A Ghost Town Frozen in Time
Experience one of the most unique destinations in the Harvest Hosts network at the Wilds of Arizona CampOut tucked away in Ash Creek Canyon. This immersive weekend blends high-desert adventure with deep local history. Explore waterfalls and hidden creek beds, step inside historic mines, and learn the story of Chrysotile from those who know it best.
With guided canyon hikes, underground tours, optional off-road excursions, and evenings spent around a campfire under some of the darkest skies in the southwest, this Campout offers a balance of exploration and relaxation.
This is a "choose-your-own-adventure" weekend designed for Harvest Hosts and Escapees RV Club Members, who love to explore off the beaten path.
This is a DRY CAMPING event in a remote wilderness setting. Maximum Rig length 32 feet. Your rig must be fully self-contained, and your vehicle must be capable of navigating a steep, rugged mountain access road.
Discover the wonders of Ash Creek Canyon
