Harmony Acres is a small, relaxed family farm in the high desert near the red rocks of Sedona, AZ. We love to host nature and animal loving people that want a taste of country life. Our guests often become our good friends. We have the friendliest farm animals that you can meet and greet, and you can help around the farm if you want to participate or learn.
Our sunsets and night star-gazing are just spectacular and we're enough off the beaten path that there's no crowds or traffic to deal with, but you are close to dining and area attractions.
This is a quiet, rural neighborhood and a peaceful farm that borders the National Forest for easy hiking and few neighbors. The farm animals do cluck, crow, whinny, neigh, baa, bleat, squeal, and oink at various times, including early morning.
There is one mile of a somewhat bumpy gravel road with hills to reach our neighborhood, so please make sure you are ready for that and have adequate towing power. The nearest services and dining are 5 minutes away. We are about 25-30 minutes to Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek,
and the popular red rock hiking sites. There are many wineries and dining right down the road to enjoy.
1 hour to Flagstaff, 2 hours to Phoenix.

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.

I live in the Bradshaw mountains in central Arizona. It is about 80 miles north of Phoenix. Here we are at 5,500 ft in elevation, on 14 acres of land in open canopy forest with oak, ponderosa, juniper, and manzanita. We are ten miles from the closest town on a dirt road in the Prescott National Forest. The camping is primitive and there are many suitable places for you to put up a tent. We will provide a bucket with woodchips for your bathroom needs. This is an off-grid experience, please expect that there are no amenities. You will need to bring everything you need, including toilet paper! There are great hikes around us in the National Forest. If you like camping and hiking in a remote and rustic area, this is the place to be. You can bring your horse(s) if needed. I have a place for them to stay.

I live in the Bradshaw mountains in central Arizona. It is about 80 miles north of Phoenix. Here we are at 5,500 ft in elevation, on 14 acres of land in open canopy forest with oak, ponderosa, juniper, and manzanita. We are ten miles from the closest town on a dirt road in the Prescott National Forest. The camping is primitive and there are many suitable places for you to put up a tent. We will provide a bucket with woodchips for your bathroom needs. This is an off-grid experience, please expect that there are no amenities. You will need to bring everything you need, including toilet paper! There are great hikes around us in the National Forest. If you like camping and hiking in a remote and rustic area, this is the place to be. You can bring your horse(s) if needed. I have a place for them to stay.

My family and I truly loved this campsite. It was our kids’ very first camping adventure, and it exceeded all expectations. From the amenities to the beautiful views and easy hikes, everything was wonderful.
What made our stay especially memorable was how welcomed and cared for Laura and Bruce made us feel. Laura is incredibly kind and knowledgeable—she took the time to teach the kids about the animals and how to stay safe, and even let them tag along while she helped other campers. They adored her so much that they wanted her to join all of our activities!
Thank you both for such a special experience. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be back for more family adventures.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Extremely cute and comfortable space. Feels very private, despite having a house next door. The creek access saved our lives during the heat wave. We swam there and enjoyed nature watching every day. We saw two hawks, and one beautiful bobcat. This place is quiet and safe and full of thoughtful amenities. The host was also incredible and always helpful. The hottub and star gazing were also incredible. We will definitely be back!

Staying at Sacred Springs was a great getaway. They have everything you need for cooking. Gary and Daren were quickly responsive via messages and in-person to any questions we had. The bathroom and showers were nice and clean. Everything down to the seating arrangements across the land were thought out extensively for a perfect vacation.

What a unique surprise this was! The camp sites sit atop a cliff overlooking the spring and grotto. The swimming hole beneath is cold and refreshing-we had a ball taking a dip. Cool outdoor shower or more traditional as well as a sweet little community room with kitchen. Gary and Darren are so thoughtful and have little touches of creativity and care everywhere!

Sacred Springs is such a special spot. You can feel the peaceful energy of the land the moment you arrive. It’s beautiful, quiet, and the perfect place to unplug and spend time in nature.
The hosts have created such a thoughtful space for campers. There are paddle boards right by the water, fun rock painting, hot showers, and a fully stocked community room that makes everything feel comfortable and welcoming. It’s clear a lot of love has gone into making this place special for guests.
I absolutely loved my stay here and already can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for a peaceful and unique place to camp, Sacred Springs is a little gem. Highly recommend

Where to begin! From the moment we booked our site at Sacred Springs, Gary and Daren were thoughtful, communicative, flexible and seemingly the kindest hosts. While all that remained true throughout our stay, it doesn’t even begin to describe the level of wonderful that is Gary and Daren. They have expertly crafted the vibes at Sacred Springs - from your tour in the beginning, the lighting throughout the property at night, the beautiful walk down to the grotto, where you’re welcomed with art supplies and a craft table, down to the creek where you’ll find the most comfortable hammocks, a plethora of kayaks and paddle boards, and the most beautiful rock formations where the water reflects onto, in their community room they have thought of EVERYTHING you may need, the hot shower you can take or the refreshing solar shower (by the way, they provide towels and they smell SO GOOD), a pristine outdoor bathroom, the campsite was perfect - overlooking the ridge, equipped with multiple size grills for cooking over, they have created several sitting spaces around the property that are so intentional and perfect for sunrise, sunset, a romantic moment or simply a restful sit. We had the pleasure of chatting with Gary and Daren throughout our trip and they felt like friends we had known previously. I cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Sacred Springs. We left feeling rejuvenated and already planning our return. Thank you Gary and Daren for creating such a wonderful space 🤍

Mary was excellent to deal with as she got back to me right away every time I sent her a message. She was very, very flexible as well. A little bumpy to get to their place so bigger rigs might have a harder time, but we didn’t have a problem in our 24 foot motorhome. It is so peaceful and beautiful at their horse ranch. There is some hiking behind their house that Mary directed us to, and we had a nice evening hike and saw a beautiful sunset. I would absolutely recommend Mary’s place to everyone!

This is a large spot next to Gene’s property with great, easy access to the Verde River. You are in a rural neighborhood so not only do you have the river to lull you to sleep but you may hear cows, dogs and even a donkey every once in awhile. The spot is next to a road that is used by others taking advantage of the river but it is day use only so you do not get any road noise at night. There are plenty of cozy spots to pick on the property. If you have a trailer, you will need to do some leveling and backing up can be a bit tight. It is a great choice if you want to play in the Verde!
