4.9mi from Yarnell · 51 sites · RVs

Nestled in a breezy valley below Rich Hill in Yavapai County, AZ, Stanton Camp sits just six miles below Yarnell and 10 miles northwest of Congress. Once a booming gold mining town known as Antelope Station, Stanton rose to prominence in 1863 with the discovery of gold. Today, the area remains a haven for gold prospectors, hikers, and ATV enthusiasts, all drawn to the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Stanton Camp is rich with history and charm. The camp’s buildings, once part of a bustling gold rush town, now serve as hubs for modern activities. The former stage stop and home of Charlie Stanton; infamously killed in a violent confrontation; now houses the Camp Office. The Stanton Hotel has been repurposed into a Library, a two-room museum, and a camp kitchen, each offering glimpses into the past. Meanwhile, the Opera House, rebuilt after a fire in 1910, serves as a gathering place for camp activities. From October through May, Stanton Camp comes alive with events, combining gold prospecting, mining activities, and opportunities to explore the surrounding desert. Whether you’re searching for gold or simply enjoying the trails, wildlife, and history, Stanton Camp offers an unforgettable experience. Amenities Highlight o Full hookup RV sites & dry camping - long-term and short-term o Gold Panning Station o Craft Barn & Makers Shop o 3 Laundry Facilities o Weekly social activities

This place was amazing! It was very peaceful and beautiful. It was fun having Jefferies’s two great Pyrenees, three goats and six chickens. It made me a little less homesick😀 We would definitely go back again.

Great setup for the RV with full hookup. We enjoyed the solitude. The grounds are exceptionally kept and while we spent a lot of time in Phoenix there are lawn games, board games and a workout area to use. We received some eggs from the chickens too!

Jeff’s campground was exactly what we needed. It was SUPER safe feeling with its locking gates, had fantastic amenities like a hot outdoor shower, bathrooms, fruit trees and a hot tub, and Jeff and his wife were so friendly but left you to enjoy your own experience. My daughter and I felt the rules were easy to abide by, and it was great that Jeff gave us a tour of the property and explained how everything worked. I would stay here again and highly recommend this stay.

We couldn’t have asked for a better first stay! Jeffrey was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our visit. The property itself is beautiful, the hot tub was spotless, and the campsite was cozy and comfortable. Our dog loved playing in the dog park and being around the other animals. Jeffrey truly set the bar high for Hipcamp stays. We highly recommend this spot and look forward to staying here again the next time we’re passing through Phoenix!
