Beall’s B&B camp | Earth-Based Holistic Wellness & Sacred Rest
Beall’s B&B camp is an off-grid, earth-based wellness campground rooted in respect for the land and the ancient ways of living in balance with nature. This space was created as a place of rest, remembrance, and reconnection, guided by indigenous-inspired values of stewardship, simplicity, and sacred relationship with the Earth.
Our land is cared for with intention and gratitude. We honor natural rhythms, quiet living, and mindful presence. Guests are invited to slow down, unplug, and experience the grounding energy of the land — whether through stillness, ceremony, or simply listening to the wind and wildlife.
We offer handcrafted, natural earth medicines made in small batches using plant wisdom, traditional techniques, and deep respect for the healing properties of nature. These offerings are available on-site for those who feel called to support their personal wellness journey.
This is a CBD-friendly space with a discreet, respectful approach to THC-aware wellness, aligned with rustic, ceremonial, and nature-honoring values. We ask all guests to remain mindful, low-impact, and respectful of the shared sacred environment.
Beall’s B&B camp welcomes those seeking sacred rest, soulful quiet, and a deeper connection to the land. This is not a party campground — it is a place to walk gently, rest deeply, and leave the land as you found it.
May the land receive you kindly.
May your rest be deep and your spirit steady.
May you leave lighter than you arrived.

Chevelon Canyon Highlands

Welcome to the edge of the high desert.
Set at the very end of a quiet dirt road, this 230-acre private property offers rare access to vast open space, dramatic canyon views, and true solitude. Located about 30 minutes off pavement, the drive in is part of the experience. A medium-clearance vehicle is recommended, though high-clearance 4x4 is not required. The final mile becomes a bit rough at a few spots that cross sandstone, but there are no major obstacles for a standard truck or SUV. Off-road or higher-clearance travel trailers are welcome, provided they are not excessively long or low to the ground.
The land itself is expansive and immersive. With over a mile of Chevelon Creek forming the southern boundary, the property drops into a massive canyon with 300-foot cliffs, sweeping views, and a sense of scale that feels more like a national park than private land. Advanced rock climbers have quietly begun establishing rappel routes and sport climbs into the canyon. While climbing access is informal and at your own discretion, the remoteness and openness of the area has long made it a haven for experienced adventurers.
To the north, the property borders a large stretch of BLM land, offering endless room to explore, hike, and roam without crowds. Despite the size and openness, the land feels remarkably private. There are no neighbors in sight, no traffic, and no noise beyond wind, birds, and the canyon below.
This is a place for those seeking something rare:
– Overlanders looking for space, views, and quiet
– Adventurers and climbers drawn to wild terrain
– Retreat groups wanting privacy, inspiration, and room to breathe
– Anyone craving the feeling of being far away, without being unreachable
If you’re looking for polished amenities and tight campsites, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for scale, silence, stars, and a landscape that stops you in your tracks, you’ve found something special.

Great space and when I pulled in the neighbor even offered to let me use his well to fill up my water! Just stayed for the night but the canyon is near by and is really cool. Would stay again if I’m passing through!

Loved her place! She was very nice and has a great setup. It's somewhat remote so it's nice and quiet and the stars were great. The dirt road in was no issue at all though, definitely recommend for a nice getaway and the area is great. Went to the Petrified Forest nearby. Highly recommended :)

We have a TAB 320s boondock trailer and couldn’t wait to get out “away from it all.” Well, Paula’s campsites are just that!! The site was pretty much level, free of clutter, has a porta-pot on site, a fire ring, and if requested, firewood. The area also has a small canyon/creek, a small natural arch, and interesting rock formations as you drive in. The roads are a bit rough but worth it being 21 miles outside of Winslow, AZ.
Thanks Paula for a great camping spot. We will definitely stay again!!!!

We loved our stay!
The cabin is comfortable and well equipped. Having a full bathroom, running water, and lights is a luxury! Ross is a great host. His advice and directions were helpful. We have a high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle so we were able to get to the cabin without any difficulty. We can’t wait to return!

This place is a gem. Nani is very welcoming, the land and stars are beautiful, and her "treehouse" was available and cozy on a cold night. The main road driving in is well-graded dirt/clay. Just watch out for cows. Don't be in any rush, chat with Nani, learn about the place and respect the spot 🫶 Can't wait to come back in the future :)
