Pitch your tent or park your camper among towering Saguaros with stunning mountain views in every direction. Bring your camera or your horses! This is the perfect spot for relaxing, stargazing, and soaking in those famous Arizona sunsets. You’ll have a spacious, private campsite all to yourself—I only allow one booking at a time to ensure a peaceful and personal experience.
Please note: This is a working horse ranch, which means you'll see fencing, trailers, and occasional activity from people helping keep the ranch running. While your campsite is private, our property is just over two acres—so you'll also see neighboring homes. If you're looking for complete solitude with no sights, sounds, or smells of ranch life, I recommend dispersed camping elsewhere.
My 2.2-acre private horse ranch is home to:
• 8 rescue horses
• 2 donkeys
• 8 mini pigs and a few chickens!
…all ready to meet and greet!
Trail access? Absolutely.
Hiking and horseback riding trails lead directly from the property into Spur Cross Conservation Area—or take a short 10-minute drive to a main trailhead. Black Mountain Hiking Trail is also nearby and offers panoramic views of the valley. You can even ride your horse into town and tie up at the local cowboy bars!
⸻
A few things to note:
• The landscape varies with the season—there won’t be green grass in the summer
• Please keep pets away from cactus—they bite!
• We’re located in a desert neighborhood, so please respect the nearby homes. My house and neighbors house will be in view from your campsite.
• A horse corral (50 ft round pen) is available to rent—message me if interested!
⸻
Looking for more adventure? Lake Pleasant, Bartlett Lake, Tonto National Forest, Seven Springs, and other scenic destinations are a short drive away. Need supplies? Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and more are just 10 minutes down the road. Want to explore a truly unique cowboy town? Cave Creek is full of Old West charm, with saloons, quirky shops, live music, and horses sharing the road with motorcycles.

Welcome to Red Rock Roping! Where you will be a close 3 mile drive to old town Cave Creek restaurants, bars, and shopping strip. But far enough to enjoy a quiet and peaceful scenery of mountains, sunsets and sunrises. Don’t forget to kick your feet up, and end your night to enjoy a wide open view of the stars! Also, keep your eyes open for desert critters such as rattlesnakes, tarantulas, scorpions, deer, road runners, bob cats, and coyotes. We ask please do not pet, catch, feed or leave any food out that will attract them. Enjoy them from a picture away :)
Our 2 accessible acres will give you 360 view of mountains, our Red Rock Roping arena, and a Saloon to gather under to enjoy cool refreshments, and a meal with your friends/family. Right outside our entrance going North on 80th Street you can hike over to the Grapevine Wash which is a short walk away from the Cave Creek Town Trail System for hiking and horseback riding, and if you’re adventurous you can hike up 2 miles of a 800’ climb on a gravel road/trails to “Mexican Hat” for an even more incredible view! We are a 30 amp full hook up (sewer, water & electrical) for 33’ RV’s and living quarters horse trailers. You will also have access to our community laundry area, with a large garbage can to dump a bag if needed.
Some suggestions for town; Grab some quick delicous breakfast and coffee at Janey’s. Or American cuisine lunch at The Horny Toad, a Mexican cuisine dinner while watching the turtles in the pond at El Encanto! Ofrenda, right at the end of the road, also has great authentic Mexican cuisine. Many restaurants to choose from all within a short drive. Bashas, Safeway, Target, and Walmart and Sprouts are all within a 3-6 mile drive too!
We have two turnout pens for horses. That are located right behind where you will park your trailer. They both have a cover that provides some shade, as well as running water. We do not provide any feed, so please make sure you bring some! We ask that you please do not feed any horses that do not belong to you. Or go into any pen that your horse is not in. For safety and respect :) Thank you in advance.

For adults 18+ only. Hazardous terrain!! Welcome to Sacred Springs, a tranquil, getaway for adults seeking relaxation. This 8-acre haven is not suitable for children under 18 due to the natural terrain, river access, and steep cliffs.
Positioned between Montezuma Castle National Monument and Montezuma Well, Sacred Springs invites you to reconnect with yourself and the ancient beauty surrounding you.

