"Drifting along like a tumbleweed, you're right where you're supposed to be!" :)
ENJOY! 40 acres of beautiful mountain / desert / prairie views on this private homestead. Tents, vans, RVs, travel trailers and whatever else you might arrive in… Whatever you're looking for, this "Primitive Plus" (with extras!) campground is sure to be a unique experience for making some great memories! There are only a handful of available sites to ensure you have a very large area to yourself - wherever you choose to set up in this diverse environment. Great for large group retreats or the single camper needing a meditative experience in nature. Also great for very large events (hit me up for planning)! The focus here is private, raw, beautiful nature. :) Oh, and just as important - your camping will be HASSLE-FREE! Spend your time at your camp the way YOU want - the host won't bother you. (I'm pretty sure I can speak for the host, as I am he. Lol)
LAYOUT! The Spark is divided into two very large areas. Almost half the property is dedicated to drive-up campsites which are placed along a peaceful, meandering service road. Another huge portion is dedicated to the nature trail and areas you can explore. Take pics out there, search for cool rocks, plants, and wildlife, or set up an area to create as a second "satellite camp!" An old road, dry pond, meditation spots… anywhere you find yourself day or night you are welcome to be!
STARS! The deep, dark night sky is filled with shooting stars, The Milky Way, satellites, and maybe even a random UFO! There is nearly zero light pollution here and the night sky unfolds above us like a dazzling 3D light show!
WILDLIFE! Most of the usual northern Arizona wildlife is possible, and sometimes very likely here! From pronghorn antelope and the occasional elk and mule deer all the way down to jackrabbits, prairie dogs, and packrats… You're almost guaranteed to see neat animals sharing the property along with you!
RESTROOM! Bring a flashlight for those nighttime trips to the restroom. It's a Porta Potty style restroom and it's nicer than you'd expect. :) It also has the official Guest Book where you can share your experience in the area with other campers and music to give you something nice to listen to! Since this is a Porta Potty, there can sometimes be a smell inside but I keep the surfaces clean and anti-bacterialized!
WEATHER! Please check the weather at zip code 86320 before coming. We are open all year during any weather (excepting emergencies) so you are responsible for making sure the weather forecast is compatible with your camping expectations! Weather considerations: during windy days prepare to pay special attention to using extra long stakes for anchoring things like tents, tables, and shade canopies. When rain is in the forecast it can get VERY muddy out here very fast. So if you see that rain is a possibility, be prepared for that. :)
FUN AND GAMES! The Spark includes a modest "community fairgrounds" style area separate from the camping sites which includes a Horseshoe Pit and Cornhole Toss! Stay tuned for future outdoor weekend movie nights! (coming soon)
HOST! I live on the property and will check you in when you arrive unless we've made other arrangements ahead of time. And I'm here for YOU. Forget something important that isn't available in the camp market? I might have something from my personal stash you can borrow. Anything you might need I'll do what I can to accommodate. :) By the way, I'm also an officially ordained Dudeist Priest - so if you want to get married while you're here and have everything in order I can handle it Big Lebowski style. ;)
PACK IN/PACK OUT! There is NO TRASH PICKUP at this time at The Spark so be prepared to pack-out what you bring in. :) Any dumpsters you may see on your way in are privately owned by other people and are NOT for our use. :) Also The Spark is a private homestead - there are no hookups for RVs. This is a boondocking, dry camping experience. :) However! There are full services only 4 miles east on the I-40 where you can dump your trash, empty waste tanks, and refill your water and fuel! (The Belen and Star station).
MOONLIGHT MARKET! This is a self-serve collection of stuff you might want or need! Gallons of water for sale, firewood, some loaner items like ground stakes, emergency pet food, bug spray, sunscreen, maybe a few souvenirs… and a changing selection of various items are available with a wide variety of ways to pay. Self-service 24 hours day and night!
FREEDOM OF CHOICE! After checking in, the host will point out a few things you'll want to know such as the restroom, wandering area, and camping sites. From there you will simply enjoy a search of the property to find your perfect spot and enjoy the sun and the stars!
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT! Check-in time is after 12 noon and check-out is 11am. YOUR SCHEDULE IS MY SCHEDULE - so if you're coming in after dark please let me know in advance as I have a separate check-in process to make things easier in the dark. If you need to come earlier, just message me first and we'll work something out!
"THANK YOU!" from the bottom of my heart for your interest in A Spark in the Dark private camping - my passion. :) I will send you a welcome message on the day of your check-in with critical notes on directions to get here, current weather and the like. And I look forward to sharing my property with you!
NEARBY: Essentials like grocery, gas, post office, souvenirs, service station, full RV services, and a couple of small town restaurants - only 5 miles away in local Ash Fork. Emergency services also available nearby.
RULES:
~ Cannabis/MJ friendly. Enjoy openly - you're fine!

