Grand Canyon Oasis High Desert Camp

10 sites · RVs10 acres · Doney Park, AZ

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!

Grand Canyon Basecamp!

5 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Williams, AZ

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.

Bring lots of water.

If I come back I would hands-down camp here over any of the other campsites in Grand Canyon. It's smaller, more secluded than other campgrounds in the park. You can walk to amazing overlooks of the canyon, and the desert tower is a hidden gem full of history definitely worth checking out even if you're just swinging by!

Head here later in the afternoon to beat the crowds and see a magical show put on by mother nature. And if you catch the site after a rain event, you might even get lucky enough to see a double rainbow!

It's pretty easy to get a campsite if you show up before 11am. There's water spouts located throughout the campground. Clean restrooms and a helpful park ranger. Well maintained.

This is. A very baron, crowded camp ground. It is fine for family friendly activities. Not a place to crush case with the boys!

You can't make reservations here, so be sure to show up early. There's a great secret trail near campsite #46 to the edge of the canyon.
