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 🕊️. This land holds the echoes of a prehistoric community that thrived here, utilizing irrigation for farming and dwelling in cliffside abodes. 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. 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

What a truly amazing experience at Sacred Springs! Gary & Darren were so accommodating, friendly, informative and just really awesome guys! Anything we needed they had or would get for you! From paddling boarding in a grotto to kayaking down the lazy river and hiking through the forest fabulous time! We also had the most amazing experience at the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary just minutes away! Would highly recommend Sacred Springs, we look forward to our next adventure in the Eagles Nest!

Cliffside Camp at Sacred Springs

This place was beautiful. Positive vibes as soon as we pulled up. Gary and Darren have done amazing work to their grounds. We are new to the camping scene and had not reservations anywhere and were unable to find a “first come first served” spot in the area.. I was able to find a last minute opening with Gary and he was so pleasant and helpful over the phone. 🥰 so thankful for you. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with nothing but positive vibes. So welcoming. This made the trip that was quickly turning into a disaster do a complete 180. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. There are so many extras in case you forget to pack certain things. Our camp spot was so perfect. Included picnic bench, fire pit and very comfortable chairs. Plenty of space for our own chairs and 2 tents and so much more. Huge space also between the campers that were also on site. The community house is super cute, clean and full of lots of extras. And I mean “LOTS”. They have kayaks, paddle boards, floaters and chairs if you choose to go down and hang out by the lake. My fav ( the hammock chairs ) ❤️ You two have put so much details and love into this place and it shows. My family and I are so grateful we found you and had nothing but positive feedback from all. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you both so much for creating such an amazing experience for us and many others Im sure.

Cliffside Camp at Sacred Springs

Must See!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sacred Springs! The views were great and the night sky even better. Gary and Chris were very kind and accommodating. The shared space room was a huge blessing. We appreciated the refrigerator space and cooking gadgets along with the grill. The trail to the bottom as very nice and the kayak and paddle boards were a fun addition. I would highly recommend this place.

Eagle Eye at Sacred Springs

Eagle Eye is a completely unique and incredible place to stay! Gary and Daren were the most welcoming, accommodating hosts and the setup is fantastic: a gorgeous refreshing swimming hole (in the desert!), cozy and comfortable bed in the converted sauna with an amazing view, extremely thoughtful and complete kitchen setup and amenities (they even take care of the dishes!), and an amazing view of the stars. Highly recommended and we just wished we could have stayed longer than one night!
