We are a family-owned RV park and Tiny Home Glampground located 50 minutes from the east entrance to Grand Canyon National Park and only 20 minutes north of Flagstaff, Arizona. Our family -- Adam, Shelley, Zoe, Ava, and Cairo -- purchased the RV park in 2021. The property was a trading post for decades but had fallen into disrepair. We have been busy painting, cleaning and improving the grounds to become a comfortable oasis for your family. Our location on US Hwy 89 on the east side of the highway is only a few miles from the breathtaking aspens of Lockett Meadow, the ruins of Wupatki National Monument and the lava flows at Sunset Crater. The park is a short drive to downtown Flagstaff, and on the way to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Moab and Durango. Stay the night or as long as you like! Drink in the hibiscus sunrises above the Painted Desert and relax into the long shadows of the San Francisco Peaks. Let us know if you want to borrow a telescope to explore the darkest night sky you have ever seen! We are excited to share our home with you!

We offer a RURAL, rustic camping experience. Our property is off-grid thus we cannot offer you any sort of facilities or services at this time & your cell may not be 100% useful. We chose Outpost in our name because we believe it provides an accurate description: a remote, isolated station, settlement, or camp located at a distance from the main body.
Our property is 7.4 miles down a dirt Indian Route through a significant wash and while 4 wheel drive is ideal, you can make it in nice weather conditions without 4 wheel drive. Keith’s sister made it in her Chevrolet Sonic, for example. Large RVs may scrape along the way; we did with our 40' fifth wheel.
Our 60 acre property offers a unique experience for those looking for a place to unplug and explore with plenty of privacy and room to roam. You'll enjoy incredible views of the Painted Desert, Gray Mountain, and the San Francisco peaks. The night skies will be unlike anything you’ve seen unless you have been in the middle of the ocean with no light pollution.
Some important things to note about our property:
Our property will always and forever be a Safe Place for all people. We hold no prejudices regardless of race, ethnicity, or creeds. Our guests will always be respected, loved and welcome and it must be that way with other guests.
We are a clothing optional campground, which means you may be naked on our property.
We are pet-friendly. We have two medium size puppies. Let's ensure our furry friends have as much fun as we are having by keeping them on a leash and we clean up after them. We also wouldn't want them to chase away the wild mustangs, which are beautiful to see in full gallop.
NOTICE: As a desert location you may encounter wildlife (nice and not so nice) while on the property hiking around. We have seen pacific gopher snakes, non-venomous snake that eats rodents and has similar markings to rattlesnakes, which are also present. A triangle head means venomous. Listen carefully while hiking around.
Distances to points of interest:
We are located 50 miles (1 hour) northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.
13 miles to Cameron, Arizona (Navajo Nation)
37 miles to Wupatki National Monument.

Hey everyone! If you’re trying to lock down 4th of July plans, you already know spots up here in Northern Arizona are filling up fast. I’m opening up a 1-acre spot for the holiday weekend, and it’s perfect if you want to grab your crew, load up the toys, and actually have some breathing room.
This is a 3-day weekend booking (Arriving Friday, July 3rd – leaving Monday morning, July 6th) for a bigger group of up to 10 people. It’s the perfect size for two families to roll in together, unpack, and set up the layout exactly how you like.
🚜 Bring the Toys & the Rigs
Space for Wheels: Got ATVs, dirt bikes, or trucks? Bring 'em.
Big Rigs: I have enough room to accommodate an RV up to 40 feet. Just do me a favor: shoot me a message ahead of time with your exact setup so I can double-check the clearance for you before you roll in.
🌵 Pure Dry Camping (Pack It In, Pack It Out)
This is a total off-grid, rugged dry camp.
No water, no hookups, no trash cans.
You’ll need to haul in all your own water and completely handle/pack out your own waste and trash. Let's keep the high country clean!
🌲 The Launchpad
The property is sitting in a great spot to explore the area:
Cruise into Williams or Flagstaff for food and classic high-country vibes.
Head north for a day trip to the Grand Canyon.
Hit up some nearby lakes for a morning of fishing.
🎯 Holiday Note: The 4th is always a mad house for camping up here. If you want a full acre to yourselves to relax, drop your gear, and hit the trails, shoot me a message to confirm your rig size and let's lock it in!

