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.
Because Playa Ponderosa is privately owned and over 7 miles from the nearest residence, it is the perfect getaway for groups of all sorts and sizes – affording you the freedom to quietly reflect on the beauty of nature, howl like a wolf, or enjoy target shooting safely & responsibly. At 7,200 feet of elevation with in-season highs between 70 and 80 degrees – Playa Ponderosa is the ideal location for all things outdoors.
I've spent many years heading up to this gorgeous plot of land, from smaller events to one of my favorite festivals. One of my favorite ways to get back into nature and out of the city.
