For adults 18+ only. Hazardous terrain!! Welcome to Sacred Springs, a tranquil, getaway for adults seeking relaxation. This 8-acre haven is not suitable for children under 18 due to the natural terrain, river access, and steep cliffs.
Positioned between Montezuma Castle National Monument and Montezuma Well, Sacred Springs invites you to reconnect with yourself and the ancient beauty surrounding you.
A Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary
At Sacred Springs, you’re immersed in a thriving ecosystem:
River otters, beavers, and endangered fish grace our pristine waters.
Deer, raccoons, bobcats, and coyotes roam freely, alongside occasional elk, coatimundi, or mountain lions.
Birdwatchers can marvel at Black Hawks, falcons, eagles, ravens, and countless migratory species.
This is a sanctuary alive with the rhythms of nature, where life flows seamlessly between the seasons.
Witness Echoes of the Past
The land at Sacred Springs holds stories of prehistoric cliff-dwelling communities who farmed and thrived here. From our campsites, you’ll see and hear the highway which traces this ancient corridor’s path, a living reminder of those who once traversed this historical route.
The Spirit of Sacred Springs
Your journey begins as you enter this sacred river valley. A drive through desert vistas leads you along a primitive road to our serene oasis. From panoramic views atop the plateau to the soothing waters below, Sacred Springs offers a retreat like no other.
Relax in a hammock by the creek. Wander trails that wind through ancient landscapes. Marvel at sunsets painting the sky with vivid colors. Let the sound of the creek ground you in the timeless rhythms of the earth.
A Place of Reverence and Care
Sacred Springs is a space for beauty, renewal, and mindfulness. Steep cliffs and rugged terrain remind visitors to tread lightly and stay on marked trails. Each step is an opportunity to honor the land and the life it sustains.
A Central Gateway to Adventure
Sacred Springs is perfectly located near key attractions: Sedona Wolf Sanctuary (0.2 miles), Montezuma Castle (7 miles), Sedona/Village of Oak Creek (17 miles), and the Grand Canyon (130 miles).
Step into the timeless beauty of Sacred Springs—your sanctuary awaits.

Sacred Springs is truly one of those places that stays with your heart long after you leave. From the moment I arrived, I felt wrapped in peace, love, and nature’s magic. Being able to cook a meal in the community room made everything feel so homey and special — like gathering with family in the middle of the wilderness.
One of my favorite moments was getting to use the kayaks and paddle boards on the lazy river and in the grotto. Floating through that serene canyon water felt like stepping into a hidden paradise. And don’t even get me started on the fresh organic chicken eggs — absolutely delicious and such a beautiful touch of farm-to-table love!🍳
I also couldn’t resist the adorable Sacred Springs hat and sweatshirt — they’re not just cute, they feel like a little piece of this magical place I get to take home with me.🥰
Gary and Daren have created something truly sacred here — a place full of heart, beauty, and genuine care for every soul who visits. I’m so grateful for this experience and can’t wait to come back again and again. 💗

We had a lovely stay at Gary and Daren’s! The views were lovely, and there were lots of little nature walks around the area which were peaceful and quaint. The facilities were great! Hot showers, and a nice little common room with cooking facilities, water, towels, dishes, coffee, etc. Gary was very welcoming and accommodating. There’s lots of attention to detail and love invested in this space! We would definitely stay here again!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at sacred Springs. But before I get to the property, let me tell you about the hosts. We had first planned on going to the property a month ago and had some serious car troubles that made that journey impossible.
I’m pretty cynical, so typically anywhere that I’ve paid some amount of money to put a deposit down and circumstances have come up that impacted our ability to get somewhere ,not the place we were going, I usually just consider the deposit given as a loss. Never to be see again. “ thanks for playing, but sorry we have to keep your money because we are uncaring un-empathetic, greedy bastards.” That was not even remotely close to the experience we had BEFORE even making it there.
We reached out to inform Gary and Darrell that we would be unable to make it, sadly but would be looking forward to coming in the future. These remarkable gentlemen who were so kind throughout the entire communication process before we even booked, continued this kindness and added empathy and sympathy for our situation. Still emailing and talking to us while we were in the midst of a horrific experience with our vehicle, not near our home and dealing with the costs and every other negative you could have.
These two were like a ray of sunshine. Their gracious and sincere words in the emails and their hospitality and generosity is like nothing I’ve seen in years… decades even.
They refunded us and offered a complimentary stay.

