· · · Our Friendly Resort · · ·

Only a mile from either exit 242 or 244 off I-17, 40 miles north of Phoenix, Black Canyon City is a quaint Arizona mining town. Far enough from the highway to render the 18-wheelers inaudible but close enough to make trips to Phoenix or Flagstaff a breeze.

The Resort is a quiet resort with beautiful mountain views to the east and west. A full-time management and maintenance staff keeps the park well manicured and running smoothly.

· · · Our Surroundings · · ·

The impressive Bradshaw Mountains, home of a gold rush in the 1870s (more history), hedge the valley on both sides.  The back of our property abuts the Western Bradshaws and the Eastern Bradshaws are on the other side of the valley.  The resort has a beautiful desert-themed landscaping as well as historic wagons throughout the park.

Sunsets, sunrises, and even moonrises can be spectacular.  And of course the stars appear by the millions at night.  Bring your binoculars and camera!

For larger gatherings, we have an additional room that we use for our potluck dinners and occassional parties. This room is available for short-term and long-term resident groups to use for their own gatherings.

And please help yourself to our free morning coffee!

Nearby Cities and Sites
· · · Black Canyon City · · ·

Black Canyon City is a small, self-sufficient, community. It offers two mini-marts, two gas stations, hardware store, 4+ restaurants, several churches, library, post office, fire and rescue, bank, a small medical center, dollar stores, a discount furniture store, and a community building.  Most businesses in town close between 8:00pm and 9:00pm daily creating a quiet setting we enjoy.

Nearby are many places to hike or run or ride (horseback, quad, or 4-wheeling) including a local park that features desert hiking trails and a view of our city. Lake Pleasant, with 10,000 acres of water, 50 miles of shoreline and a major resort, is just 30 miles (35 minutes) away off of AZ-74.  From there it's a short jump to historic Wikenburg, and don't miss the thrilling ride up AZ-89 from there to Prescott.  Bring your camera but not a fear of heights.

For Black Canyon City businesses and area photographs visit our Chamber of Commerce.

Fourteen miles to our south the community of Anthem offers two large supermarkets, Walmart Supercenter, outlet mall (pickup a mall map in our office) Hampton Inn, Dennys, Del Taco, McDonalds, Starbucks, Osco Drugs, Walgreens, Ace Hardware and other restaurants, stores and services too numerous to mention.

Anthem is an upscale community in the desert that is growing in leaps and bounds. New services open in Anthem on a monthly basis.

40 miles north is Camp Verde.  You'll find cooler temperatures there and if you take the crazy notion to see snow during winter you can often find it within an hour or two's drive.

Phoenix, second in size only to Los Angeles in the Western US is 25 miles to our south.  Don't miss our State Fair in late October and early November.