The Spirit of Sacred Springs

A treehouse in the city of Phoenix?! Yes. Our 1 acre property just outside of the heart of Central Phoenix has two legacy pine trees, one of which holds a treehouse that was originally built as an extra space for our family and is now open for guests.
Not too long ago, our neighborhood roads were dirt, and there are still several horse ranches in the neighborhood. Hiking trails start at the end of our street leading to the Phoenix Mountains and a 3 minute drive will get you to Dreamy Draw Park and Piestewa Peak, with endless miles of hiking and grand views of the city.

Pitch your tent or park your van in a designated site of your choosing on 21 acres either tucked in the mesquite bosque, near the creek (hike-in) or among the sycamores (drive-in).

What a unique surprise this was! The camp sites sit atop a cliff overlooking the spring and grotto. The swimming hole beneath is cold and refreshing-we had a ball taking a dip. Cool outdoor shower or more traditional as well as a sweet little community room with kitchen. Gary and Darren are so thoughtful and have little touches of creativity and care everywhere!

Sacred Springs is such a special spot. You can feel the peaceful energy of the land the moment you arrive. It’s beautiful, quiet, and the perfect place to unplug and spend time in nature.
The hosts have created such a thoughtful space for campers. There are paddle boards right by the water, fun rock painting, hot showers, and a fully stocked community room that makes everything feel comfortable and welcoming. It’s clear a lot of love has gone into making this place special for guests.
I absolutely loved my stay here and already can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for a peaceful and unique place to camp, Sacred Springs is a little gem. Highly recommend

Where to begin! From the moment we booked our site at Sacred Springs, Gary and Daren were thoughtful, communicative, flexible and seemingly the kindest hosts. While all that remained true throughout our stay, it doesn’t even begin to describe the level of wonderful that is Gary and Daren. They have expertly crafted the vibes at Sacred Springs - from your tour in the beginning, the lighting throughout the property at night, the beautiful walk down to the grotto, where you’re welcomed with art supplies and a craft table, down to the creek where you’ll find the most comfortable hammocks, a plethora of kayaks and paddle boards, and the most beautiful rock formations where the water reflects onto, in their community room they have thought of EVERYTHING you may need, the hot shower you can take or the refreshing solar shower (by the way, they provide towels and they smell SO GOOD), a pristine outdoor bathroom, the campsite was perfect - overlooking the ridge, equipped with multiple size grills for cooking over, they have created several sitting spaces around the property that are so intentional and perfect for sunrise, sunset, a romantic moment or simply a restful sit. We had the pleasure of chatting with Gary and Daren throughout our trip and they felt like friends we had known previously. I cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Sacred Springs. We left feeling rejuvenated and already planning our return. Thank you Gary and Daren for creating such a wonderful space 🤍

This is a large spot next to Gene’s property with great, easy access to the Verde River. You are in a rural neighborhood so not only do you have the river to lull you to sleep but you may hear cows, dogs and even a donkey every once in awhile. The spot is next to a road that is used by others taking advantage of the river but it is day use only so you do not get any road noise at night. There are plenty of cozy spots to pick on the property. If you have a trailer, you will need to do some leveling and backing up can be a bit tight. It is a great choice if you want to play in the Verde!

Margarita Ranch is such a unique and beautiful place to stay! It was the perfect introduction to the Phoenix area for us. So many huge, beautiful saguaros, super dark at night to see the sky lit up with stars, and the friendliest pigs, horses, and donkeys to pet. Macy was a super communicative and hospitable host. We even found a wonderful hike to do after we checked out that was an under 15 minute drive from the site— Jewel of the Creek Preserve. We had such a great time.

Roxanne was awesome to deal with. Very responsive. We booked last minute and couldn't be happier. The campsite is great. The small patio with table and chairs, and string lights really set the vibe. This location was super convenient to my wife's conference in Phoenix. We stayed one night. Now, a remote campsite this is not. It is a quaint corner in a large suburban lot, but that's why it works so well. It is situated perfectly for privacy, peace and quiet, and is also a lovely setting. Would highly recommend.
