Back to basics with endless desert sky. Hike giant rock sculptures, gather petrified wood, maybe find the hidden pond or seasonal Little Colorado to splash in . Bathed in the Canyon's ethereal ambiance, powdery views of Navajo Plateau and snowy San Francisco Peaks await. This is “Stone Soup,” in honor of unique geology and a folktale where everyone brings something to make a whole greater than its parts. A hut, built with love during musical campouts, materials are recycled from building sites may be available, on a first-come first serve basis, but please don't count on anything being there but the open land and sky. There are 40 acres to explore and camp on. You can follow the property boundaries, or just head straight out from the hut away from the road or on the other side of the road for at least half a mile and camp anywhere. You can drive all over the land in a regular vehicle and find your spot. If you do use the hut, please leave it in better shape than you found it. Same with the land. Here is my vision: Adventurous, creative, nature-loving kindred souls can converge on these 40 acres and bring what they need but also share with one another (the stone soup spirit). Although you do need to take in and out everything (water, food, bedding...) and there is no outhouse at the moment (dunes for some privacy, and thinly bury your waste), you can drive anywhere on the land and have what you need in your vehicle. It sometimes gets windy, so car-camping is recommended over tents, though you can also bring your RV. Basically at the moment, this is an isolated, wild campsite, with total peace and quiet but where you bring everything. There is no running water, cooking supplies, or toilet. You may find firewood further down the road, and can have a fire anytime, but nothing is supplied. You will need to take your trash with you. The photos are not up to date and still show amenities that are not there. The hut may be available, but it is just a structure with no door. Also note that there is no way to get there with Google maps/ GPS coordinate. I will send detailed directions if you book, but you probably want to arrive with some daylight. If prepared to rough it, it's a gorgeous site with open sky, amazing views, stars, rocks, and silence.

The site was remote, the kids loved wondering the dunes and nearby rock formations. The night sky was brilliant. Bring a UV light and look for glow in the dark scorpions.

I love the camp site. It’s a lil outdated but everything works well. The shower are and bathroom are clean. They have a wash area with good pressure, a dump station, potable water and they also have cottages and some wagon like cabin.

Great facilities with 2 shower blocks and a pool. Very easy check in and quiet although close to the road. No eating facilities on-site, with loads of choice 5min drive away this was not an issue. Would use again whenever in Page.

Nice place to stay on our road trip across country. I didnt realize there was a hot tub. That was a nice surprise after climbing through Antelope Canyon. The campground was close to Antelope Canyon and to Horseshoe Bend. It was also close enough to The Grand Canyon for a day trip. The sites were level and not right on top of each other. They had a laundry, but it was being renovated so it was out of order.

Great location and wonderful staff! It’s an older place but that doesn’t mean it’s not great! It surely was. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the gym. The restrooms and showers were plentiful and clean. My son liked the playground and we both enjoyed the beautiful views. Lots of space for rv’s and full hook ups. Great rates and we will definitely come back again!
