31mi from Douglas · 7 sites · Tents

Learn more about this land: Dust off your cowboy boots and come pitch a tent on this starlit rugged terrain. This property is something special, a fenced in area on a real western ranch. Say howdy to the cows on your way in and say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy the peace and quiet or saddle up and check out the local tourist attractions. Just a stones throw from historic Tombstone and the OK Corral and just around the bend from Bisbee and the copper queen mine; an old mining town with a new fangled twist. This slice of paradise is up high lonesome road off of Gleeson road. Follow high lonesome rd for a couple miles and then go through the white painted steel push gate. Some times the ranch dogs are loose and they bark and act scary but they won’t do anything. Just ignore them if they are there(it’s not too common). Continue on that road until a slight right down a steep incline onto silver bill rd. There is one more slight right to remain on silver bill rd and then you should be home free. Follow the road down the hill. Our gate is where silver bill rd. dead ends on the left hand side. It’s best to have the gps route pre loaded while you still have a strong signal before you get out there. Have a serene stay!

An awesome desert site down a short "primitive" road a quarter mile from pavement. Wildlife, peaceful, horses, a resident hawk, perfect sunrises over the Chiricahua Mountains and beautiful sunsets behind the Huachuca Mountains. Wonderful hosts, easy in and out. I have a 60 foot rig and it went in pretty well. Saw a couple of big cats, quite a few deer, coyote scat, so they're around too. (Keep your small pets on lead.) Definitely would return. Just an aside, it's just up the road from Johnny Ringo's grave site. What fun!

RV Ranch is located in a beautiful spot of Cochise County. Gorgeous view of Cochise Stronghold and surrounding ranges. It’s a working ranch so you’ll hear animal noises which added to the peace of the place for me. Full hookup, very level site made it a breeze to get settled quickly. I was so fortunate to witness the great crane migration during my stay. Thousands of them made their way to their winter home right overhead. Truly amazing. Highly recommend RV Ranch to anyone visiting this stunning area of AZ.

I work out of town occasionaly and dont like to waste money on motel rooms. Itd great there are places like this where someone can just pitch a tent, and enjoy the quietness of the outdoors. The campsites themselves were great. A small open area surrounded by trees. There were chairs provided around campfire pits. A portapotty was provided, which is a great benefit you dont get while rustic camping. The price was unbeatable! I will definately be back to spend some more time with the awesome hosts, and the adorable animals!

The Lazy Horse Ranch is easy to get to off of the main road. I had a great night at Lazy Horse Ranch. It was quite and comfortably. The hook ups were in working order. I even got some much needed rain. I checked out the horses, the library, there was a place to make coffee, do laundry. They had information about trails in the area. Maybe I will bring my horses out for a horsey vacation in the future. Thanks for the nice stay.

They were fabulous hosts! Greeted us right as we pulled in and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved that there was heat and air, along with coffee and coffee maker! Being that we were fenced in, we could sleep good knowing no wild animals could make way to our tent. Beautiful views and everything was clean and fabulous!
