About
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.
-Local Attractions/Resources-
-Just a 6-minute drive from us is the quaint community of Grand Canyon Junction, AZ which includes but is not limited to resources like:
-Raptor Ranch Bird Sanctuary. This is also where the Flintstones Bedrock City is located. If you and the family are ready for a YABBA DABBA DOO good time, check this out! The park also has a great convenience store with great snacks, souvenirs, and camp supplies (like ice and propane), also a cafeteria for dine-in options. Here you can also use their public bathroom and paid laundry facilities.
-Chevron Gas Station
-Mobile Gas Station
-Grand Canyon Inn Hotel
-Valle Airport (I am a paramotor pilot and would love to talk planes and ultralight aircraft with you.)
-Planes of Fame Museum
-The Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance- is just 24 miles away from the property.
-Tusayan, AZ: 22 miles from the property, you can watch the Grand Canyon in one of Northern Arizona's largest IMAX theaters. I highly recommend it! This town also has traditional chain restaurants and tourist shops.
