47mi from Alamo Lake State Park · 51 sites · RVs · Congress, AZ
Nestled in a breezy valley below Rich Hill in Yavapai County, AZ, Stanton Camp sits just six miles below Yarnell and 10 miles northwest of Congress. Once a booming gold mining town known as Antelope Station, Stanton rose to prominence in 1863 with the discovery of gold. Today, the area remains a haven for gold prospectors, hikers, and ATV enthusiasts, all drawn to the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Stanton Camp is rich with history and charm. The camp’s buildings, once part of a bustling gold rush town, now serve as hubs for modern activities. The former stage stop and home of Charlie Stanton; infamously killed in a violent confrontation; now houses the Camp Office. The Stanton Hotel has been repurposed into a Library, a two-room museum, and a camp kitchen, each offering glimpses into the past. Meanwhile, the Opera House, rebuilt after a fire in 1910, serves as a gathering place for camp activities. From October through May, Stanton Camp comes alive with events, combining gold prospecting, mining activities, and opportunities to explore the surrounding desert. Whether you’re searching for gold or simply enjoying the trails, wildlife, and history, Stanton Camp offers an unforgettable experience. Amenities Highlight o Full hookup RV sites & dry camping - long-term and short-term o Gold Panning Station o Craft Barn & Makers Shop o 3 Laundry Facilities o Weekly social activities
