Experience a truly unique stay at BoxCar 45‑707, a one-of-a-kind camping spot in Arizona that lets you sleep inside a retired Santa Fe Railroad boxcar. This vintage train car, a Model BX‑181 freight car built in May 1976, has been repurposed as a fun and quirky base for your desert adventure. Whether you’re traveling with a tent or an RV, this site offers a blend of classic outdoor camping with a nostalgic twist. Enjoy campfires under wide open skies and bring your pets along — this spot is pet-friendly and ideal for campers who love simplicity and character in their stay. The setting is perfect for adventurers and history lovers alike who want something different from the usual campsite. Located in a peaceful area of Arizona’s high desert, you’ll find plenty of space to relax, explore, and make lifelong memories around the fire and beneath the stars.
