Petrified Forest Campground

We are on a trip and wanted to stop in the petrified forest and also experience a dark sky. We did get there in daylight. The site is lovely, nearby to the Petrified National Forest without feeling like your are close to much of anything. Mother nature had a dust storm to move through so we didn't get to see the stars, but that didn't stop us from having an amazing sunset and a wonderful night's sleep. The road is a bit tricky, but we found it with only one u-turn (a win when I'm in an unfamiliar place, if you ask me) and we would stay here again. The desert scenery is amazing.

Overall this site fit my exact needs,thank you to the property owner for the late checkout

Super quiet and peaceful the night sky you could see pretty much every star in the sky. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you to the house for the superb directions visit visiting from Germany! We have been shared your information with our friends in the states.

Good points were quier,great night sky, any sized rig can park and be level. Thee End! Windy, Dusty cow pasture. Directions sketchy. Park by neighbors dump. Same cost could have full hook ups at campground.

We were super fortunate to stay on a clear night. Our first experience boondocking! (Had to google what that was) We are New Zealander’s we would call that ‘out in the wop wops’

Here are some images we took while we tent camp on the property, very quiet and peaceful there I must reiterate, and even though there’s other campers, it has a feeling of privacy if you’re looking for somewhere more comfortable to pull off from Route 66 this is the place!

This place was about 3 miles off of the highway in Holbrook, Arizona about 10 minutes from the petrified national Forest. We went to a lot of the local places,Meteor Crayer,the Old historic WimWam hotel to look at the cars,the Blue Mesa and the petrified forest itself. It was a peaceful little Boondock style campsite. The host was great. Gave us an extra free night for this review. 

I’m giving them five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ . We will be back again.

Thank you for having us

This property has a wide open beautiful view of the stars in the sky,it’s also very peaceful & even with other campers it still feels very private!

The ONLY issue with the stay was the price. It was over 40 for 2 adults and 2 dogs. The view and peace is amazing. The host was VERY responsive and helpful all the way. I would definitely stay again. We are passing thru for work. But this stay was quite the view. A completely different kind of campground that I have ever stayed at. This is more like dispersed camping aka boondocking. We can see where other people have left some trash behind, so we picked it up. But if u want PEACE AND QUITE AND A BEAUTIFUL VIEW, this is the place.

I stayed for a few days and had a great time,the stars at night are magnificent!

Host was responsive and provided great directions, location was close to the Petrified Forest and 100% boondocking. Plenty of space to spread out and relax, awesome sunset and sunrise views. Unfortunately we were there during a fire ban, so no campfire for us, but still had a great evening. It is an open area so be careful with the winds if you have a lighter, top heavy rig. Only complaint would be the neighbors aren't the most tidy, trash was blowing around from their compound.

Right off the highway in Holbrook/Sun Valley AZ. 10 minutes from the Petrified National Forest.

Super close to petrified forest, roads are easy to get over with any awd car with decent clearance. Host was very nice and easy to contact! Just make sure to ask/clarify directions before going it's not too obvious when you get in initially.
