Sacred Springs 🌿 A phenomenal, sacred riparian corridor, Sacred Springs offers a retreat for those seeking nature’s serenity 🌅 and spiritual renewal. Just upstream from the iconic Montezuma Castle National Monument and downstream from the enchanting Montezuma Well, it’s a place of deep connection. Your journey begins long before you arrive 🚗, as you enter the sacred river valley and embark on the primitive road ⚠️ leading to our desert oasis 🌵. From our campsites ⛺, you’ll have the remarkable opportunity to witness the echoes of the past and the pulse of the present, with the nearby I-17 highway tracing the path of this ancient route. As travelers journey along this prehistoric corridor 🚶‍♂️, their footsteps echo those of countless generations who traversed these lands long before us. Driving atop the mesa 🚙, you'll feel the powerful energy of the desert envelop you 🏜️. By the time you reach Sacred Springs, you’ll sense the immense potential for transformation and connection that awaits 🌾. Our campsites boast breathtaking, panoramic views 🌄 overlooking the powerful confluence of Wet Beaver Creek and Dry Beaver Creek. 🌊. While Sacred Springs offers a serene retreat amidst natural beauty 🌳, it’s important to be mindful of the inherent dangers ⚠️ of this unique landscape. Perched on a cliff 60 feet above the creek 🏞️, our property offers stunning views 🌅 and peaceful surroundings—but it also requires care and vigilance 👀. The terrain is steep and unforgiving 🪨, reminding us to slow down and savor each moment mindfully ⏳. (Please remain on trails at all times 👣.) With every step, it’s crucial to stay fully present, ensuring proper footing 👟 and safe navigation. As you explore the wonders of Sacred Springs 💧, let this be an opportunity to hone your senses 🌿 and deepen your connection with the earth 🌍. Embrace the challenge of traversing the rugged terrain 🏔️, knowing that each cautious step brings you closer to the heart of this sacred sanctuary 🕊️. Travel back in time by immersing yourself here in the wonderful history of the Verde Valley 🏜️. Enter the cave, and ponder the daily lives of the ancient cliff dwellers. This land holds the echoes of a prehistoric community that thrived here, utilizing irrigation for farming and dwelling in cliffside abodes. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with yourself 🫵✨ and heal ❤️‍🩹. Relax, fully immersed in a natural riparian corridor 🌳, as you hike along the creek💧. Find your peace in one of our hammock swings beside the water, or witness the breathtaking sunrise and sunset 🌅 from the best seat in Arizona 🌵. With mindfulness and respect for the land 🏜️, may your visit be one of discovery 🔍, growth 🌱, and profound reverence for the natural world 🐍.

Cliffside Camp at Sacred Springs

Such a quiet spot to relax and enjoy the views, we even got a huge super moon while we visited and heard the wolves howling at it! Gary and Daren are consistently making improvements we will have to go back some time!

Cliffside Camp at Sacred Springs

Incredible & Relaxing Stay!

My fiancé stayed here with two friends and absolutely loved it. Gary and Daren’s property is beautiful and they provided everything and more. From a community room filled with everything you could ever need for a successful camp trip to kayaks and paddle boards to utilize in the river. My fiancé’s car died and Gary and Daren jumped in to save the day and even provided extra jumper cables for the ride home. They were incredible hosts who have a passion for their property and providing a wonderful experience for their guests! We will be back!
