Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Located just off the N7200, The Portal at Witch Well is an off-grid retreat space in the high desert of Arizona. With stunning sunrises and sunsets, beautiful country views, and dazzling starry night skies, it's the perfect camping location to get away from it all. Bring your telescopes, astrology lovers! With virtually no light pollution, you can see nearly every star and planet in the sky. Don't have one? No problem—you can see the milky way galaxy with your naked eyes. More of a history buff? We have a canyon just 2 miles from the property, with ancient petroglyph carvings from the Native Americans who used to live here. With ample opportunities for beautiful hikes, off-roading trails, and a weekly Farmer's Market every Saturday, The Portal at Witch Well is a wonderful way to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Enjoy nature, serene views, and some glorious peace and quiet.Pitch your tent in an open field among wild Junipers and Sage Brush, with access to a fire ring and a trash can. This property is a retreat space in the making. We'll eventually have yoga, sound healing, meditations, and more. We're also building a geodesic Zome house at the top of the property, which you're more than welcome to tour! We're walking distance to a canyon hike, with ancient petroglyphs and mortar & pestle bowls ground into the rocks. Natural wildlife viewing includes Pronghorn antelope, jackrabbits, coyotes, round-tailed ground squirrels, and many bird species including hummingbirds, bluebirds, ravens, and more. With virtually no light pollution, you can see the Milky Way galaxy with your naked eye. It's a stargazers paradise! Trust me when I say the sunrises and sunsets out here are unmatched. This is truly beautiful & serene countryside. Finally, we are just an hour's drive from the Petrified Forest National Park.
