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

Come immerse yourself in the Sonoran Desert on this 5-acre property offering gorgeous desert and mountain views, just a 5-minute drive from the heart of Cave Creek. We have two casitas on our property, and we also offer spots for those wishing to stay in their own van; however, these spots do not have restroom or electric hookups. We also have a stationary 35-foot fifth wheel with an enclosed patio area. It features a front master bedroom with a queen bed, a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, a half bath, and a back area that can double as additional sleeping space. There’s also an indoor gas fireplace, plus access to an outdoor fire pit and grill. Beautiful views await you each morning—along with lots of bunnies, birds, and our three “resident” coyotes: Larry, Curly, and Mo! You’ll know it’s Sunday morning if you wake up to church bells. We would love to share this little slice of heaven we’ve fallen in love with with our fellow travelers. We discovered Hipcamp by accident while looking for a place to car camp ourselves and instantly fell in love with the community and shared sense of adventure and camaraderie not found in hotels. While you’ll feel miles away from it all the second you drive through the private gate, the quirky Western/biker town is just a couple of miles away. Whether you’re looking to stay “put” or your plans include adventuring during the day and hitting the bars at night, you’ll be centrally located. We’re surrounded by horse properties, so it’s not unusual to see riders out. In fact, if you’re lucky, you might even spot one going through the Starbucks drive-through! We’re within a 5-minute drive of both Dove Valley and Rancho Mañana golf courses, quite a few places to rent ATVs, and amazing hikes ranging from short and easy to climbing Black Mountain—which can be seen from just about anywhere on our property—and everything in between. Oh, and did I mention the temperatures are 5–8 degrees cooler than Phoenix? Whether you’re escaping city life locally, visiting for a specific event, or traveling from out of state, this is a great retreat to get away from it all and go home recharged!

Come immerse yourself in the Sonoran Desert on this 5-acre property offering gorgeous desert and mountain views, just a 5-minute drive from the heart of Cave Creek. We have two casitas on our property, and we also offer spots for those wishing to stay in their own van; however, these spots do not have restroom or electric hookups. We also have a stationary 35-foot fifth wheel with an enclosed patio area. It features a front master bedroom with a queen bed, a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, a half bath, and a back area that can double as additional sleeping space. There’s also an indoor gas fireplace, plus access to an outdoor fire pit and grill. Beautiful views await you each morning—along with lots of bunnies, birds, and our three “resident” coyotes: Larry, Curly, and Mo! You’ll know it’s Sunday morning if you wake up to church bells. We would love to share this little slice of heaven we’ve fallen in love with with our fellow travelers. We discovered Hipcamp by accident while looking for a place to car camp ourselves and instantly fell in love with the community and shared sense of adventure and camaraderie not found in hotels. While you’ll feel miles away from it all the second you drive through the private gate, the quirky Western/biker town is just a couple of miles away. Whether you’re looking to stay “put” or your plans include adventuring during the day and hitting the bars at night, you’ll be centrally located. We’re surrounded by horse properties, so it’s not unusual to see riders out. In fact, if you’re lucky, you might even spot one going through the Starbucks drive-through! We’re within a 5-minute drive of both Dove Valley and Rancho Mañana golf courses, quite a few places to rent ATVs, and amazing hikes ranging from short and easy to climbing Black Mountain—which can be seen from just about anywhere on our property—and everything in between. Oh, and did I mention the temperatures are 5–8 degrees cooler than Phoenix? Whether you’re escaping city life locally, visiting for a specific event, or traveling from out of state, this is a great retreat to get away from it all and go home recharged!