Dogtown Lake offers a scenic setting convenient to Grand Canyon National Park and the cities of Williams and Flagstaff, Arizona. The campground is situated in a pine forest along the shore of a small and scenic lake. Visitors come here to hike, fish, mountain bike and explore the area's cultural and natural history. It's also a great place to relax and enjoy the sound of the wind in the pines and the spectacular view of nearby Bill Williams Mountain.
Campers are drawn to the area's hiking and fishing opportunities. The lake is stocked with trout, crappie and channel catfish. Visitors can enjoy a guided nature trail near the lake and a hiking trail that leads to a scenic overlook of the area from the top of nearby Davenport Hill. The calm waters are inviting for canoes, kayaks and electric motorboats. Single motors of one horsepower or less are permitted.
Kaibab National Forest is nestled on the Colorado Plateau, an area of land that was uplifted by geologic processes. Dogtown Lake sits at an elevation of 7,050 feet. The lake got its name from the extensive prairie dog "towns" that once covered open areas near the lake. In spite of the name, this medium-sized body of water is surrounded by trees. Summer temperatures range from 50 degrees at night to 80-90 degrees during the day. Summer thunderstorms, known as the monsoon, can build up quickly, especially during July and August. Snow is common from December through March.
For facility specific information, please call +0000000.
Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim is just over one hour north of the campground. The cities of Williams and Flagstaff have amenities such as shops, restaurants and cultural and historic sites. From canyons to prairies, peaks to plateaus, Kaibab National Forest offers layers of opportunity for peace, solitude and discovery. Over 300 miles of trails, some clinging to the rims of the Grand Canyon, allow visitors to step off the beaten path into uncrowded landscapes.

This is a small ranch that im slowly developing, off grid so no facilities. Adding tables and fire pits as the campground grows Currently only 4 spots to camp. 1 spot that can accommodate a good size RV. The other spots i wouldn't go any larger than 25'. Plenty of tent camping space. The property is about 5 miles off the pavement about 25minutes drivable with most vehicles but can be a bit wash boarded at times
Lots of hiking near by. Great place to ride your SxS from. The town of seligman is right on Rt66, Grand Canyon not to far. Williams is about 50 miles or so…

The area is beautiful Forrest not far off the highway. We drove well past the initial sites and found a pretty quiet spot with neighbors barely visible. The site nearest was full of trash left behind and processed by wildlife. So sad! The road had some pretty big mud puddles along the way, but were passable. There were some pretty big rigs that made it through. I could hear trains in the distance the whole time through Williams or going to the Grand Canyon. Cell service was good for T-Mobile. Level and spacious sites are easy to find. Beautiful place!
Traveler
This exact campsite is in a nice area, but right across the street from a rock/sand mine of some sort
Guide
The peace and quiet and beauty of this place far outweighs the drive in from the 40. I have a 29’ motorhome with low ground clearance and I made it just fine.
TravelerAs I came in there seemed to be allot of fellow campers, but the further back I drove the less people I came across. Until I came to a spot with no other campers around. I was looking for peace and quiet and found exactly that. Beautiful view and plenty of open space. I will definitely return.
Ranger
We stopped here because it is conveniently located between Los Angeles and Colorado. At 7000 feet not too hot. Sites are well separated and level. Great place for an overnight stay. Or longer if you like to fish or just enjoy the quiet. No swimming in the lake. But boats and fishing are allowed. We saw several Osprey fishing in the lake successfully. Only vault toilets, but they are clean. Campground hosts are friendly. Some spigots for water. There is a tent only section with no generators. Also a group area. 5G T-Mobile. Quiet.
Traveler
Very easy to stop by when we where om the road and just needed a place to sleep. Open fields gave a nice view. Very close to the highway so easy to stop and continue our journey. Stayed in an rv, so the level surface was nice.
All in all good place to stay for the night.
Traveler
Tried this place on a whim. Lots of people pass by here but it has such a cozy homey feel we ended up loving it and extended our stay from one night to two nights. Lots of forest roads to play on near by as well if you have off-road toys.
TravelerWent up there Labor Day weekend. Wasn’t sure what we would find or how much room there would be. Got there late at night drove past the initial open area right off the road about 1/2 mile back and nothing but great open quiet spots. I will frequent here for sure
Scout
Road was marked as private property, for invited guests only.

