Sacred Springs A phenomenal, sacred, riparian corridor. Sacred Springs offers a retreat for seekers of nature’s serenity and spiritual renewal. Just up the creek from the iconic Montezuma Castle National Monument and down from the enchanting Montezuma Well. Your journey will begin long before you arrive, as you enter into the sacred river valley and embark on the primitive road that leads 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, as an active view of the nearby I-17 highway traces 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 enveloping you and by the time you reach Sacred Springs you’ll sense, the immense potential for transformation and connection that awaits you. Our campsites have breathtaking, panoramic views overlooking a powerful confluence of Wet Beaver Creek and Dry Beaver Creek. While Sacred Springs offers a breathtaking retreat amidst the beauty of nature, it's important to note the inherent dangers of our unique landscape. Perched on a cliff 60 feet above the creek, our property boasts stunning views and serene surroundings—but it also requires vigilance and care. The terrain here 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 remain fully present, ensuring proper footing and safe navigation at all times. As you explore the wonders of Sacred Springs, let this be an opportunity to hone your senses and cultivate a deeper connection with the earth beneath your feet. Embrace the challenge of traversing the rugged terrain, knowing that every cautious step brings you closer to the heart of this sacred sanctuary. This land holds the echoes of a prehistoric ancient community that thrived right here, utilizing irrigation for farming and dwelling in cliffside abodes. Picture yourself immersed in the rich history of the Verde Valley, sitting in a cave dwelling pondering about the daily lives of the Hisat'sinom, the ancient cliff dwellers. You'll have the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, and to heal. Relax fully immersed in a natural riparian corridor as you hike along the creek, find your peace in one of our hammock swings next to the creek, 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

We loved our three nights camping at Sacred Springs. A very special place, close to nature, and most of all Gary and Daren were the best hosts ever. Very caring and we loved our time spent with them, nothing was too much trouble and we can’t wait for them to come to New Zealand to visit 😁

Mountain View Camp - Sacred Springs

Solo Weekend Trip

Scared Springs is hands down one of the most breathtaking campsites I've ever had the opportunity to visit. Nestled in the mountains near Rimrock, this hidden gem offers a serene escape perfect for couples or family getaways. The location is nothing short of magical, with panoramic mountain views in every direction. This makes it an ideal spot to take in both awe-inspiring sunrises and serene sunsets. Whether you're an early riser or prefer to wind down in the evening, this campsite sets the perfect backdrop. What truly sets Scared Springs apart are its well-maintained amenities. The property boasts clean restrooms, a cozy community room, an outdoor shower, and more—all impeccably kept. I encountered zero issues during my stay, which added to the overall comfort of the experience. The campsite offers plenty of room to pitch one or two tents, providing ample space to unwind. With picnic tables, chairs, and a fire pit on site, it's perfect for a relaxing evening under the stars. Everything is thoughtfully arranged, whether you plan to cook over the fire or sit and enjoy the quiet. The most important thing for me was the sense of security. I solo camped for the weekend and never once felt uneasy. The environment felt safe and welcoming, giving me peace of mind. I highly recommend Scared Springs to anyone seeking a peaceful and picturesque retreat in the heart of nature. Also, the owners of the property are extremely quick to respond to any questions you may have.

Cliffside Camp at Sacred Springs

Sacred Springs was beautiful and so were Gary and Daren! The land, the water, and all of the amenities were incredible. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. It is a truly special place, and we want to come back!

Mountain View Camp - Sacred Springs

If you want balance, this is it.💜

Gary and Daren were beautiful souls! They really thought of everything here, it was the perfect balance for us between roughing it and glamping. We are so grateful to have been able to fit this site into our journey, the place is amazing beyond words, pictures cannot show how awesome the site and the trail below truly is. It felt like we were transported into a beautiful, secluded oasis with its own tiny beach. We paddle boarded for the first time and enjoyed a majestic sunset and sunrise. The community room and outdoor shower were an incredible touch! Thank you both for making our stay perfect. We hope to be back someday!

Eagle Eye at Sacred Springs

Second to none

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed, hands down. I have never stayed with hosts who were so accommodating, friendly, and cared about hospitality like Gary and Darren. Their property is beautiful, and the Eagle Eye is a one of a kind stay. Thank you both so much for everything and we will be back!
