Our stay at Sacred Spring was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, our hosts Gary and Daren were exceptional — incredibly kind, thoughtful, and great communicators both before and during our visit. They went above and beyond to help us celebrate my birthday weekend with family, making extra accommodations that made the trip feel truly special.
The property itself is magical. The sunsets were breathtaking, the land peaceful and full of beauty. We loved exploring the hike down to the canyon and creek — it felt like a hidden paradise. The paddle boards and kayak added so much fun to our days, and every part of the stay felt relaxing and rejuvenating.
You can tell Gary and Daren pour their hearts into this place. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and serenity. We can’t wait to come back! 🌿✨

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sacred Springs. Gary and Daren have created a very special place with great energy. You can tell they love this place and want their guests to enjoy it as much as they do.
They are happy to make recommendations for great hikes and adventures in the local area or you can just hang out and swim, kayak or paddle board in their beautiful creek front riparian area.
My only concern was the proximity to the freeway and the noise associated with it. But I can honestly say that it didn’t bother me or keep me up at all. If anything it was a nice reminder to be grateful that I was chillin’ at Sacred Springs rather than out there on the roads.
I am already looking forward to my next visit to the area, and staying again at Sacred Springs.

2 nights at Sacred Springs-Private creek access
Gary and Daren are living their dream and it shows in every detail. The bathroom and showers were clean and stocked, the coffee selection was outstanding, they have everything you need to good a good meal and we even told him the ladder golf needed fixing and he had it fixed within hours. I literally didn’t want to leave. It’s an absolutely magical here and I feel grateful I was able to experience all this beauty. Also the creek was beautiful and refreshing! We’ll definitely be back!

Love love love!! This was one of the best campsites I’ve managed to stay at during my travels. Lovely hosts, great bathroom with overhead shower, clean toilets, a super cool communal room with coffee and cooled water cooler, along with cooking materials for the onsite grill. Lots of cool trails, fauna and flora plus tons of hummingbirds and other wildlife to see. The creek was pretty and everything was very peaceful and quiet. The gravel roads to get there were totally worth every minute. Thanks so much Gary and Daren! I’ll be back here next time I’m in Sedona 🩷

We had a blast at Secret Springs, lovely maintained land and tons of amenities. We came from a long hike in Grand Canyon and got fully recharged on the land of Gary and Daren. Next morning we had tons of fun in the creek with the canoes and the natural water swimming. Highly recommended stay!

Gary and Darren were phenomenal hosts. The campsite is amazing and I couldn’t recommend more. We ran into some trouble with the heavy rain and Gary went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. There’s a reason they have so many great reviews. We WILL be coming back!

Such a great experience. Bought some fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast. Saw some otter prints down by the grotto. Jumped in the water in the morning and it was super cool and refreshing

Gary and Daren are the absolute definition of hospitable! Between the amenities of the community room (aka anything and everything you would need to cook a meal) and the thoughtful layout of the campsites, we immediately felt at home. Likewise, the beauty and tranquility of the creek/grotto was beyond our expectations. We already can’t wait for our next visit to Sacred Springs! Thank you both!

Gary and Daren have made Sacred Springs a really enjoyable place to stay. They were extremely helpful during our stay, and there are several trails and different areas of creek that provide a lot to relax and explore. Would love to visit again in the future!

With kids
This RV was a great getaway for me and my 10 yr old grandson. We were looking for someplace to go to get out of the city. This was just what we needed. It did rain the whole weekend so we weren’t able to enjoy the surroundings and all that was offered, but it still worked out great for us. We had a day trip planned for other activities that were close by. We brought some games with us to play in the evening. The area was peaceful and clean. Christina’s was aavailable to help us as needed. Over all it was a great experience.

1 night at Sacred Springs-Private creek access
What an incredible stay at the eagle eye! The whole property is incredible and I’d recommend it for tent camping too. The hosts are awesome, the Eagle eye itself was super unique and comfy, and I definitely recommend using the trails. After a heavy rain there were otters in the creek :) Easily the best hipcamp I’ve stayed at.

