This collaborative spirit helped forge strong bonds among the community. As the campground flourished, discussions arose about the necessity of a community building. The land for this project was acquired from the BLM under the Public Purpose Act, and funding was generated through various community events, including fish fries, barbecues, and bake sales.

2 nights at Captivating Sonoran Skies

Reading the reviews for this place you might find folks raving about Joyce and how helpful and nice she is. Well, it’s all true!! It is quite close to the road, but come nightfall, it was quiet and peaceful. Easy to get to, and Ajo is 10 miles down the road. There was a binder set on our colorful picnic table with all there is to do around there! We wished we could have stayed longer to get to know Joyce and hear some of her stories. (We also enjoyed her Scottish accent!😉)
