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!!!

DRIVE to your site! Scenic camping!

Clifford’s land was beautiful! He was very accommodating when we asked to change our site. We were the only ones there after the big snow that they had. Clifford was available for any questions we had and he showed compassion and concern for our comfort.

DRIVE to your site! Scenic camping!

We loved this place. The land it’s beautiful with rolling hills and many Juniper and Pinyon trees. It is far enough away from the interstate to be very quiet. The ground is flat and there’s plenty of privacy even if other guests are there. I highly recommend this listing.

HIKE to your site! Scenic! Private!

Excellent 1 night solo tent stay! Quiet, clean, and Clifford was an outstanding host! Super laid back and friendly, answered my questions when I asked, and didn't intrude at all. I'm from Pennsylvania, working in the Phoenix area, and I was looking for a place to simply get away and relax. I drove 3 hours to get there, and I will absolutely do it again! This was my first camp while out here, I think I've been spoiled, and won't want to even try anywhere else! Highly, highly recommend!
