The most important thing for me is that my guests leave this place with memories that will turn into nostalgia. 40 huge, PRIVATE acres in the country of northern Arizona, The Spark can host the single camper looking for a quiet and private retreat, or the sleepy traveler who simply needs a place to park and snooze in their vehicle - all the way up to your large group and event! I am only here to make sure you have a safe and private place to camp the way YOU want! Dazzling night sky with near zero light pollution! Fabulous sunset views! Warm, gorgeous sunrises! Potential for wildlife! Cool rocks! Cool plants! Cool bugs! Family friendly. Pet friendly. MJ and such friendly. Come spend the night outside!!!

Awesome grounds, awesome host
I came here to do some soul searching. I definitely got what I needed and the setting and host were very supportive of this. The grounds are thoughtfully setup, clean, safe, peaceful, beautiful, and full of whimsy. Clifford is personable, loving, and professional. The care and consideration he puts into the camp is evident. I especially found comfort in the “playground” walking path. I must have walked it 8 times. The “Midnight Market” sundry was a godsend 24 hours a day — and yes you can pay with your phone. You can even buy firewood. I love this spot, Clifford is a bro, and I look forward to my next visit. If you want a spot with lots of space and brimming with character where you can really just be, this is the move!

Serene, expansive views, excellent host. My dog and I stayed for two nights. My site was huge allowing me to forgo backing practice. Highly recommend.

Beautiful view, easy access, the host (Clifford) is super friendly and set up extra amenities for folks to use - corn hole, horseshoes, meditation area among the junipers, and the Easy Breezy shelter was placed well to block the famous desert wind! It was a quiet, calm place. Thank you.
