Best in Arizona: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
We are Northern Arizona locals living our best life on our off-grid retreat just south of one of the most beautiful places in the world (the Grand Canyon). We would love to share with you our passion for this place, the wildlife, its natural beauty, and its people! Our sites have all of your primitive basics covered. We are 25 miles to the canyon's rim, but very secluded. We are happy to help make your trip special. Please let us know if you need any tips on food, views, hikes, or things to do in general.

      Perfect spot for us to stop in and make the sunrise at the Grand Canyon the next morning. Site is only 30 min or so from the South Rim entrance

      We loved this camp site! We saw the Milky Way at night :) it’s right by the Grand Canyon! You should totally stay here if you have the chance.

      Had a great stay! The site was as described and we really appreciated the amount of shady spots, hammock, trash can, and privacy curtain. The hosts had excellent recommentdations when asked and were very friendly. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We arrived after dark and didn't have trouble finding the site following the instructions. I highly recommend this host and will stay with them again when in the area!

      Great location and campsite. We stayed overnight to get the Grand Canyon in on a long trip west. The location was perfect and the site was easy to find and get into. Clean, spacious, quiet - couldn’t ask for a better spot.
