No!

Both host phone numbers disconnected.

Campgrounds in disarray. Abandoned cars in lot. Animal skulls mounted on fence posts.

We’re pretty much up for anything… but no, just no - went on to Holbrook and got a hotel with no worries for the same price.

Zero stars if we could.

Beautiful amazing sunsets

This is one of my favorite stops the site is always cleared and free of B's the owners are super helpful and very kind down to earth people . The star gazing is incredible, a astrologists dream truly heaven on earth people . This is a must stop and stay especially if you plan on seeing the petrified forest it's the very next exit . I would no doubt stay here every time I'm passing by.

10/10 site

Let me start off this review by saying Jason was an awesome site host! When we arrived there was some confusion as he was unaware of our booking and recommended booking through hip camp or air bnb as it’s cheaper but other than that the site was peaceful and clean. Also recommend being careful on the dirt/sand road, the morning we we’re leaving the site, our van got stuck in the sand on the road but Jason came to our rescue and pulled us out with a huge mad max style truck, Bassett hound by his side, no issue! Overall highly recommend this campsite just not booking through the dyrt.

Spacious and Private

Ashley here with The Dyrt! I'm happy to welcome Jason & Kim to our platform. This location is 15 minutes from the Petrified Forest. Level camping areas and lots of space. The road getting in is a bit bumpy, so take it slow. The payoff is worth it as you can pull up and camp anywhere. Fire-pit & grill available. Book your stay and leave your review here!