This spacious land is over 4 acres of high desert with breathtaking 360 degree views.
Only 45 minutes from Flagstaff, 30 minutes from the historic Grand Canyon, and only 36 minutes from Williams, this property is in the middle of it all. There is so much potential for amazing adventures.
You could go fishing in Williams or have a snowball fight in Flagstaff. If you have never seen the Grand Canyon you are in for an ultimate life changing experience.
The dark night skies in this area may just keep you at camp. You can see every star out here and enjoy the escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With wide open spaces you have so much room to play.
The road to the property is about 0.8 miles and is considered dirt rugged. It will require you to so down under 5 miles an hour in a few places. You have the entire road to travel on and maneuver around the big bumps. I drive my car to the property ever time and don't have an issue if I slow down and go around large holes. If there is a recent storm in the area the road could be difficult to navigate.

Harmony Acres is a small, relaxed family farm in the high desert near the red rocks of Sedona, AZ. We love to host nature and animal loving people that want a taste of country life. Our guests often become our good friends. We have the friendliest farm animals that you can meet and greet, and you can help around the farm if you want to participate or learn.
Our sunsets and night star-gazing are just spectacular and we're enough off the beaten path that there's no crowds or traffic to deal with, but you are close to dining and area attractions.
This is a quiet, rural neighborhood and a peaceful farm that borders the National Forest for easy hiking and few neighbors. The farm animals do cluck, crow, whinny, neigh, baa, bleat, squeal, and oink at various times, including early morning.
There is one mile of a somewhat bumpy gravel road with hills to reach our neighborhood, so please make sure you are ready for that and have adequate towing power. The nearest services and dining are 5 minutes away. We are about 25-30 minutes to Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek,
and the popular red rock hiking sites. There are many wineries and dining right down the road to enjoy.
1 hour to Flagstaff, 2 hours to Phoenix.

Escape to serenity at this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin tucked away on 2.25 private acres, bordered by the Kaibab National Forest on 2 sides. This cabin gives you the best of both worlds - wild forest vibes + all the comforts you actually want. Come for the stars, stay for the peace and quiet (and maybe the elk). Though it feels like you’re miles from civilization, you’re just a short 25-minute drive to Flagstaff or Williams - close enough for day trips, but far enough to truly unwind.
🏡 The Cabin
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom – cozy, but roomy enough for families, couples, or your adventurous crew. Queen beds in both bedrooms and a queen size floor mattress, if needed, that works great in the living room. Open living space with a fireplace for ghost stories and hot chocolate, romantic weekends, or board games and Netflix binging with the family.
Fully stocked kitchen and I mean fully! (yes, there’s a wine opener and plenty of mugs for late-night cocoa). Huge deck with mountain views and jaw-dropping stargazing - the kind that makes you want to stay outside until your coffee goes cold.
🌌 The Experience
Unforgettable Stargazing: With no city lights to dim the night sky, you’ll see every star, shooting star, and constellation practically auditioning just for you. Wildlife Encounters: Deer, elk, pronghorn, and squirrels are frequent visitors, making your morning coffee on the deck feel like a nature show.
Huge Deck & Outdoor Dining: Relax and soak in the mountain views with your coffee and a few adult libations, or enjoy dinner on the picnic table. Cozy Comforts: Gather by the fireplace after a day of exploring, or relax with a movie on the smart TV. Family-Friendly: Pack-and-play provided, plus a fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer to make longer stays easy.
🌄 Adventure at Your Doorstep

Inside, you'll find a full kitchen, a heated hand-carved aspen queen bed, a private deck off the bedroom, a wood stove with complimentary firewood, a balcony, dining nook, breakfast bar, and a well-stocked kitchen with cookware and basic spices.
Originally developed in 1990 by the Wrigley family of Chicago Cubs and chewing gum fame, the property became known as "The Wrigley Ranch."
Whether you're escaping the heat of Phoenix, Lake Havasu, or Las Vegas, planning a romantic getaway, adventure vacation, or honeymoon, The Loft offers a peaceful forest retreat. Thanks to the cool mountain climate, air conditioning is rarely needed. Complimentary amenities include firewood for the wood stove and outdoor fire pit, plus BBQ tools.
Friendly dogs are welcome—we've hosted more than 1,000 canine guests! Meet our horses, goats, chickens, and ducks while enjoying the peaceful ranch setting.

