This spacious land is over 4 acres of high desert with breathtaking 360 degree views.
Only 45 minutes from Flagstaff, 30 minutes from the historic Grand Canyon, and only 36 minutes from Williams, this property is in the middle of it all. There is so much potential for amazing adventures.
You could go fishing in Williams or have a snowball fight in Flagstaff. If you have never seen the Grand Canyon you are in for an ultimate life changing experience.
The dark night skies in this area may just keep you at camp. You can see every star out here and enjoy the escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With wide open spaces you have so much room to play.
The road to the property is about 0.8 miles and is considered dirt rugged. It will require you to so down under 5 miles an hour in a few places. You have the entire road to travel on and maneuver around the big bumps. I drive my car to the property ever time and don't have an issue if I slow down and go around large holes. If there is a recent storm in the area the road will be difficult to navigate.

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 have plans and will expand as we are able (like a sauna with a view).
Our property is, literally, 7.2 miles down a dirt Indian Route road through a wash and while 4 wheel drive is ideal and recommended, you can make it in nice weather conditions without 4 wheel drive. Keith’s sister made it in her Chevrolet Sonic, for example.
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.

Welcome to your slice of high desert heaven! Desert Sky Campground is our private piece of Earth nestled in between the south rim of the Grand Canyon/Kaibab National Forest and Flagstaff/Coconino National Forest. Feel free to pick your favorite spot on this nearly 5-acre canvas with a fantastic view of the San Francisco peaks that surround Flagstaff. Want to clear a space for your tent or RV? Go ahead and gently remove any small shrubs. Just remember to leave the bigger plants and trees standing tall.
The road leading here might be a bit bumpy, so a 4x4 with good clearance is your best bet. Now, let's talk about the real magic: no frills, just pure, untouched nature. Think of it as your own private BLM land. Please, treat it with respect. Pack out all your trash and minimize your impact. No bathrooms, no water, no electricity – just you, the stars, and the incredible outdoors. After a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring, come back to your campsite and enjoy the breathtaking night sky. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge.

Lot is RAW and UNDEVELOPED Land in the High Desert of Northern Arizona and it is level and flat with some clear areas and some areas with SageBrush. DO NOT BOOK if you are expecting a developed campground. This is a rural area with little services and the price reflects that. The proximity to the Grand Canyon is the draw here.

Turn LEFT onto Valle Rd from Highway 180, LEFT onto S Linger Lane, and LEFT onto Coronado Dr. Property will be on the LEFT hand side, at the end of Coronado Dr where it intersects with San Mateo Rd (SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd). Corner lot with a Power Pole, but no utilities connected. Lot is completely undeveloped with no utilites and is raw vacant land. Tent, RV or similar vehicle, or Car/Truck Parking ONLY. Leave no trace, do no litter and do not leave any garbage or any other physical objects on the land. 1 Site and therefore 1 guest/family per night. Note: There is only 1 site and this is the entire 1.14 Acre Lot, so guests may choose where to camp.

Bring your own bedding and an adventurous spirit, The Moonshiner awaits you!
This is a unique no-frills camping experience, a perfect place to unwind, unplug, and stargaze from the comfort of bed. You will need to bring everything you may need for camping, besides shelter.
Please read the entire description to make sure this is the right camping experience for you. It contains important information about what to expect, including condition of the local roads.
The Moonshiner is a vintage 1960's camper that has been lovingly renovated. She sleeps 2 people cozily on a shared pull out bed. There is no light pollution out here, so you can see the Milky Way most nights. Enjoy a huge skylight over the double bed for some of the best stargazing in the country!
The Moonshiner is set up on a private acre in a safe and peaceful neighborhood, approximately 30-40 minutes from the Grand Canyon (depending on your driving style and traffic).
Guests have full private access to the camper and the surrounding yard. The camper is on a private acre and it’s all yours to do your thing. Your privacy will always be respected, and the property is laid out to ensure that.
Please note that the camper does not lock from the outside, but you can lock yourself inside with a deadbolt.
This is a community run camper/campsite. Open communication really helps things run smoothly, please contact me if there are any issues regarding your stay. We are unable to offer refunds due to weather, cold temperatures, road conditions or if it wasn't as easy to find as you would have liked. This is a camping adventure, you may face challenges, PLEASE know what you're getting yourself into and come prepared!
Guests are responsible to bring whatever supplies you think you may need for a good camping experience, such as: water, food, sleeping bags and pillows, lantern, battery bank for charging devices, firewood and propane for the heater.

Great location near the Grand Canyon! Just an open piece of land for boondocking - there may be other campers present during your stay.
The stars and night sky out here are amazing and completely worth the trip.
**Please use the coordinates. The property is 40 minutes north of Williams. If your GPS takes you into Williams that is the wrong location.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The last one mile to the location is a bumpy dirt road. Imagine the worst road you’ve been on - this is slightly better and if this is the worst you’ve been on .. well then live a little.
In the past, some people complained about the dirt road not being in good shape due to rains. Please know that we are not responsible for or even aware of the road conditions to the property.
Unfortunately, the county has done no maintenance since the early 1990s and has no plans to. The quotes we have received to fix just the worst parts have been between $35,000 and $50,000.
Lastly, check the signs on the way in the area about fire danger and whether you are able to have a campfire or not. If you are allowed, please make sure to fully extinguish it.
We are working on bringing services and upgrades to the property. All money being earned will go towards this effort.

