Two Guns Ghost Town

Ghost town ruins and abandoned infrastructure create an unusual camping backdrop at this dispersed site off Interstate 40. Campers park among the remnants of a former RV park, complete with numbered power poles and graffitied structures that tell stories of the area's commercial past. The property sits on private land owned by Historic Two Guns Property LLC, with Arizona State trust land available nearby for those requiring permits.

Large RVs navigate the access road successfully, though conditions become challenging after rain. One reviewer managed a 35-foot fifth wheel to level ground near the back sections, while another maneuvered a 30-foot bumper pull "all the way to the back by the zoo" despite tight clearances. The proximity to I-40 means constant highway noise and visible headlights from passing traffic, though several campers found the sound manageable for overnight stays.

The site lacks established amenities like fire rings or designated tent areas. "No good tent spots, had to pitch tents in the road," notes one visitor, highlighting the challenging terrain for ground-level camping. Cell service remains strong with multiple bars reported for Verizon users. Campers explore the nearby canyon bridge ruins and what locals call "death caves," adding historical intrigue to the stay.

For those wanting more structured accommodations, Meteor Crater RV Park provides full hookups just over three miles east.

Campers regularly cited level parking spots suitable for large RVs and fascinating historical exploration opportunities. Many mentioned manageable highway noise from nearby I-40, though amenities are minimal at this ghost town location.

Looks like this is private land

As soon as you pull off the highway, there's an obvious ongoing commercial operation, just past the graffiti gas station. As you go straight down the road to the south, you will enter an abandoned RV park as evidenced by the numbered power poles. If you turn west (right) before the graffiti gas station you will come to the ruins and Diablo Canyon bridge. However, my app shows that the area is all part of Historic Two Guns Property LLC, and if you travel further south of the highway you find yourself on Hopi owned land (not part of the reservation). The ruins themselves are also on Historic Two Guns properties LLC, which I read may be owned by actor Russell Crowe and was bought in 2011 for a remake of Westworld. There is some really good graffiti on the remaining structures from the RV park. There is Arizona State trust land about 1/2 mile to either side of this private property which does require a $15 to $20 permit to camp for up to 14 days. Directly across the highway is a parcel of Arizona State trust land if you are reluctant to stay here on private property.

Pretty nice but with some drawbacks

GPS coordinates were not exact, no real clear fire rings. No good tent spots, had to pitch tents in the road. Close enough to the highway that the lights from cars are clearly visible. Clearly a drinking spot.

That said, GORGEOUS views of the sky.

Beautiful, historic & remote!

A super great place to stay! We have a 30 ft bumper pull and my husband (who is a FANTASTIC driver) was able to maneuver it all the way to the back by the zoo! It was a very tight squeeze but do-able. Strongly recommend 4x4 if it’s been raining. The road noise and light pollution from i40 was the biggest down fall but definitely still beautiful! Definitely recommend if you’re into history!

Fun to explore!

Plenty of fairly flat spots next to this old ghost town. The dogs and I had fun exploring the ruins. There aren't any trees and its close to I-40 but the noise isn't too bad.

I think it is fascinating

I find this kind of off the beaten path non-commercial history fascinating. The canyon is very pretty. A number of cars came by with people checking it out. We were the only ones camping. We have a 35 ft 5th wheel.and it was easy to maneuver and find a level spot. We were right by 40but the noise wasn't bad.

Hidden gem in plain sight

I stay here for 3 days while visiting meteor crater. There is a constant background of traffic on I-40 but for the most part it's pretty eventless. Not only is this a ghost town but is a ghost RV park as well. I visited the nearby death caves. Very interesting.
