Arizona boasts itself as the gateway to the Grand Canyon. And, it’s true: There’s no better place to set off into the red- and orange-painted cliffs, winding canyons, and rippling rivers of this wild and grand desert landscape. But, camping in Arizona doesn’t stop at The Big Ditch. From Flagstaff to Sedona, and beyond, you’ll find some of the best desert camping in the U.S. right in this state.


The Colorado River carved through 277 miles of ancient sandstone and limestone to form the Grand Canyon. Stop along the edges of this natural wonder for some of the most famous and scenic camping in Arizona. Go straight to Grand Canyon Village and camp at the Mather campground on the South Rim to experience the best pit stops and catch jaw-dropping canyon views on the Bright Angel Trail. Or, opt for areas less saturated with people and head to Desert View Campground on the South Rim. Hike to Coconino Overlook to sample views of the massive canyon or put your boots on the Arizona Trail, one of the country’s National Scenic Trails.


For those interested in venturing into other parts of Arizona, head to Sedona for more red rock desert camping. There’s a variety of things to do in Sedona, and camping, of course, is one of the best. From red rock canyons to rock formations fabled as energy vortexes, you’ll find views and adventures in Sedona unlike any other. Camp at Pine Flat Campground, where tall ponderosas brush up against red rock walls. Get up to hike for sunrise or start out at sunset to see the best colors amidst the desert. Or, bring your bike along for the ride to experience world-class mountain biking trails right in Sedona. 


Whether it’s hiking, biking, or just sleeping beneath the desert sky when camping in Arizona, the state is truly an outdoor-lover’s desert mecca. So grab your tent and head to the edges of the Grand Canyon or into the quiet nooks of Sedona and discover a land of red-rock beauty.

Desert Falcon Ranch, LLC

Welcome to **Nevado Ranch Camping** \- the best White Mountains dark sky camping in Arizona!

So, you and your family or friends are most likely looking for a great location to **pitch your tent**(s) while exploring Arizona and New Mexico. Or, perhaps you are an **ATV off-roader** with your pride and joy in tow. In either case, you want a location that is "out there with the wildlife" and yet is secure from the critters. Feeling cozy in your camp while also having access to recreational amenities that make a stay so enjoyable is also important to you. Finally, you also want a location where, at the end of a long day of hiking, biking and/or sightseeing, you can relax by a fire, listen to tunes, and enjoy your favorite beverage while looking up at a pitch black sky with stars as bright as diamonds.

If what you just read appeals to you, then you have found what you are looking for because that is exactly what Nevado Ranch Camp has waiting for you!

**The Camp**

**Nevado Ranch Camp** is 2.2 acres located smack dab in the middle of the Springerville “monogenetic” Volcanic Field (3rd largest in the U.S.) that consists of 405 discrete and dormant vents. The ground is relatively soft and perfect for a tent. We have plenty of free on-site parking.

At an elevation of 6,993 feet, **Nevado Ranch Camp**, Apache County, AZ, is an easy day’s drive to dozens of popular tourist destinations in Arizona and New Mexico.

In Portuguese, the word Nevado means “snowy.” The delicious city water we use is sourced from the never-gone-dry Coconino Aquafer. While we are completely off-the-grid, **Nevado Ranch Camp** is solar powered because we want to present as small a carbon footprint as possible.

**Changes in aLtitude, changes in aTtitude**

Given its elevation, there is no air pollution up here and it is roughly 20-25 degrees cooler at the Camp than it is in the Phoenix or Tucson valleys. At Nevado Ranch Camp, the air is clear and crisp which makes for awesome stargazing - the Milky Way can easily be seen overhead.

**The Campsites**

**At Nevado Ranch Camp**, we offer 10 well-maintained, level campsites nestled among a forest of juniper trees. We have intentionally kept the number of campsites low so that our guests don't feel like they are part of a chaotic crowd. Each campsite has a 10’ x 10’ area for tent as well as additional space for chairs, bikes and other camping items. Deck lights provide a smidgeon of illumination at night. You can have your own private campfire as long as you use the locations provided AND when checking in, you prove to management that you have a working fire extinguisher on hand.

You will be glad to know that the Camp is completely fenced off for your security. Our location is smack dab in the middle of the land inhabited by giant elk, coyotes, black bears, mule deer, antelope, foxes and mountain lions. The animals are usually active from dusk to dawn so don't be surprised if you hear these animals walking past your campsite on the road. The reason why they do so is because the series of roads and the vacant property next to us is the only unobstructed north/south passage for miles around - and the animals make use of it!

**The Hut**

The Hut is a converted barn (with hot and cold running water) that has a "serve yourself" kitchen for your use. There is a microwave, a three-burner stove, an air fryer and a George Forman grill, two refrigerators, and a blender. You bring your own K pods for the coffee maker, as well as your own sugar, creamer, etc. We provide the paper plates and bowls, plastic cutlery, drink cups, and napkins for your use - you bring your own food and beverages, seasonings, etc. The bathroom w/shower is cleaned and sterilized daily.

**Recreation Deck**

When you want to step away from the tent and lounge in the sun or moonlight, you will find a 15' x 20' asymmetrical Victorian stone deck outfitted with a gas grill, a music entertainment system, a lounge bed w/shade, an in-the-deck fire pit and a number of comfy Adirondack lounge chairs. Tiki torches and deck lights provide a subtle illumination at night. A badminton net is also used for volleyball and "tickle ball" (our version of pickleball). Bring your own paddles and other equipment. We keep the net down low so the young'uns can experience the thrill of spiking the ball!

**Indoor Relaxation Area**

You will like the indoor relaxation area that has a sofa, a recliner, a computer desk w/printer, wi-fi (no streaming, please!), and a tv. A shaded patio with sofa and chairs is just outside the front door.

**Live music**

If you’re a musician and/or a singer, bring your instruments and your melodic voice. The instruments we make available to guests include a Gibson Les Paul 100-year anniversary edition electric guitar, baritone and tenor ukeleles, a Brazilian mini Djembe drum, bongos, a harmonica, and a hand-carved Hawaiian tenor percussion block.
