Description

Hey, I’m Clifford—Dudeist Priest, campground owner and host, and the Dude you’ll probably spot wandering around with Sandy, my heeler/Jack Russell mix who’s pretty sure she runs the place (and honestly, she’s not wrong). I run a 40 acre private campground called A Spark in the Dark Campground here in Ash Fork, Arizona, where you get wide-open skies, quiet nights, and a little bit of genuine weirdness you just can’t buy in stores. I started this place with one goal: to make it a safe, relaxed spot for good people and their dogs to enjoy the outdoors without hassle. Whether you want to explore the trail, nap under the junipers, or just watch your pup sprint around like their life depends on it, you’re in good company here. I keep things laid-back and personal—no stuffy rules, just good vibes and a real respect for nature (and dog hair). Lots of room to run, lizards to chase, and a fully fenced 40 acres is yours to wander! Keep in mind that the fence is a 4 wire cattle fence with wildlife-friendly wire at the bottom. I’m usually on-site and happy to help with anything you need. So come on out! Unplug, unwind, and get a little dirt between your toes (or paws). :)

My centrally located Prescott home is truly a dog's dream come true! I invite you and your furry family members to come on over for a good roll in the grass (that means humans too...go ahead, roll in it - it feels good)! Happy to fire up the sprinklers if it will make your dog happy! In the summer months, my fruit trees are off the hook and you will find fruit everywhere...both on the trees, and on the ground. Please pick to your hearts desire! My dogs spend their days getting their daily dose of fiber. If you're concerned about your pets eating apricots, pears, or apples, please check with me before reserving. Hope to see you and your dogs at my place! **please make your reservations at least two hours in advance.** Thank you!
