Welcome to your slice of high desert heaven! Desert Sky Campground is our private piece of Earth nestled in between the south rim of the Grand Canyon/Kaibab National Forest and Flagstaff/Coconino National Forest. Feel free to pick your favorite spot on this nearly 5-acre canvas with a fantastic view of the San Francisco peaks that surround Flagstaff. Want to clear a space for your tent or RV? Go ahead and gently remove any small shrubs. Just remember to leave the bigger plants and trees standing tall.
The road leading here might be a bit bumpy, so a 4x4 with good clearance is your best bet. Now, let's talk about the real magic: no frills, just pure, untouched nature. Think of it as your own private BLM land. Please, treat it with respect. Pack out all your trash and minimize your impact. No bathrooms, no water, no electricity – just you, the stars, and the incredible outdoors. After a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring, come back to your campsite and enjoy the breathtaking night sky. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge.

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.

We are a family-owned RV park and tiny home village 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.
38 miles to Tuba City, Arizona (Navajo Nation)

Lot is RAW and UNDEVELOPED Land in the High Desert of Northern Arizona and it is level and flat with some clear areas and some areas with SageBrush. DO NOT BOOK if you are expecting a developed campground. This is a rural area with little services and the price reflects that. The proximity to the Grand Canyon and other Tourist Attractions is the upside here.
1.14 Acre Parcel of land located near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon Junction, AZ. Located at the SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd, between Highway 180 and Highway 64. Turn LEFT onto Valle Rd from Highway 180, LEFT onto S Linger Lane, and LEFT onto Coronado Dr. Property will be on the LEFT hand side, at the end of Coronado Dr where it intersects with San Mateo Rd (SEC of Coronado Dr and San Mateo Rd). Corner lot with a Power Pole, but no utilities connected. Lot is completely undeveloped with no utilites and is raw vacant land. Tent, RV or similar vehicle, or Car/Truck Parking ONLY. Leave no trace, do no litter and do not leave any garbage or any other physical objects on the land. 1 Site and therefore 1 guest/family per night. Note: There is only 1 site and this is the entire 1.14 Acre Lot, so guests may choose where to camp.

The new rec room has a real cozy feel to it.
Yes, this property is a rv- cabin resort that is being constructed.
It’s an ongoing project.
Looking forward to come back next year and see the progress.

Great spot to stop, bathroom stocked and clean. We didn’t need as many of the amenities they had but saved this place for a road trip later this year.

Loved that they had multiple amenities for use, especially washer and dryer. They also have a nice little dog park area where my dogs could get some exercise and play off leash.

The easiest all around experience I think I've had. The pups very much enjoyed the dog park.

Great place to stay. Quiet, well cared for. Even though we didnt use the clubhouse, we took a look around and is a great recreation space.

Convenient spot to stop on way to Capitol Reef with hookups. Worked well for us for an overnight stop. Shelley was very responsive and very good communication. Nice amenities, even though we didn’t have a need to partake and the area was nice and clean.

The host was very helpful and communicative in getting me all set up. As far as the stay and check in, everything was smooth and the site itself was great. The clubhouse was definitely an unexpected bonus. Definitely hope to stay again on another road trip

I've camped here twice and the facilities are very clean but the campsites are tight together. The camp hosts are so sweet and amazing! The gas station and diner across the way are nice if you're missing a few small items or for coffee but it's expensive and not well stocked.
(ten camping // 5+ nights total // June 2016, May 2019)

Convenient, safe, and well maintained forest service site. Water spigot and bathroom. Across the street from the shop where we got our car looked at.

I was on a solo road trip and found my way to the Grand Canyon. I don't know what I was thinking...that I could just roll in and find a tent spot in the park without booking a year in advance...so I was extremely happy to find this campsite within a short drive to GCNP. It was not that crowded, as in I was able to arrive mid-afternoon, in the middle of the summer, and find a nice shady spot no problem. There are lots of trees and the campsites are a pretty good distance apart. I would highly recommend this spot because it is so close to GCNP, but you don't have to deal with booking so far in advance or the crowds. I will be returning next summer for sure!

Great place to camp in the summer as nights are cool due to high elevation. The Bathrooms were very clean, and we felt the campsites were fairly average when it came to spacing (not to close together, but then again not very private). Big trucks & cars drive along the road by the campsite all night/day so it can be noisy-try to get a spot on the opposite side of the entrance to avoid this. About an 1hr. away from the North Rim & is a pretty, scenic drive.

An older campground with small sites, spaced close together. However the fishing in this Lake is the main draw, unless you come out with a bunch of people who want to party, I would choose another campground & just go there to fish....

We camped here in June, Site 53, which we Thought we were Lucky to get as it is Right on the lake. Turns out that the wind comes Roaring Dow the lake, right through that site, which is quite exposed! It as So Windy we couldn't sit outside at all- Very Frustrating!! The Campground itself is Extremely Beautiful & quiet, with sites widely spaced but mostly back among the pines & spruces. The lake itself is really nice, but as for fishing, we didn't see ANY FISH CAUGHT in the 5 days we were there? Must be it hadn't been stocked lately. Otherwise a Very Nice & Isolated camp ground...

Jacob Lake CG had clean facilities and a very attentive host. Don't expect much privacy though... The sites are pretty scrunched together and it's located right next to a loud, busy road. There's a gas station and diner within walking distance if that's your thing (diner food was meh...). All in all it was a perfectly fine place to spend the night, but didn't offer much else aside from its close proximity to the Grand Canyon North Rim. (tent camping // one night // october)

Pleasant Surprise DeMotte was! Plenty of elbow room btw sites. Nice views. Deer foraging in the nearby woods. Walking distance to General Store and Kaibab Lodge Dining Room. No showers, though. Must explore the Forest Service back roads. Well maintained, and go to places you'd never think about, even the Grand Canyon, without going into the Nat'l Park. Great Find!