Addendum: very annoying meat eating bees invaded while cooking dinner. Had to walk around to avoid bee entering mouth while eating. And putting away washed dishes was a challenge to keep none from entering storage bag. Otherwise the ospreys were awesome. In site B19 mid week just after Labor Day. It is quiet. Many if not most sites in B loop are reserved for tonight and following nights. Osprey, raven, great blue heron and other birds near the lake. Lake is down about 10 feet from high water mark. No swimming, just fishing and paddle craft. Sites are fairly level and paved. Distance between sites is about 100 feet in fairly dense pine forest. Outhouses are clean. Drinking water spigots. About mid 80 degree temperature. Very nice compared to the 110 deg F we had driving here from California. Has boat launch ramp, fishing dock, amphitheater. Just a couple of miles from I40.
TravelerLove this place. Was very private. Not bothered by other people. Dogs were able to run free.
TravelerStayed here one night. It’s relatively nice to be so close to 40. The road is a dirt road, so just making sure that’s listed. I parked relatively close to the highway (there’s about 15 campsites) so there was a lot of highway noise, one of the only reasons I’m giving 4 star. If you drive further back there are more secluded spots that might have less noise… wouldn’t recommend driving too far back if you have a big rig. Road may be muddy if there’s been a lot of rain, but it was very well maintained while we visited. Camping up to 14 days is permitted.

I want to know if there is a camping gear rental service there? We want to ride a motorbike there slope game
GuideVery quiet spot we had with our friends camping for the weekend. It is open range in the evening we do have some cattle around us but not in our campsite. little bit of a drive into Flagstaff but not bad.
Guide
Beautiful ground and facilties. Clean amenities.
Scout
Has everything you need for a good night stay. Small store with the basics. Friendly people. Clean and Hot…(not their fault-it’s summer). Nice place after a long drive.
GuideI only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.
Traveler
As soon as you get off the highway it’s a right then a right and your in the parking lot. Next to highway so you will hear traffic but a quick stop for sure!

Boondocking off a forest rd. There are a number of camping spots off a forest rd. Most are level. Good cell reception. There's a lake that has a nice trail and campground.
Scout
Lots of unwelcoming signs on the forest service road leading in. Decided to skip it as it was already very dark and didn’t want to try my luck 😂
ScoutHost met us coming in and was very cordial.
ScoutGreat free camping located on Rte 66. Very clean. You must go through a gate to access camping. Be sure to close the gate. The site has lots of places to pick for car and van camping. There are only a few that would fit larger travel trailers. I would check it out before accessing the spots up the hill. We stayed one night down low with no problems in mid May.
Traveler
Christine is so friendly. It's totally dry camping, with beautiful view. There's a fire pit. The ground is bare, but quite level. Perfect to park the trailer and go to the Canyon (about 30 miles) with our car only the next morning. Come back in the evening, get some ZZZZ's and continue our trip west in the morning.
Traveler
Signal for Verizon was flawless! Tall pines made for lots of separation for dry camping. But beware of rude campers with loud music.
ScoutVery wide lightly rutted dirt roads. It's April 10th today and not as muddy as you would expect. Lots and lots of spaces. I came here in the dark in a 35' class pulling a jeep and found a spot no issues
ScoutStopped for an overnight, and we had tons of privacy and quiet. All the sites have some stone fire rings, so we gathered some local pine and loved it. Excellent overnight!
Traveler
Right by the roadside but en route to Grand Canyon, staff are super helpful and emailed bathroom code quickly despite my late arrival.
The Fred Flintstone park behind is a fun extra that they don’t charge campers for. And the goats are super cute