Gary & Daren have a great retreat and have built it out nicely with all of the amenities. Great views, swimming in the creek was great and have a lot to offer in general. Highway noise can be a bit much for us personally but in general they have put a lot of love into the property and super nice hosts.

We loved our stay at Cliffside Camp! Perched above Wet Beaver Creek, the site had breathtaking views of the cliffs, grotto, and water below. Our camper van fit perfectly, and we appreciated the picnic table and fire pit with chairs… it made the evening so cozy.
Gary and Daren were warm and welcoming, and the amenities were excellent, from the outdoor solar shower to the clean restrooms and community spaces. This was our second night at Sacred Springs (our first was at Eagle Eye), and both spots felt thoughtfully designed and cared for.
Highly recommend this beautiful property for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic stay with a perfect mix of comfort and nature.🌵🪄

4 nights at Creekside Retreat on 3 Acres!
This house is a wonderful base for exploring the Sedona area. It’s convenient to CottonWood, Camp Verde, the Village of Oak Creek, and anywhere in Sedona, which is just within a 30-minute drive away. The deck and creekside are my favorite spots—we enjoyed breakfast by the water in the mornings, and after a full day of exploring, we relaxed on the deck in the evening, cooking dinner and sipping tea or coffee. It felt so peaceful and cozy. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the property has BBQ grills both in the yard and on the deck, along with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The host also provides plenty of privacy, making the place feel like your own. If I return to Sedona, I would absolutely stay here again.

I loved camping here! The amenities were so nice and their property is dreamy. We could’ve spent the entire day on their property exploring and enjoying the views. Plus they had a solar shower that was quite lovely. Couldn’t recommend staying here enough! Clean, and so nice!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Springs-Private creek access
We stayed at Sacred Springs – Eagle Eye on our Sedona road trip, and it was such a special experience. Eagle Eye itself is a cozy sauna converted into a bedroom, overlooking the beautiful Montezuma Lake — the view alone is worth it! ✨
The grounds were incredibly well thought out, with unique little campsites spread throughout, each cared for with so much intention. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the lighting around the property made it feel both safe and magical at night.
The shared amenities were excellent — from the community room with a fridge, to the solar shower, regular shower, and clean bathrooms (such a gift after a long day of hiking in Sedona!).
The hosts were warm and welcoming, and you could tell how much love has been put into this place. It was about a 45-minute drive for us to get into Sedona, which was perfect since we got both the quiet lakeside retreat and easy access to all the red rock adventures.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something serene, beautiful, and thoughtfully created. 🌿

Where to go
Northern Arizona
Stretching across the Colorado Plateau, Northern Arizona is the lushest part of the state, with a mix of lakes, mountains, ponderosa pine forests, and desert landscapes. Sedona and nearby Flagstaff are both within this region's boundaries, as is Grand Canyon National Park. Campers have options here, with campsites available in Pine Flat Campground, Manzanita Campground, and Cave Springs Campground. Dispersed camping areas also dot the Coconino National Forest.
Central Arizona
South of Sedona, Central Arizona offers a mix of wilderness areas and big cities, notably the Phoenix metropolitan area. It's also home to the Montezuma Castle National Monument, a short drive from Sedona in the town of Camp Verde, as well as Kartchner Caverns State Park.
Southern Arizona
For a taste of the Old West, head to Southern Arizona, where you'll find a mix of historic sites, ghost towns, and even wineries. Highlights for nature lovers include the cactus-filled Saguaro National Park in the Sonoran Desert and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, just outside of Tucson.
When to go
Sedona is at its busiest during the summer months, when it plays host to all sorts of cultural and music festivals. However, this time of year is also hot, and temperatures of over 100°F are common. If the combination of heat and crowds sounds less than ideal, consider visiting in early spring or late autumn, when temperatures are hot but not scalding. Winter is also a good option, when daytime highs hover in the 60s.
