This is one of the most incredible camping experiences I've ever had. All the art exhibits are engaging and fun and wildly different, and you honestly get a whole new experience once the sun goes down and the lights come on. A freaking delightful and unique way to center art. In addition, all the communal spaces are beautiful, the campground is very well maintained and the hosts are friendly and accessible. This was a surprise find on a road trip, it's now going to be an annual destination!

I stayed 2 nights at an RV site w/water & 30A. Lovely! Camp host Matty was welcoming & kind. Foot paths meander through the property giving opportunity to see the Art pieces from different viewpoints. The thoughtful sculptures and occaisionally whimsical designs are lit up at night! Delightful!

If you are into uniqueness and creativity you will appreciate Art City. The camp is centered on the very cool concept of using the power of art to rejuvenate an area.
The camp is clean and very well kept. Facilities (cooking area, bathroom, etc.) are the same. Camp hosts are very welcoming and hospitable.
My only regret is that I didn't allow extra time in my travel schedule to enjoy Art City for at least one more day. I would definitely stay here again and hope to be back one day.

This place was absolutely amazing. Matty and Benigno showed me all the amenities when I got there and I got to choose my camp spot. The art is incredible and the lights at night combined with the stars are even better. The kitchen has everything you might need and there are ample places to sit and hang out while looking at the beautiful art! It’s a fairly recent project and as you walk around you can tell there are still bits and pieces being worked on. These people have such a cool vision for Art City and I can’t wait to see how it grows. I hope to come back soon!!

Art City has to be one of the most notable campsites I’ve ever been too. It’s tucked away and very quiet. The Art onsite is really one-of-a-kind and there are little Easter eggs EVERYWHERE. The entire facility was incredibly cleanly. The vault toilets are honestly some of the nicest I’ve ever seen. Matty explained to me that they use some sort of natural microbial solution to compost the waste. I really loved the approach the owners have taken with Art City. It feels genuine and home-like. I won’t give away any more, go book a few nights there to absorb the entire compound! My only regret is not staying longer. I stayed here one short night on my way from Indiana to Arizona. Would have loved to stay a few more nights. This place would be even better with a few friends!

I was surprised to be able to hook up to electricity and water. Our site was perfect. Trails and pathways meandered all around to the sculptures. The sauna, showers and kitchens were cleverly designed. Total delight.
