Used it as my overnight after spending a day at Petrified National Forest.
Really nice and isolated spot. Far enough away from the other two tents at the site to feel like I had real privacy. Comfortable bed (if you're very tall, you would have to sleep curled up, but I had no trouble). Host was responsive when I arrived at the site and couldn't find my padlock code, as well.

I was a little nervous camping alone but so happy I did. The set up was perfect, especially for a person traveling with just a car and sleeping bag. The tent was locked and a heater, flashlights, lamp, table and sleeping bags were provided. Everything was very clean, including the outhouse. I also enjoyed the hammock and fire pit while star gazing. Enir was friendly and very fast answering my Qs. Highly recommend!

Overall the set up looked amazing! Location was a quick 15 minutes from Petrified Forest National Park. Unfortunately there was a strong wind advisory and I opted to not stay at the accommodation. Still would recommend on a less windy day!

Unreal views of the sky
The sunset, stars, and sunrise the morning after we’re some of the best I have ever witnessed - simply breathtaking! The tent was much warmer and the bed was much comfier than our usual set up. Everything was very clean and well thought out. We felt safe and would definitely return!

Great stay near Petrified Forest NP
Clean, unique tent out in open land. Perfect spot for viewing the stars and decompressing. A nice touch that Einar included a portable heater in this cold November weather!
The drive there was straightforward and the dirt road (about 1 mile) was easily reachable in most cars (mine has 5.5 inch clearance and made it there no problem) when the ground is dry.
If you drive an EV, there are multiple charging stations within 30 miles of your stay (Tesla, ChargePoint, and Blink).
I'd highly recommend staying at Starlight Tents for a great off-grid experience!

Einar's directions were easy to follow and I found the place with no problems. I did not see Einar during my stay as you do not meet up with the host upon arrival. You go straight to your tent. But Einar did communicate with me via text several times. The Starlight tent was quite comfortable and cozy. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and sleeping bags available to keep you warm. There was also a Little buddy heater and propane provided for use as needed. There were a couple of chairs in the tent along with a lantern and a flashlight. There was a hanging, solar powered light that would last a little while before going out after dark. There are solar lights around the tent and near the outhouse so that you could find your way easily after dark. The outhouse was very clean and even smelled clean!
There is a comfortable hammock to relax in near the tent.
You are out in the open in a large field and so you do get a good bit of wind at times. But it died down both nights after the sun set. I saw an amazing sunset the first night there. My second night there was great for stargazing and the hammock was the perfect spot for that!
I could hear dogs barking and cows mooing occasionally in the distance but they were far enough away that they didn't bother me or keep me awake. And I could hear trains go by in the distance but I have always liked the sound of trains.
Petrified Forest National Park is only about 25 minutes away so this is a great place to stay if you want to explore the park!

Worked great for what we needed.
Felt like we were away from everything which is what we were after. A heater was supplied which was great just to take a bit of the chill off, though we didn’t use it as much as some might. Only thing we didn’t expect was hearing the train running at night but not a huge issue to us, might be to some.

What a great base camp for visiting the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert! The bed was very comfortable and we really appreciated the solar-powered light for nighttime reading. The stars - and Milky Way - were as advertised. Over all, an A-plus experience. Thanks, Einar.

Luxury and an endless sky
This is the most luxurious tent camping experience we've had! The bed is very comfortable, and the tent spacious. I loved the extra touches.
Everything was sparkling clean.

Clean, comfortable, and many extras
The tent was clean, roomy, and the bed so comfortable! We loved it!! Private and perfect. It is the best option for camping or one-night layovers.

Amazing stay!
Loved this experience! Completely isolated from the city so we could see the stars so boldly at night. So peaceful and loved the cattle free lancing around us!

Stayed in this well prepped and conveniently located, quiet spot the night before our visit to Petrified Forest & Painted Desert on a long road trip. It was terrific to be so close to the hikes we wanted to do the next day. We were able to enjoy the scenery in the park in the morning before it got crowded and hot.

The tent are well equipped, located in an open field, far from the city. You really feel in another world and truly enjoy the starlight. Einar was extremely available and responsive. We had a very nice time in the tent.

I can’t recommend this tent enough! It was right in the middle of a field so the sky was great for star gazing, it felt remote and there weren’t people near by which made the experience all the more better. I will definitely stay here again when I come out to Holbrook again

Super cool experience
One of the forewarned monsoons came in and it was cloudy while I was awake. Just no that going in but instead of stars I got some cool shots of the lightning when the storm past. VERY COOL

You should stay here!!!!!
Brilliant.
A bit hot when we arrived, but the wind was quite strong and kept it reasonable. And it cooled down significantly once the sun went down.
The tent was clean and inviting, and although yes, there is a portaloo, it’s the damned cleanest, freshest smelling portaloo I’ve ever been in!
The really puts in the effort to make this place welcoming.
And of course the stars were amazing, and we got to listen to the odd train rumble by in the distance during the night. Fantastic.
If I could offer only one suggestion, it would be to add a permanent camping table/bench. Not everyone is well equipped enough to bring their own along.
:)
Thanks again!

Easy and simple stay. Check in was easy using a Google Maps. There is a bit of primitive road that you have to drive on, but not much. The port a potty was very clean which made it enjoyable. The hammock was also a great plus. Einar provides two chairs and a small foldable table, and a small air mattress. Would stay again to look for the stars!

Great thoughtful little amenities
Beautiful, loved the little thoughtful amenities. Didn't see the see stars because of clouds, but our whole trip was cooler because of the cloud cover, so I won't complain. We were halfway on our trip to the Grand Canyon. It was so easy and lovely to just get out of the car, and not worry about unpacking much of anything.

Secluded with nice amenities.
Nice tent set up. We were able to put another queen inflatable next to the provided bed and still had room to move around.
The spot is remote but was great for nighttime photography. So many stars and Milky Way was visible. There is a little market convenient store at the main highway exit - so you aren’t totally away from everything if you forget something.
Though I never met the host - we had all the info we needed for a great stay. Would do it again for sure

Great setup. The tent was very nice and comfortable. The host communicated all necessary information in a very timely manner. There was a convenience store nearby in case you needed supplies. There were a few amenities in the tent itself (paper towels, hand sanitizer, etc.) and it was overall a very nice stay. The bathroom was also very clean.
