Come experience the peace and solitude of the beautiful high desert in southeast Arizona. We’re situated on 110 acres of wild desert land, generously populated with low desert trees, native grasses, wildflowers, washes, hills, and valleys — and even a magnificent emory oak tree.
We welcome guests who appreciate a quiet place to park and find peace. There are plenty of areas to hike and explore on the property, including a few historic ruins from the nearby ghost town of Gleeson, which was a bustling mining town in the late 1800s.
Our land borders both BLM and State Trust Land, open for public use and exploration. Centrally located in Cochise County, we offer easy access to countless opportunities for outdoor adventure and historical exploration.
While you’re here, plan a visit to the Old West town of Tombstone and the vibrant, quirky mining town of Bisbee. Take day trips to Chiricahua National Monument, Kartchner Caverns State Park, or enjoy hiking around Miller Peak and the San Pedro River.
And don’t forget to save time for Arizona’s wine country — with several vineyards and wineries located just a short drive away.

This property is at the base of the Mule Mountains with views looking over the San Pedro River to the Huachuca Mountains, the lights of Sierra Vista and San Pedro Mexico.
It's two miles away from the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, a popular trailhead for birdwatchers, hikers, and mountain bikers. It's just a 30 minute drive to Old Bisbee, a historic mining town with a vibrant music and art scene.
Also within a half hour drive, you can reach the Coronado National Monument, or Miller Canyon.
There is excellent cell coverage from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T
And... if you happen to fly a paramotor, you hit the jackpot. Just next to the camping spot, there is a landing zone. If you want to fly here, please get familiar with the local airspace. The riparian area has a 2000' requested minimum altitude. West of the river is restricted airspace and the boarder defense zone starts just six miles to the South. Heading to the North, then East, you are all clear. It's best to fly when the wind is coming from the West or South.

Such a peaceful stay on Stephanie’s land. Stephanie and her husband were such kind hosts. We wanted to hike around their property and they gave us a map and also gave us some great historical sites to walk to. Each campsite was quite spacious and level. My husband and I were able to really relax. I highly recommend Stephanie’s land and I will definitely return when we pass through again.

As Janet's first hip camper we were pleased with the spot a nice wide open space with access to electricity and water. We could hear the birds chirp and even saw some bunnies. It was nice to be close to the hustle and bustle while still having a place to stay where we could get away and have some peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend staying if you have a chance.

Amazing view of the mountains! This is a rural neighborhood with lots of 1-5 acre lots. It’s a perfect spot to be for, hiking, birding, mt biking. The river is close too. Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns and wine country all close for site seeing. Lisa and Dean are great and are creating a very cool space for art and healing. I loved walking the labyrinth!

Loved this camp spot, felt private the whole time. I needed somewhere to camp for a few days to hunt quail with my dogs, left thousands of dollars in camping gear unattended most of the day and everything was safe. Great views, amazing night sky. For tent campers, you will be unable to pound in ground stakes. I use a 1/2" impact wrench and 12" lags for my canvas tent and it took some time to find spots where we could fully sink most of the lags. Got it done and had a great time, will return for another hunt.

Quiet, private, and easily accessible, this campsite was a perfect retreat. The sunsets were breathtaking, painting the sky in vibrant hues, while the sunrises offered a peaceful start to the day. At night, the stars were absolutely stunning, creating a magical view that felt like you could almost reach out and touch them. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking for a serene and scenic escape.
