying the rock formations. If I wander back this way I’ll definitely stay here again.

With no road noise and no artificial lights other than a couple on the property this is a great location to view the stars and enjoy the quiet of Northern Arizona. Plenty of room to walk about and enjoy yourself with no distractions.

It was great, but the wind was terrible, they were great host, privacy was great, next time bringing my motorhome it was a little tough in a tent, beautiful views, overall it was really good, will do it again, it is a7 mile dirt road. But it's no bad, I will be back, saw some wild horses which was cool, rented a bike went for a ride, that was fun, the bathroom was clean, what more can I say

Tent camping in a private little campsite set against beautiful red rock. About 7.5 miles down a dirt road but worth the incredible 365° landscape at sunset. Would absolutely recommend for the adventurous.

Stunning beauty camping in our van among the rock formations. We were the only campers there on a Sunday night. Donovan and Linda are gracious hosts.

We’ve been traveling from the Ca. Foothills to camp in the red rock country for close to 50 years. In the old days, we could arrive at a place like Valley of Fire or Desert View without advance notice and score a site. Now, no. Thank goodness for Hipcamp. The route between Flagstaff and Utah was always a camping challenge. This May we found Naked Skull, liked what we saw and booked four nights. Linda put us in 7T and we loved it. Quiet wide open vistas in a rock protected site where we parked our pop up. Lots of lizards, a few wild horses and exquisite sky. Linda and Donavin were attentive hosts, made sure we were fine and gave us friendly space. Now that we have a place to stay, we’ll be taking 89 more often.

The last spectacular sunset lingers out to the west. My campsite, a secluded cove surrounded by sandstone boulders. This could be the best campsite I have ever stayed. Naked Skull is sixty-five acres located seven miles off HWY-89. Access is a bumpy but maintained dirt road. This campground caught my eye because of the proximity to the Grand Canyon and also because it is clothing optional. The sites are well spaced out providing privacy and solitude from other campers. Wild stallions roam the property. The lack of light pollution allows for extreme sky watching. A wonderous sunset, a sea of stars fill the sky, and a sunrise that brings tears to the eyes. My only criticism is that I only stayed one night. I would highly recommend Naked Skull to those seeking Solitude. Thank you to the hosts for being so welcoming.

What an amazing property! We had the most incredible camping experience at this site. The property itself is stunning with its incredible views especially during sunset!
Donavin and Linda were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Moving our tent site to a more secluded area blocking us from the wind the night of our stay which was very thoughtful. Their directions to the site were spot-on, which made finding our way there a breeze.
I cannot recommend this camping site enough, it's a true gem!

This was my first time at a Hipcamp and was pleasantly surprised. Actually, this place was nothing short of awesome. The hosts, Linda and Donavin, were over the top helpful, welcoming, and accommodating. Donavin provided an unexpected tour of the property upon my arrival, pointed out the highlights, and enumerated the local flora and fauna, including the wild mustangs. This 60 acre property is remote and relatively untouched which is a large part of its appeal. Adjoining properties are largely undeveloped, thereby giving a sense of the varied desert landscape as far as the eye can see. Some beautiful views are available from your campsite with Humphrey’s Peak (Arizona’s tallest at 12633 ft) to the south and the Colorado plateau to the north. The 7 mile road off of Route 89 to this location is unpaved, mildly rutted at times, but posed no problem at all. To navigate to this property, I would suggest using the provided Google map’s pin to avoid any confusion. As others noted, the stargazing is absolutely amazing, weather permitting. Most, if not all sites, have a fire ring and mine was provided with some firewood. I cannot overstate what a great time that I had conversing with wonderful and interesting couple that shared a campfire with me. All in all, a wonderful experience!

“Nudity Optional” sign entering property. I did not see in description on hipcamp. I had one night and a very awesome experience. If you are comfortable with the undressed, I highly recommend this beautiful place! Host couple friendly and gracious. 7 miles of rough dirt/gravel county road to get to the spot; rough for sprinter Van, but I did it. See video on my YouTube channel @alwaysgalavanting.

What an amazing property and great hosts. Linda and Donavin are lovely people who go out of their way to welcome everyone to enjoy this wonderful escape, where it’s easy to unplug and relax.
Fun to explore the property, sit by a fire or meet your neighbors in a super chilled atmosphere, as clothed or unclothed as you feel like.
Was sad to move on and will definitely be back!
