Grand Canyon off-grid dry-camping sites for tent and RV campers.
Enjoy the mountain air and the beautiful star-filled night sky at Gopher It Acres.
Gopher It Acres 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 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, 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 luxurious 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, 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.
