Stories from the community

3 nights at Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

My partner, two pups and I had a wonderful stay at Shawn and Roxy’s property. They were extremely accommodating and communicative. Everything (electrical hookups, water connections, dump station) worked flawlessly. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the lovely time :)

Weekend Trip to Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

It’s a beautiful place to stay , great host , lots of wildlife to enjoy

1 night at Marguerita Ranch

Very peaceful, camper was tidy, and the sunset was so gorgeous! The saguaro cactus all around were so lovely. I wish we had more time there!

1 night at Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

We took our Class A on our way to Saguaro. Location is great, beautiful area. Shawn and Roxy are easy to communicate with. The property is near the forest. We walked over and took picture of sunset. All around great place.

5 nights at Heritage District Downtown Gilbert

Being in walking distance of the Heritage District is awesome. Justine and Adam make us feel at home.

27 nights at Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

Absolutely amazing place to stay! We stayed for a month in our 44ft Toyhauler on site 2. It felt private and safe and hosts are kind and helpful!! There are also so many places to explore. There is a hiking trail within walking distance. Bartlett Lake, Pleasant Lake and Horseshoe Lake and all worth the trip!

Weekend Trip to Boulder hideout

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was beautiful and unique, surrounded by scenic views and huge boulders that made the whole experience feel extra special. The cabin itself was cozy and perfect for a peaceful overnight getaway with my wife and our dogs. Cole, the host, went above and beyond by providing thoughtful amenities like fresh well water in a barrel, firewood, a lighter, a grill with propane, and even small but super helpful items like paper towels and dishes. It’s clear that a lot of care was put into making the place comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature with a few comforts included.

Weekend Trip to Marguerita Ranch

I wish I could have stayed longer! Macy’s place is beautiful. I appreciated all the ways she made it easy to just pull up and relax - super clear instructions to access everything I needed. The animals are wonderful, the town is lovely and the scenery is stunning. Definitely on my favorite list when I come back through. Thank you!

1 night at Marguerita Ranch

We loved camping at Macy’s land. It was in a great location, peaceful, and we loved seeing all the animals. She was great to work with and we would definitely go back an again. Highly recommended.

4 nights at Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

I can’t say enough good things about this campsite The view, The tranquility, And the easy access You can pick one Hosts are so responsive and helpful I highly recommend anyone to stay here You’ll leave rested and relaxed

Weekend Trip to Heritage District Downtown Gilbert

The site is so cute! There are twinkle lights on the side of the house, a little fire pit, and some other cute touches. The pad had ample space for our 23’ travel trailer and SUV, and the FHU was much appreciated. The dogs were grateful to have some space to run around after many days on leashes, and they found the chickens fascinating. 😁 The train is definitely loud, so if you’re a super light sleeper or have children who are, that may be a deterrent. For us, it was no big deal; the one time it passed when we were asleep, we just rolled over and went back to sleep. We would definitely stay here again!

3 nights at Heritage District Downtown Gilbert

This was a great location for us to be. Nice flat pad with full hookups. We really enjoyed staying here and will likely stay again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Saguaro Forrest @ Dragonfly Ranch

Great place to spend the weekend. If you are traveling and want a place close to Phoenix you can’t beat it.

3 nights at Coolidge RV

Enjoyed our stay. Easy to get in and out of. Great to have electric when temperatures are around 100 degrees.

Marguerita Ranch

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Cave Creek, AZ

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. Follow and tag us on Instagram: @margueritaranch