Beautiful, well-maintained property overlooking I-17. My wife and I only stayed for a short time, but it was great! There was a hot shower and a flush toilet, which was a savior considering that our campervan's toilet wasn't working (don't rent a van from IndieCampers). There were a bunch of other amenities provided as well, and Gary was super nice and welcoming.
The ONLY thing I think could be improved is that my tired brain could not figure out which direction to turn the faucet in the shower for hot water, but that was mostly my fault 😁

Our group of 4 absolutely loved this beautiful campsite for its scenic views, spacious site, and fun trail that led down to the creek. We were happily surprised by all of the paddle boards and kayaks readily available for us to use as a group of 4 to explore the water and gorgeous fall colors!
Gary is hands down the best host with how attentive, caring, and kind he was to us. My husband and I didn’t have the best sleeping bags for the 40-degree nights, so Gary was kind enough to let us borrow 2 sleeping bags that allowed us to sleep so much better the second night of our stay. We cannot wait to come back to Sacred Springs again soon!

We had a great experience overall! Christine was flexible and understanding when we needed to change the dates of our stay. My daughter really enjoyed the property, especially the tire swing and hammock. It was a bit odd to us having a host on the property and around so much but Bill was helpful and friendly! Would recommend refinishing the benches and barstools on the deck as the wood was chipping in areas and could cause splinters. Some cushions on the benches would also add some more comfort but overall the deck was great for entertaining and relaxing. The inside was cozy and clean, had just the right amount of supplies for our stay. My daughter asked when we could go back before we even left, so we are looking forward to staying again sometime. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Sacred Spring was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, our hosts Gary and Daren were exceptional — incredibly kind, thoughtful, and great communicators both before and during our visit. They went above and beyond to help us celebrate my birthday weekend with family, making extra accommodations that made the trip feel truly special.
The property itself is magical. The sunsets were breathtaking, the land peaceful and full of beauty. We loved exploring the hike down to the canyon and creek — it felt like a hidden paradise. The paddle boards and kayak added so much fun to our days, and every part of the stay felt relaxing and rejuvenating.
You can tell Gary and Daren pour their hearts into this place. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and serenity. We can’t wait to come back! 🌿✨

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sacred Springs. Gary and Daren have created a very special place with great energy. You can tell they love this place and want their guests to enjoy it as much as they do.
They are happy to make recommendations for great hikes and adventures in the local area or you can just hang out and swim, kayak or paddle board in their beautiful creek front riparian area.
My only concern was the proximity to the freeway and the noise associated with it. But I can honestly say that it didn’t bother me or keep me up at all. If anything it was a nice reminder to be grateful that I was chillin’ at Sacred Springs rather than out there on the roads.
I am already looking forward to my next visit to the area, and staying again at Sacred Springs.

Gary and Daren are living their dream and it shows in every detail. The bathroom and showers were clean and stocked, the coffee selection was outstanding, they have everything you need to good a good meal and we even told him the ladder golf needed fixing and he had it fixed within hours. I literally didn’t want to leave. It’s an absolutely magical here and I feel grateful I was able to experience all this beauty. Also the creek was beautiful and refreshing! We’ll definitely be back!

Love love love!! This was one of the best campsites I’ve managed to stay at during my travels. Lovely hosts, great bathroom with overhead shower, clean toilets, a super cool communal room with coffee and cooled water cooler, along with cooking materials for the onsite grill. Lots of cool trails, fauna and flora plus tons of hummingbirds and other wildlife to see. The creek was pretty and everything was very peaceful and quiet. The gravel roads to get there were totally worth every minute. Thanks so much Gary and Daren! I’ll be back here next time I’m in Sedona 🩷

We had a blast at Secret Springs, lovely maintained land and tons of amenities. We came from a long hike in Grand Canyon and got fully recharged on the land of Gary and Daren. Next morning we had tons of fun in the creek with the canoes and the natural water swimming. Highly recommended stay!
