RV sites
The RV sites have electric and water hookups. There is a dump station on the property, connected to the septic system.
A second graveled area near the gate takes extra trailers, boats, and side-by-sides, clear of the drive.
Tell us how many RVs you plan to bring and how long each one is. We will tell you where each one goes.
Tents
There is a lot of flat ground on the property for tents. The lodge and the other buildings sit on about 5 acres. The other 12 acres are untouched forest, and you can use all of it.
There are no marked tent sites yet, and there are no lights at the tents. Bring headlamps and lanterns.
Ask us before you book. We will show you the flat ground that suits the size of your group.
Fires
There is one firepit, with seating around it and a hose beside it. We provide the firewood.
There are no separate fire rings at the tents yet. Use the firepit for all fires.
Check the Coconino County fire restrictions before you light any fire. In the driest weeks, outdoor fires are banned, and the ban is enforced.
Bathrooms, kitchen, and shelter
Campers use the bathrooms in the lodge. There are six.
The kitchen has a full-size range, a dishwasher, and a coffee bar. Two propane grills sit on the deck.
In July and August, a short storm arrives most afternoons. When it does, go inside to the family room, the theater, or the game room.
Forest roads and distances
The Coconino National Forest is on every side of the property. Hundreds of miles of dirt forest road start close by, for hiking, mountain bikes, ATVs, side-by-sides, and dirt bikes.
Unload the trailers on the graveled area near the gate, and ride out from there. Mountain bikes can also ride the 12 acres of untouched forest on the property.
Blue Ridge Reservoir is about 15 minutes away. Flagstaff and Payson are each about 45 minutes away.
The property is at 7,500 feet, so nights are cold for most of the year. Bring sleeping bags rated for the season.
Not finished yet
Ask before you plan around these
They are not here yet. Ask us where each one stands for your date.
- Marked tent sites
- Planned. Level, marked, and lit tent areas, each with its own fire ring. Until they are built, use the flat ground and the firepit.
Group size
The lodge is set up for up to 30 guests. The beds sleep 20 adults comfortably. In a group of 30, children share beds, use the air mattresses, or bring sleeping bags.
RVs and tents on the property are not part of the 30. A travel trailer delivered to an RV site sleeps four to eight. If your group is larger than 30, ask us.
A much larger group can need county permits and other items, such as restrooms, parking, and access for fire trucks. Those add time and cost.
