Amazing hosts, so friendly. The space is close to restaurants and shopping and was nice and quiet. Power, water and sewer were easy to access. We look forward to staying again!

I stayed at Site #1 and was immediately impressed by how thoughtfully everything was set up. The space is huge with wide-open views, and the little details—like the soft nighttime lighting—make it feel both beautiful and functional after dark. It’s just bright enough to see without taking away from the calm, peaceful vibe.
Even though I never met the host in person, he was absolutely amazing. We texted back and forth quite a bit, and when I ran into an issue with my 30-amp plug, he walked offered to let me come up to his property to use his own plug adapter. That level of support really meant a lot.
I highly, highly recommend this place. It’s quiet, calming, and incredibly relaxing—exactly what I needed.

This place is so interesting. Some new detail at every turn. I loved it here. Very clean, shower was wonderful. My dog likes to run and this was a bit confining for her. I could have stayed a week. Very relaxing and quiet for sleeping. Highly recommend.

The moment we arrived we knew we would extend. The Camp is very laid back with marvelous hosts. Everything appears to be well thought through. Wonderful showers with nice hot water and enough hooks for the stuff. The Magical Mushroom itself was very special. We did not need our tent and slept inside. It kept us cosy and warm during the chilly nights. Overall we loved our stay. A real gem hidden among the saguaros.

Barb’s space is lovely, complete with a koi pond and shaded picnic spot. She has created quite the little haven of relaxation. Outdoor bathroom/shower was perfect, exactly what we needed for our one night. I will say, there was quite a bit of road noise, which was unavoidable but not awesome.

We had the most amazing stay at Lionel’s. Beautiful property to spend our little getaway. All hookups worked and there were no issues finding the location. Lionel was kind and accommodating when I made a mistake in our booking. The Mountain Views, the land, and wildlife were very much enjoyed. We look forward to our next trip. Thank you Lionel!!

The camp hosts were terrific for both recommendations and chatting. I loved the lighting and decor. The toilets, shower and dishwashing sink were clean and easy to use. The proximity to the nat'l park and the desert museum were bonuses.

I loved tent camping at the Saguaro camp, especially the Lovey Dovey where we stayed! The Saguaro camp is so cute and the camp site is exactly what we needed. We had enough privacy, all the amenities were great and very cute dog park since we were traveling with our pup.

This was my first time camping and I do have to say it was phenomenal. the houses that were around were not too close, so it felt very private. Being my first time camping I did enjoy being able to hear people in the far far distance, actually made me feel more safe quite. A few coyotes being vocal throughout the night and local residents dogs were barking randomly which I did enjoy hearing different kinds of dogs barking. Truly felt comfortable and absolutely love the open view of the mountains. the Sunset was absolutely gorgeous would absolutely recommend!!!

Sleeping in the desert under a starry sky, listening to coyotes calling to one another (and yes, a few dogs) - a thin layer of fabric the only thing between us and the wild. There was only 1 other tent—most people park RVs - but we didn’t hear generators - and everyone was friendly and respectful. Campsites are widely spaced, level gravel, very clean. The campground is artsy, funky, and fun, with lights highlighting the cacti at night. Beautiful sunsets! And hot running water, laundry, showers, flush toilets - such luxury! We loved this place! Such a gem just outside the city! Treasures to be found in the gift shop, reasonably priced. We ended up staying a 2nd night in the “Magic Mushroom,” which at the end of November was a bit warmer. Highly recommend— many thanks to the owners / hosts for taking a piece of property and turning it into something we can all enjoy.

What a cozy sanctuary! So many sweet and intentional touches to this serene and peaceful space! Our host Barbara was very welcoming and kind and showed us all the many unique things she's cultivated here. Two labyrinths, a zen garden, a medicine wheel area for prayer and contemplation, a beautiful little pond with fish, a vertical fire pit to enjoy at night under the stars and adorable ponies and horses to pet and visit with. My son had a truly wonderful experience ! The trailer/camper has all the creature comforts if you need them including a gas stove refrigerator, a full bathroom even! I was very impressed! We saw quail and coyotes each day and even some javalinas! Right out the door is landscape to behold with Saguaro West national Park minutes away and trails on her property to explore too. It was truly a blissful experience. 💗

Camping here was amazing. There are two platforms but no one was booked when we were so we had it all to ourselves- very private. Everything was beautiful- we stared at the stars for hours. Great price too!

A very nice rv site situated with good views and a nice degree of privacy, nestled in an area with semi rural homes, some with horses. The site, as advertised, has full hookups, all working, and is level with room to park your tow or second vehicle. The owners were very prompt and helpful with communications. Highly recommended!

1 night at Camp Saguaro
We stayed at a place called Lodge, and honestly, it was even better in real life than in the photos. Everything was new, and inside it smelled like wood and nature. It felt very safe and clean, with a beautiful area around and everything you need for cooking and relaxing.
The atmosphere was amazing, and the host was so kind and welcoming. At night, you could hear coyotes, which made it feel truly wild and natural. The nights were a bit cool and humid, like in any desert, but everything was well prepared.
The toilets and showers were very comfortable, with hot water, soap, and a place to wash dishes. Overall, the vibe was just perfect — this is the best camping experience I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for everything!

This place was absolutely beautiful! Clean restrooms and nice and warm/hot shower. Taylor was friendly and easy to communicate with, Getting here was a breeze. I will say if you want a completely quiet stay or if you’re a light sleeper this place might not be for you since you can hear cars as they’re driving by. But 10/10 recommend!!!

Great site. We got there and set up camp and hosts came by and introduced themselves. Really friendly. Sites are great and surrounded by local vegetation and the little hummingbirds visited us as we were setting up and tearing down the next morning. Camp amenities were great. Shower was great and had excellent hot water and water pressure. Will definitely return if I am ever in the area again. Beautiful campsite. Thanks for letting us stay Michelle. Very close to the entrance to Saguaro National Park.
