Located inside the boundaries of the Kaibab National Forest, only 25 minutes south of the Grand Canyon, and less than 75 yards off the highway, the Off Grid B and B is a real escape, offering star-lit skies, sunny days, and total seclusion. We host RVs, tent campers, safari tent glampers and even a selection of cabins, in the high desert foothills of Northern Arizona.
All of our guests get access to hot showers, a clean and private lavatory, and a large fire pit with locally mined flagstone benches under the shadow of two pinion pines. For side-by-sides and four-wheeler fanatics, there are hundreds of miles of back country trails literally connected to the driveway of this property. Epic hikes abound less than a half-hour in every direction.
We are pet-friendly, offer pet-sitting services, bundles of hardwood for the campfire, and even laundry services for extended stays.

1 night at Highland Grand Canyon Glamping
We loved staying at Highland. The hosts have really put so much effort into sharing the beautiful land they're on with others, including water and power. The showers were super clean and comfortable and the beds super clean and cozy as well. Keep in mind the temperature extremes - I think the tent heated up too quickly in the morning/early afternoon and it got very cold at night. Fortunately the tent has a heated mattress that kept us warm!
Finally, try to book a stay during a cleared sky new moon night. You won't forget the sight of the Milky Way from here.
