Tucked into the cool, forested heart of Oak Creek Canyon, the original TinyCamp is located on historic Thompson Road, one of the oldest routes in the region—dating back to 1876. Once known as Indian Gardens, this sacred spot sits at the confluence of Munds Creek and Oak Creek, just north of Sedona. Nestled between Sedona and Flagstaff, TinyCamp is blessed with freshwater springs, shady canyon walls, and swimming holes perfect for cooling off all summer long. With towering red rock views, lush forest canopies, and a peaceful mountain setting, this hidden gem is one of the most unforgettable places to celebrate, explore, and unwind during your summer getaway.
