When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home." I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be. So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Tent site · Sleeps 2
Pitch your tent on our pea gravel pad with a breath taking view of the Catalina Mountains. Enjoy nature while camped along Woodland Wash with direct access to hiking. Situated 1.5 miles from trail heads, Mount Lemmon, and shopping which gives you the best of all worlds. Located at the back of our 4.5 acre property, you have privacy and will enjoy Sonoran nature all around. Amenities include access to private full bath in our bunkhouse (with a shower!), fire ring (including fire wood), picnic table, water at the camp site, and a view of some pretty cool horses. A couple of them are neighbors to the camp site. This is a working horse barn. You will see horses moved about, see them go out on rides, and hear and smell them. The property is well maintained allowing our guests to enjoy the western feel without being overpowered. Traveling with your own equine friend? Stalls available for them as well. Just ask.  We have two large dogs, Max and Brystal. They are laid back and enjoys hosting campers. They think they are all their friends. You will see them and they may wonder through your campsite while you are here. If you prefer not to meet them, no worries at all. They doesn't take offense. Just let us know.   This site is designed for tent camping only. It is not well suited to people sleeping in their cars, roof top camping, or camper vans. We encourage those guests to consider one of our two RV sites.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Julie and Mark's campsite offers a unique experience with its close proximity to horses and other farm animals. Most visitors appreciate the hosts' friendliness and the peaceful environment, though some note the lack of privacy due to the active nature of the ranch and the presence of security cameras. The campsite is conveniently located near outdoor attractions like Saguaro National Park and Mt. Lemmon, making it a great base for exploration. Clean facilities and the opportunity to interact with the animals are highlights, though those sensitive to the smell of horse manure might find it less idyllic.

    What an awesome place! Yes you’re right next to the horses, but I actually quite enjoyed their presence. It felt very private and whenever work had to be done, everyone respected my privacy but was also willing to chat! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Tucson area, great access to Saguaro and Mt. Lemmon.

  • Recommends

    We had a great stay at Julie’s place. We enjoyed being near the horses and other animals, and the place was convenient to the west section of Saguaro National Park. Julie and Mark were great hosts and made sure we had what we needed.

  • Recommends

    This location was suitable for my needs. However, if you are someone who wants a lot of privacy, this might not be a good fit since it’s an active working ranch. There will be people walking in close proximity to the tent area to tend to the horses there. For me, I wasn’t bothered by this but if privacy is of utmost importance to you, take note. Also, be aware that there are two friendly dogs on the property that may come up to you. I am comfortable around dogs, but if you have any fear around dogs, also take note. The area was quiet, peaceful, and clean. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot. I felt safe and enjoyed all three nights that I stayed there. The location is very convenient for access to outdoor recreation spaces. There isn’t much in the way of shade in the camping area, so just plan accordingly if you will be visiting during hot months.
