Meteor Crater Camp in Arizona
Host Richard Johnson says:
The dirt road that runs north from the I-40 exit is straight and relatively flat. I drove to the property in a low 2 wheel drive car with no problem. So a large RV should have no problem getting to the camp. Rainfall is very minimal. 79 acres sitting at 4900 foot high desert elevation. Stargaze with only light from your campfire. Distant mountain views (West) towards Flagstaff. The property is completely natural/primitive with natural scrub and tumbleweeds. Beautiful shallow canyons run North to South. One of the largest Meteors hit the Earth millions of years ago less than 3 miles from this primitive/ natural camp!! Yes there are pieces of that meteor, if you look real hard you might see them on property. What a great experience for your kids! I will allow you to take a small souvenir if you stay 2 or more days! Be careful those pieces are from OUTER SPACE! Also the Navajo reservation borders the property on the north, with a barbed wire fence.
Meteor Crater National Landmark is literally 6 miles Southwest (as the Raven fly's). Petrified Forest National Park is 35 miles East on I-40. Walnut National Monument is 36 miles West. Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument is 46 miles West on I-40 then North on 89. There are several old Navajo and Indian Ruins and early 1900s settlement ruins within a 40 minute drive. God Speed, Have Fun and Be Carefull!
