Marguerita Ranch

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.
