We offer a RURAL, rustic camping experience. Our property is off-grid thus we cannot offer you any sort of facilities or services at this time. We chose Outpost in our name because we believe it provides an accurate description: An outpost is a remote, isolated station, settlement, or camp located at a distance from the main body.
Our property is 7.4 miles down a dirt Indian Route road through a significant wash and while 4 wheel drive is ideal, you can make it in nice weather conditions without 4 wheel drive. Keith’s sister made it in her Chevrolet Sonic, for example. Large RVs may scrape along the way; we did with our 40' fifth wheel.
Our 60 acre property offers a unique experience for those looking for a place to unplug and explore with plenty of privacy and room to roam. You'll enjoy incredible views of the Painted Desert, Gray Mountain, and the San Francisco peaks. The night skies will be unlike anything you’ve seen unless you have been in the middle of the ocean with no light pollution.
Some important things to note about our property:
Our property will always and forever be a Safe Place for all people. We hold no prejudices regardless of race, ethnicity, or creeds. Our guests will always be respected, loved and welcome and it must be that way with other guests.
We are a clothing optional campground, which means you may, if you so choose, be naked on our property.
We are pet-friendly. We have two medium size puppies. Let's ensure our furry friends have as much fun as we are having by keeping them on a leash and we clean up after them. We also wouldn't want them to chase away the wild mustangs, which are beautiful to see in full gallop, that will come through the property from time to time.
NOTICE: As a rural desert location you or your pet may encounter wildlife (nice and not so nice ones) while on the property or hiking around in the wilderness.
We hope you want to disconnect. While Starlink is available, your cell phone likely will not have service.
Distances to points of interest:
We are located 50 miles (1 hour) northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.
13 miles to Cameron, Arizona (Navajo Nation)
37 miles to Wupatki National Monument.
38 miles to Tuba City, Arizona (Navajo Nation)
42 miles to Grand Canyon National Park (south rim).

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.

I’ve stayed here previously with the prior ownership, but the new owners are trying to build upon what the prior ones built
The new owners are cutting new trails across the property making it easier to traverse. But still so isolated and beautiful.

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.

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.

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.
