AZ off-grid dry-camping sites. Enjoy the mountain air and the beautiful star-filled night sky at Gopher It Acres.
-The property became available in June 2022.
-Relax at the private sanctuary that we have created and want to share with you. Gopher It Acres is located on a unique ‘ancient oceanfront’ property, near the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
-The mountains and night sky views from this area are absolutely breathtaking!
-Our 2 private overnight campsites are within a gated, family and pet-friendly, 3-acre fenced property equipped with graveled pull-through parking, large mulch tent areas, picnic tables, solar camping lanterns, USB charging stations, limited WiFi, individual fire rings, and 16-foot fence partitions to provide element protection and additional privacy.
-Gopher It Acres has a private gender-neutral fenced-in bathhouse that has a hot shower, a sit-down compost toilet, a stand-up urinal, and a hand sink.
-Private Bathhouse is fully stocked with luxury biodegradable compostable natural personal products.
-The center stargazing lounge deck on the property is perfect for relaxing on. It has a table and camping chairs, making it suitable for use as an “outdoor kitchen” space.
-Adjacent is a large toy box that contains an amateur archery set, cornhole, balls, badminton, water guns, volleyball, dog toys, and other family yard games.
-The large metal fire chiminea located in the center of the property is stocked with firewood and tools that are accessible to guests.
-An on/off propane-powered campfire located at the center of the property is available for use alternatively.
-Gopher It Acres consists of terrain in the high dry desert at 6500’ elevation with ranch-style land and desert vegetation. We get 266 sunny days on average per year, minimal rainfall, and about 74 inches of snow per year.
-Gopher It Acres is a great destination during all seasons while traveling to the Grand Canyon or exploring what Northern Arizona has to offer.
-The property is located just off of the HWY down a 2wd accessible dirt road. During wet weather the road can be very muddy. During those times Awd/4wd and or high clearance is recommended.
