    This is across the street from the Petrified Forest Gift Shop.

    Crystal Forest Museum and Gifts is a free campground located at the Crystal Forest Gift Shop. The campground is open all year with approximately 20 camp spots. Please check with the gift shop before parking in the camp spots. The gift shop usually closes around 5 P.M. Water and power are available however, they may be turned off during the off-season.

    The Petrified Forest National Park does not have a campground so, this might be a good option. The next closest campgrounds are 20 miles away in Holbrook. The campground is in a remote location so it can be very quiet at night.

    Note: There are two gift shops at this location. One on each side of the highway. Both have camp spots available.

    Restrooms are available while the gift shop is open.

    The backpacking wilderness permit is free. You may obtain it in person from either visitor centers on the day that you want to backpack. Each vehicle must have a permit. The permits are available until 4:30 pm.

    There are private campgrounds throughout Navajo and Apache Counties, in and around Holbrook, Sun Valley, St. Johns, Joseph City, and other communities.

    120 Acres easy access to I-40. (One mile of county maintained primitive road to property, dirt roads on property) Several boondocking/tent areas to choose from whether you enjoy wide open space or nestled near beautiful Juniper trees. Limited electric sites, we do not offer trash removal, dump station or water filling facility. Pack it in/Pack it out please. Community house open 24 hours for bathroom, showers, cooking. (donations accepted).

    Recommend arriving before dark, black skies here unless you arrive under a full moon! Please follow map that we will provide upon booking. GPS wants to lead you down a "damaged road". This road is marked in RED on the map and now has a sign saying "DAMAGED ROAD", in large red letters, to deter campers from entering. Please drive all the way up the county road before turning left.

    We are in the challenging process of cleaning/rehabbing the property with the intentions of stewarding a working Eco-village with the focus on helping travelers/nomads. Please join our Facebook group LunaGaia Nomadic Village and/or Nomads Helping Nomads Network (website in progress).

    Feel free to join us for morning coffee and conversation as we really enjoy meeting the folks who stay with us.
