Best in Arizona: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
The most important thing for me is that my guests leave this place with memories that will turn into nostalgia. 40 huge, PRIVATE acres in the country of northern Arizona, The Spark can host the single camper looking for a quiet and private retreat, or the sleepy traveler who simply needs a place to park and snooze in their vehicle - all the way up to your large group and event! I am only here to make sure you have a safe and private place to camp the way YOU want! Dazzling night sky with near zero light pollution! Fabulous sunset views! Warm, gorgeous sunrises! Potential for wildlife! Cool rocks! Cool plants! Cool bugs! Family friendly. Pet friendly. MJ and such friendly. Come spend the night outside!!!

Famous Easy Breezy Desert Shelter!
Unfortunately we haven't met our host, as he was away when we arrived. Everything was as described an honestly exceeded our expectations. The spot is nice, the view is breathtaking. Would come back, if I've got the chance to visit the area again

Loved camping on Clifford's land! We had a beautiful view, were able to make a fire with some purchased wood, and also was able to walk around and explore a bit of the land. Definitely a great getaway!

Great night in the shelter
The Easy Breezy Desert Shelter at A Spark in the Dark was exactly what we needed. We were looking for a one-night stay on the way to the Grand Canyon. We ended up sleeping in the shelter, and it was perfect. The sunset was incredible, and everything was as described.

BEST TRIP EVER!
My friend and I had such a great time at this campsite! Clifford is the nicest coolest guy I’ve ever met. He has so many fun features and activities at his campsite that really sets it apart from other sites. The scenery is to die for and it’s an hour and a half away from granite basin lake which is a very nice lake to go swim and cool off at. I would 10/10 recommend!!!

Gracious host.
This host was so amazing, I stayed one night and he helped me identify an issue with my car after he saw me working on it. Luckily he had a obd car scanner to see the code and issue. He helped another camper trying to find their dog. He definitely goes out of the way to exceed the expectations.

The Spark is Lit!
Clifford has set up the chillest little campground. It was quiet and dark, the night sky was brilliant. Take the nature trail and see jackrabbit and tiny barrel cacti. Be on the lookout for the hidden homemade walking stick, if you find it then it’s yours. We searched high and low but luck wasn’t on our side this time. Also, be sure to follow Clifford’s detailed directions and you’ll have no trouble finding it.
