- Off-grid Arizona campground 35 minutes' drive from the Grand Canyon
- A 40-minute drive to Williams and an hour to Flagstaff
- Bottled water and firewood available; campfires and dogs allowed
Take yourself truly off the grid at a primitive site in Arizona's wilderness… no electric, no tap water, this is boondocking at its best. Pull yourself off the highway of Route 66 and pick a plot at Little Heaven Ranch, where the quiet hours between 10pm and 6am mean you can fully wrap yourself in the Dark Sky Community.
Pick out constellations and stars from the blanket-blue skies at night or stock up on your snoozing time to surmount the Grand Canyon National Park, 35 minutes’ drive away. As it's within 40 minutes’ drive of Williams too, this site is in prime position to tackle the spiralling river valley and then re-enter civilisation when you’re ready.
At 6,080 feet above sea level, the site has access to some mobile carriers, so you can scratch up a plan of action for your ventures into the nearby towns or deeper trails into nature – there are mountain peaks, ziplines and wildlife parks within reach.
Don’t worry too much about staying hydrated, as the site has cases of drinking water and loose water bottles – plus, you can stock up on potable water and food for fuel from the Grand Canyon dumpsite and Valle, 10 minutes’ drive away. There’s also non-potable water and rubbish service on site, to keep the peaceful environment in tiptop shape. And for a true campfire in the wilderness, purchase firewood on site too.
This is a true back to basics site, away from the rumpus of the city, with a majestic landscape for every type of viewing pleasure. There's no problem bringing a dog either – just be aware there are predators in the area and keep them on a lead.

Local attractions
River valleys don’t get much grander than the Grand Canyon (35 minutes’ drive). You could take the ‘premier’ mountainous rim-to-river Bright Angel Trail, lined with rest houses, or the softer option of the Grand Canyon railway right to the South Rim. If you're a 'pics or it didn’t happen' type, test out the best photography cliff-ledge spots on your route.
If your legs aren’t jelly yet, aim for the summit at Humphreys Peak (an hour and a half). It’s a steep climb… but as the highest point in Arizona, the views over craggy terrain and billowing sands stretch for miles.
Swap nature for the big city in Flagstaff (an hour) and Williams (40 minutes), a worthy stop on the historic Route 66, with diners straight out of the 1950s. If you dare, take a whizz down the Route 66 Zipline in Williams, suitable for kids too, or peer through your window panes at the bears, big cats and bison at the drive-through Bearizona Wildlife Park (40 minutes).