Enjoy campfires, mountain views and nature on this one acre property with easy access less than a mile from Highway 64. This campsite is 3.7 miles from Grand Canyon Junction for food, gas, water, and supplies, and 30 miles to Grand Canyon National Park.
There are two sites with fire pits and campfires are allowed but may be restricted during certain times when warm temperatures and high winds are forecasted. Please bring a shovel to clear the fire pit out if there is sand or leftover wood in it.

Welcome to your slice of high desert heaven! Desert Sky Campground is our private piece of Earth nestled in between the south rim of the Grand Canyon/Kaibab National Forest and Flagstaff/Coconino National Forest. Feel free to pick your favorite spot on this nearly 5-acre canvas with a fantastic view of the San Francisco peaks that surround Flagstaff. Want to clear a space for your tent or RV? Go ahead and gently remove any small shrubs. Just remember to leave the bigger plants and trees standing tall.
The road leading here might be a bit bumpy, so a 4x4 with good clearance is your best bet. Now, let's talk about the real magic: no frills, just pure, untouched nature. Think of it as your own private BLM land. Please, treat it with respect. Pack out all your trash and minimize your impact. No bathrooms, no water, no electricity – just you, the stars, and the incredible outdoors. After a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring, come back to your campsite and enjoy the breathtaking night sky. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge.

Lot is RAW and UNDEVELOPED Land in the High Desert of Northern Arizona and it is level and flat with some clear areas and some areas with SageBrush. DO NOT BOOK if you are expecting a developed campground. This is a rural area with little services and the price reflects that. The proximity to the Grand Canyon is the draw here.

Turn LEFT onto Valle Rd from Highway 180, LEFT onto S Linger Lane, and LEFT onto Coronado Dr. Property will be on the LEFT hand side, at the end of Coronado Dr where it intersects with San Mateo Rd (SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd). Corner lot with a Power Pole, but no utilities connected. Lot is completely undeveloped with no utilites and is raw vacant land. Tent, RV or similar vehicle, or Car/Truck Parking ONLY. Leave no trace, do no litter and do not leave any garbage or any other physical objects on the land. 1 Site and therefore 1 guest/family per night. Note: There is only 1 site and this is the entire 1.14 Acre Lot, so guests may choose where to camp.

Bring your own bedding and an adventurous spirit, The Moonshiner awaits you!
This is a unique no-frills camping experience, a perfect place to unwind, unplug, and stargaze from the comfort of bed. You will need to bring everything you may need for camping, besides shelter.
Please read the entire description to make sure this is the right camping experience for you. It contains important information about what to expect, including condition of the local roads.
The Moonshiner is a vintage 1960's camper that has been lovingly renovated. She sleeps 2 people cozily on a shared pull out bed. There is no light pollution out here, so you can see the Milky Way most nights. Enjoy a huge skylight over the double bed for some of the best stargazing in the country!
The Moonshiner is set up on a private acre in a safe and peaceful neighborhood, approximately 30-40 minutes from the Grand Canyon (depending on your driving style and traffic).
Guests have full private access to the camper and the surrounding yard. The camper is on a private acre and it’s all yours to do your thing. Your privacy will always be respected, and the property is laid out to ensure that.
Please note that the camper does not lock from the outside, but you can lock yourself inside with a deadbolt.
This is a community run camper/campsite. Open communication really helps things run smoothly, please contact me if there are any issues regarding your stay. We are unable to offer refunds due to weather, cold temperatures, road conditions or if it wasn't as easy to find as you would have liked. This is a camping adventure, you may face challenges, PLEASE know what you're getting yourself into and come prepared!
Guests are responsible to bring whatever supplies you think you may need for a good camping experience, such as: water, food, sleeping bags and pillows, lantern, battery bank for charging devices, firewood and propane for the heater.
Instead of a normal toilet, we have a compostable camping toilet. Just line the toilet bucket with a provided compostable bag, then put the bag in the compost bin on site before checking out.

Great location near the Grand Canyon! Just an open piece of land for boondocking - there may be other campers present during your stay.
The stars and night sky out here are amazing and completely worth the trip.
**Please use the coordinates. The property is 40 minutes north of Williams. If your GPS takes you into Williams that is the wrong location.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The last one mile to the location is a bumpy dirt road. Imagine the worst road you’ve been on - this is slightly better and if this is the worst you’ve been on .. well then live a little.
In the past, some people complained about the dirt road not being in good shape due to rains. Please know that we are not responsible for or even aware of the road conditions to the property.
Unfortunately, the county has done no maintenance since the early 1990s and has no plans to. The quotes we have received to fix just the worst parts have been between $35,000 and $50,000.
Lastly, check the signs on the way in the area about fire danger and whether you are able to have a campfire or not. If you are allowed, please make sure to fully extinguish it.
We are working on bringing services and upgrades to the property. All money being earned will go towards this effort.

Enjoy campfires, mountain views and nature on this one acre property with easy access less than a mile from Highway 64. This campsite is 3.7 miles from Grand Canyon Junction for food, gas, water, and supplies, and 30 miles to Grand Canyon National Park.
There are two sites with fire pits and campfires are allowed but may be restricted during certain times when warm temperatures and high winds are forecasted. Please bring a shovel to clear the fire pit out if there is sand or leftover wood in it.

There are no toilets or water so campers will need to bring their own accommodations. Pack in and pack out policy applies.
Please check if there are any fire restrictions at the time of your visit and always adhere to state and local fire restrictions.

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.
