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.

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 are a family-owned RV park and tiny home village located 50 minutes from the east entrance to Grand Canyon National Park and only 20 minutes north of Flagstaff, Arizona. Our family -- Adam, Shelley, Zoe, Ava, and Cairo -- purchased the RV park in 2021. The property was a trading post for decades but had fallen into disrepair. We have been busy painting, cleaning and improving the grounds to become a comfortable oasis for your family. Our location on US Hwy 89 on the east side of the highway is only a few miles from the breathtaking aspens of Lockett Meadow, the ruins of Wupatki National Monument and the lava flows at Sunset Crater. The park is a short drive to downtown Flagstaff, and on the way to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Moab and Durango. Stay the night or as long as you like! Drink in the hibiscus sunrises above the Painted Desert and relax into the long shadows of the San Francisco Peaks. Let us know if you want to borrow a telescope to explore the darkest night sky you have ever seen! We are excited to share our home with you!

45mi from Tusayan · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
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)

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 and other Tourist Attractions is the upside here.
1.14 Acre Parcel of land located near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon Junction, AZ. Located at the SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd, between Highway 180 and Highway 64. 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.

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.

We are a family-owned RV park and tiny home village located 50 minutes from the east entrance to Grand Canyon National Park and only 20 minutes north of Flagstaff, Arizona. Our family -- Adam, Shelley, Zoe, Ava, and Cairo -- purchased the RV park in 2021. The property was a trading post for decades but had fallen into disrepair. We have been busy painting, cleaning and improving the grounds to become a comfortable oasis for your family. Our location on US Hwy 89 on the east side of the highway is only a few miles from the breathtaking aspens of Lockett Meadow, the ruins of Wupatki National Monument and the lava flows at Sunset Crater. The park is a short drive to downtown Flagstaff, and on the way to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Moab and Durango. Stay the night or as long as you like! Drink in the hibiscus sunrises above the Painted Desert and relax into the long shadows of the San Francisco Peaks. Let us know if you want to borrow a telescope to explore the darkest night sky you have ever seen! We are excited to share our home with you!

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).

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 and other Tourist Attractions is the upside here.
1.14 Acre Parcel of land located near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon Junction, AZ. Located at the SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd, between Highway 180 and Highway 64. 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.

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.

Felt like I was far away from everything but wasn’t. I had a boondocking spot. Flat site. Nice big dog park. Great location north of flagstaff where there wasn’t many camping options. Clubhouse was set
With games, exercise equipment, washer and dryer, tv. Would be a great place to hide from the wind or cold weather if needed. Right next to the highway so some traffic noise. It wasn’t that bad except the occasional big truck. I’d definitely would stay again!

We loved our stay at Luciano’s place!! He was so nice and very helpful. We got in late at night, and he helped us drive up to the site and provided us with some solar lights and a portable toilet. The site was gorgeous, and remote enough to feel secluded and private, but also close enough to help in case we needed anything. I would 100% recommend staying here. It was very peaceful and a great reset. Our dogs loved the place too!

I enjoyed staying at this site. While the land isn’t developed in any way (as described!)- it was a soft landing for my tent. The directions were great, although I missed the initial turn off the highway the first time. (Give yourself time to signal and slow down when gps indicates the turn is approaching). There was a balloon marker for added reassurance that you’re on the right road. The GPS took me exactly to the 16’ opening which was also helpful. Most of my time was spent at the Grand Canyon but I enjoyed an amazing full moon upon my return to camp. It was also peaceful. Unlike other spots I’ve stayed at, it didn’t appear to be ‘close to the host’. That may be of interest to other solo travelers. That was not something I thought to inquire about prior to this experience. Well worth the stay, especially with the Grand Canyon within a 30 minute drive.