29mi from Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
Back to basics beneath endless desert sky. Hike giant rock sculptures, gather petrified wood, maybe find the hidden pond or seasonal Little Colorado to splash in. Powdery views of the Navajo Plateau and snowy San Francisco Peaks stretch across the horizon. Nights bring incredible stars, silence, and total peace.
This place is called “Stone Soup,” named both for the geology and the folktale where everyone brings something to create something greater together. The hut was built with love during musical campouts. Recycled materials from nearby building sites may sometimes be available first-come, first-served, but please expect nothing beyond open land and sky.
There are 40 acres to explore and camp on. You can drive around the property in a regular vehicle and find your own spot. Camp anywhere away from the road or across from the hut for at least half a mile.
If you use the hut, please leave it and the land better than you found them.
The vision is simple: adventurous, creative, nature-loving kindred spirits gathering in the “stone soup” spirit, bringing what they need while sharing what they can. You’ll need to bring in and pack out everything, including water, food, bedding, and trash. There is currently no outhouse, though dunes provide some privacy if needed. Wind can pick up, so car camping is recommended over tents, though RVs work well too.
At the moment this is an isolated, wild campsite with no running water, toilet, cooking setup, or supplied firewood, though fires are allowed and you may find wood farther down the road. The photos are outdated and may show amenities that are no longer there.
Directions: From Flagstaff, take Highway 89 north toward Cameron. After Gray Mountain, continue a few miles to mile marker 461, before Cameron and before a large pump station. Turn right onto the dirt road directly across from mile marker 461, just before a yellow school bus stop. Follow the main dirt road for a little over 7 miles, keeping right at the fork. Stay on the biggest road, which mostly goes straight. At one point you’ll pass through fencing on both sides.
The hut is very hidden from the road. After just over 7 miles, look for tire tracks veering off to the right. Turn there. As soon as you leave the main road, you’ll immediately see the hut.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage on the property! The cottage itself was very clean with more amenities than what we expected. The bed was comfortable and there is wifi and basic cable for the tv, for the times that we were not out exploring the property itself or the surrounding areas. On the property there are animals (horses, goats chickens) and the hosts have 3 wonderful, friendly dogs. The hosts (Joe & Barb) are wonderful people and provided valuable insight and advice of the property and surrounding areas. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay for the few days we were there, and we already miss it! If you want to be in the mountains, somewhat remote but still close to many points of interest and activities, this is the place to be! We highly recommend this cottage and property and will most likely return for our next trip to northern AZ!!!

I loved the space, quiet, relaxing, and with all the hookups (electrical, sewer, and water). Adam was great and very communicative through out the trip and even helped me hookup RV when leaving the site. The lobby was great, the site super clean, and the snacks were a treasure.

Spent one night boondocking at this site. Directions were very easy to follow and the sites that have a combination of tiny homes, tent sites and RV spots are spaced nicely to give each of them space. The clubhouse was well-appointed with practical items for purchase, games like air hockey, laundry and a restroom with a well-attended funky and playful vibe. Bonus for happy chickens onsite who lay eggs that you can buy.
I will absolutely go back. Super close to Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monument.

I absolutely loved camping at Adam and Shelly's Camp. The directions were spot on, and the views at camp beautiful. The share space for all campers was a blessing 🙌.. from exercise equipment to all kinds of activities for kids and adults. Farm fresh eggs 🥚 just yummm. Fresh water and bathrooms an added bonus, my puppers loved the dog 🐕 park. Can't wait to plan my next trip.

Easy pull through spot. Convenient laundry. Friendly hosts. Beautiful night skies. A lovely campground close to the West entrance of the Grand Canyon. (Longer drive to get to the Village or visitor’s center) A day trip to Sedona is also very doable.

Overview
About
Sunset Crater many get its name from the volcanic rim's brilliant red rocks, but there's more to explore see than just the volcano. The park also contains unique geologic features like lava fields and cinder deposits. Features so unique that NASA astronauts once used this area to practice piloting the lunar rover!
Start your journey at the visitor center, where you can watch a quick video exploring the history and formation of the volcano. Traveling with children? Pick up a Junior Ranger Book so kids can complete activities and earn a Junior Ranger badge.
From the visitor's center, walk the Lava's Edge Trail which passes by the Bonito Lava Flow. The trail then carries on to the main attraction—Sunset Crater. Due to erosion, hiking to the top is prohibited. Instead, you can hike near the base on the Lava Flow Trail. This one-mile loop trail also has amazing views of the nearby San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in Arizona.
While there's no camping in the park, seasonal camping is available at Bonito Campground across the street. However, if you're searching for off-season campsites, check out listings on Hipcamp. Whether your style is primitive or glamping, we can help you find your ideal spot.
