Site #1 - Hidden Meadow

100% (4)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 30 ft
Site #1 is at the end of the road past the farm house and farm field. You must cross the creak and enter into a meadow surrounded by trees, steep canyon walls, and a running creak. This is the area closest to my favorite swimming hole. As you walk upstream it feels like you have entered a fairly tail and after a few hundred yards you will find your new favorite area to swim in Arizona. The creek after this area runs on bedrock and has smalls pool. The golden eagles that live in the canyon hunt and nest on the rock walls there.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
Site #11 is approximately 1/4 higher in elevation than the lower camp sites. There is a steeper road to access it. This is not a good place to bring a trailer. You will have very beautiful views of the entire canyon and this is a great place to star gaze.

Site #7 is the flat peninsula that over looks the twin waterfalls and largest swimming area of the canyon. It is the trail head to walk to the creak bottom, the base of the waterfalls, and swimming access. This trail is a few hundred yards long.

Site #2 - Waterfall Pasture
First: we have experienced no finer host than Andrew and his assistant Chad. Both are well at tuned to offering assistance or information when requested yet not once were they hovering. Second: and this is just our experience on one given weekend in May 2025. No question that the boys have put a lot of work into getting the road better than the original built over 100 years ago. You can see their work everywhere. And you can see the heavy duty equipment they’ve used as well. But it still is a bumpy road with some rocks you would not want to scrape the bottom of your vehicle. We did it in 2wd coming in, which is downhill predominantly and a bit of 4wd our way out as it lightly rained and we did not want to slip going uphill in our heavy sprinter van. I would gladly defer to Andrew‘s opinion as to what he has seen come in and out of that road of late. Next: if you like Arizona’s western history, this is quite a unique place because it’s been on private property for so long. The buildings are open to explore. Near the camp sites the relics to be spotted everywhere. Add an extra day if this your thing. Amazing how people lived just 100 years in our past. Camping spots: 2 thumbs up. Big spots that could easily host 3+ vehicles. We loved being right by the creek around the mature trees and massive boulders. Our two bird dogs romped and raced about the creek for hours with no ticks. Good trees for shade and hammocks. Bring some leveling blocks. Thx Andrew & Chad

Site #4 - Creek Side
Ash Creek was beautiful! Had a great night stay, spot #4. Creek wasn’t running and didn’t get a chance to hike down to the swimming holes, but the area was well maintained and had some tree coverage until the sun set behind the cliff to cast shade. Thank you Andrew and Chad!

Very cool private and remote location, beautiful canyon walls and charming restoration of ghost town. Roads are a bit rough, need high clearance vehicle. Great adventure!

Site #2 - Waterfall Pasture
Beautiful wide location along the creek. Great place to take a family. If you have little dogs, be aware there are Hawks.. They were eyeing my little pups.. just keep an eye out. It was a little rough driving into the location, but if you have an all wheel drive, you should be good. Chad, was the host on the land and he was pretty pleasant. We did a little hiking along the creek looking for the waterfall in the picture.. Unfortunately no waterfall to be found. We couldn't hike to far with our little pups.. It was soooo peaceful and quiet. My husband and I are looking to come back soon!

Site #1 - Hidden Meadow
My daughters and I camped at Ash Creek Canyon in our camper van. The spot was truly beautiful: a canyon with high walls and gorgeous rock formations, a cool creek with swimming holes and waterfalls, quiet and private camping spots, and many acres of places to hike, climb, and explore. We had an amazing swimming hole to ourselves and spent the afternoon swimming, climbing among the waterfalls, and sunning on the rocks. We made a fire at night and loved the complete darkness, quiet, and solitude.

Site #2 - Waterfall Pasture
Beautiful property!! Very quiet and relaxing! The waterfall is definitely seasonal but still beautiful land! Dogs off leash was a great aspect which allowed for plenty of exercise! Would recommend that you have a four wheel drive truck or at least all wheel drive suv with good ground clearance. The road coming into the spot was not for the faint of heart.
