Off a dirt road about 15 minutes from Petrified Forest National Park, Desert Skies spreads across open terrain where campers can pull up and set up anywhere they choose. The access road requires careful navigation, particularly in sandy sections where vehicles can get stuck, though the on-site hosts assist with recoveries when needed.
The campground operates on dispersed camping principles with level areas cleared for RVs and tents. Fire pits and grills are available, and the hosts maintain the sites free of debris. Cell service reaches the property, and the elevated location provides clear views for stargazing. Scout W. notes the site host "was an awesome site host" and helped pull their van out of sand using "a huge mad max style truck."
Host availability has varied according to recent visitor experiences, with some finding disconnected contact numbers and maintenance issues. The property sits close to other camping options including Quail Hallow and Petrified Forest Campground. Rates range from $20-65 per night with reservations available through multiple booking platforms. Campers planning visits to the nearby national park will find this a convenient base for exploring the area.
