Nestled discreetly in the scenic wilderness of Coconino National Forest, Playa Ponderosa is a rare hidden gem that has built a reputation as a premier private camping and outdoor event space in the Flagstaff area. Boasting 75 acres of wide open space surrounded by well-shaded camping nooks in the ancient pines, this unique property provides a much-needed respite from suburban sprawl and the modern world.
