Tucson, AZ · 8 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Camp Saguaro is nestled in a unique and rural area on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. With the Saguaro National Park Visitor Center, Tucson Mountain Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum all within four miles, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the outdoors. Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park boast hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and non-motorized mountain bikes are permitted on the trails in Tucson Mountain Park. Let us be your base camp for desert exploration whether it's hiking, riding, birdwatching, and learning. Come to Camp Saguaro and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the desert. Our friendly hosts can help you plan a great day, some of them even have their Certified Tourism Amabssador credentials. Please note: We are tobacco-free, medicinal herbs are legal and ok as long as children are not around.
What to expect:
We are in a rural neighborhood where most parcels are 1-3 acres, we have seven acres. It's quiet around here but along with the natural sounds of the desert like yipping coyotes, and woodpeckers pecking, you may hear a horse, dog, or chicken. While we are on the outskirts of Tucson, we are not completely remote.
We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible.
We have a small "Mercantile" on property. This is our office, but we also have items you may have forgotten, and souvenirs made by local artists. Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers) 2.00 wash/2.00 dry. You'll need cash for these things, we do not take any other form of payment at this time.
Camp Saguaro is tobacco-free.

Globe, AZ · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Ash Creek Canyon is more than a place to camp — it’s a hidden world reopened after nearly a century of quiet. Tucked within the Tonto National Forest, this privately owned canyon and historic mining town have remained untouched by the public since 1945. Today, the gates are open once again, inviting adventurers to experience one of Arizona’s most pristine and biologically rich landscapes.
Here, towering canyon walls cradle lush greenery, native wildlife, and the gentle flow of Ash Creek as it winds through the valley. Scenic campsites sit along the water’s edge, offering peaceful views and direct access to hiking trails that lead through diverse ecosystems recognized by Arizona Fish & Game for their exceptional biodiversity.
At the heart of the canyon lies Chrysotile, a long‑forgotten mining town frozen in time. Its remnants add a sense of mystery and history to your stay — a rare chance to explore a piece of Arizona’s past in a setting few have ever seen.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or experiencing the outdoors for the first time, Ash Creek Canyon offers a blend of tranquility, adventure, and discovery. Set up your tent beneath star‑filled skies, wander through untouched wilderness, or simply relax beside the creek as the canyon walls glow at sunset.
This is nature at its most authentic — a place where adventure meets peace, and where every visit becomes a story worth telling.

Beall’s B&B camp | Earth-Based Holistic Wellness & Sacred Rest
Beall’s B&B camp is an off-grid, earth-based wellness campground rooted in respect for the land and the ancient ways of living in balance with nature. This space was created as a place of rest, remembrance, and reconnection, guided by indigenous-inspired values of stewardship, simplicity, and sacred relationship with the Earth.
Our land is cared for with intention and gratitude. We honor natural rhythms, quiet living, and mindful presence. Guests are invited to slow down, unplug, and experience the grounding energy of the land — whether through stillness, ceremony, or simply listening to the wind and wildlife.
We offer handcrafted, natural earth medicines made in small batches using plant wisdom, traditional techniques, and deep respect for the healing properties of nature. These offerings are available on-site for those who feel called to support their personal wellness journey.
This is a CBD-friendly space with a discreet, respectful approach to THC-aware wellness, aligned with rustic, ceremonial, and nature-honoring values. We ask all guests to remain mindful, low-impact, and respectful of the shared sacred environment.
Beall’s B&B camp welcomes those seeking sacred rest, soulful quiet, and a deeper connection to the land. This is not a party campground — it is a place to walk gently, rest deeply, and leave the land as you found it.
May the land receive you kindly.
May your rest be deep and your spirit steady.
May you leave lighter than you arrived.

Laura and Bruce are good/kind people. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog, River, and I were taken care of during the flood warning and heavy winds. If our travels bring us this way again, we would happily stay again. If you're traveling solo, you will feel very safe on their property.

We stopped here mostly for a dark night sky they mention on their website. That was ruined by a toy hauler with its bright LED's that were left on all night. Electrical connections are too far forward in the site. Our site, 8, was not level front to back because of that and because we had to pull so far forward. We may try this place again as we travel through almost every year.

We were in Boondock site B, it was clean and provided great amount of space for our setup. We were only passing through for the night, but it was a very clean and safe place to lay our heads for the night before moving on to our final destination! The hosts were very responsive, as we sent in our request later in the evening and they promptly responded with thorough directions and accepted our request without delay!

Grand Canyon Oasis is a hidden value. Located as close as possible to Wupatki National Monument and Sunset Crater National Monument, it is right off of 89.
We were boondocking, so no hookups (hookups are available, as well as some tiny homes for rent) - but were able to use the clubhouse, which features a bathroom (no showers), a great assortment of drinks and snacks (honor system), and a nice selection of gifts for purchase. The clubhouse also has areas to hang out, laundry facilities, and other nice touches (books to read, binoculars to borrow, etc).
The entire property is well kept, and maintained, and the boondock area was a great value given the proximity to the monuments and to Flagstaff.
