About
This high-desert location sits directly outside the south entrance to the Petrified Forest National Park, offering RV guests the most convenient access to the park imaginable. Arriving early for an 8 a.m. park opening is effortless, and departing after a day of exploration is equally seamless. The property features spacious, level gravel and concrete pad sites with pull-through options accommodating rigs of all sizes, plus covered picnic tables at select locations that provide welcome shade and gathering spaces.
The expansive gift shop and museum showcase an impressive collection of locally sourced petrified wood, crystals, gemstones, and Native American art—offering both practical souvenirs and truly unique pieces that capture the region's natural beauty. The staff consistently earn praise for their warmth, knowledge, and helpfulness, creating a welcoming atmosphere whether guests arrive early, late, or outside regular business hours. Free coffee available in the mornings adds a thoughtful touch that guests appreciate.
Positioned at the edge of a vast, open high-desert landscape, this location offers something increasingly rare: genuinely dark skies perfect for stargazing and observing the Milky Way. The property is surrounded by natural petrified tree stumps and fallen wood, creating an authentic sense of place. Quiet nights are the norm, with minimal highway noise once evening falls, and spectacular sunrises and sunsets are standard views from nearly every parking spot.
Optional electrical hookups are available for guests preferring powered sites, while boondocking spots accommodate fully self-contained rigs. The nearest services lie approximately eighteen miles away in Holbrook, making it essential to arrive fully prepared with water, fuel, and supplies.
