5 nights at Gila River View

This was one of the best places we've ever stayed! The host, Amber, was incredible and made sure we had everything we needed. The area is secluded and private and we never heard any noise other than nature. We loved that it's a working cattle ranch with horses, cattle, and pigs. The animals were all friendly and never bothered us. Oh, there was a very friendly barn cat that did snuggle with us a bunch! The camper was an amazing accommodation that offered everything we needed for an indoor experience and sleeping. The hiking opportunities are endless here! With just a 10 minute hike you can be on the top of a mountain overlooking 2 different valleys that the Gila river runs through. In about a 20-25ish minute hike you can make it from the camp clear into a hidden valley on the back side and make it right up to a secret spot next to the Gila river. We spent half a day at this spot relaxing and enjoying the weather and nature! It's about a 10 minute drive to the nearest town for any supplies or if you want a restaurant. We only went once to get more drinking water and we were back at camp within the hour! We will definitely stay here again! We love the place and it's less than 2 hours from our house! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you so much Amber! We appreciated everything you did to make our stay wonderful! : )

Our family absolutely loved staying here. This will be one we look forward to staying at frequently. Everything was clean, and provided. It was a good stay at the ranch. We enjoyed seeing the animals and sitting in the creek even though it was pretty cold! Don’t think twice about booking this place ! Our host went above and beyond and the experience was great.

We loved staying at Tammii & Kevin’s property so much that we extended 2 nights. You have your own little private patio area, which is great for your dog(s) to hang out as well. We wanted to be right in Mesa which this location is so you are central to all kinds of sight seeing. Tammii & Kevin are super nice & very helpful. Backing up our 30 feet travel trailer into their separate driveway was no problem. They even have a laundry set up for guests. We highly recommended staying with them & give them 20 out of 10 stars.

Very clean and nice and long rv pad, our motorhome is 43ft,feet perfect

Tammii’s rv pad at field of dreams is a delightful spot to stay! She was the most friendly and accommodating host, and we were so pleased to meet her. The spot is easy to access, level, and feels private. It is close to the highway for easy access and some local parks nearby that we enjoyed. Highly recommend staying here if you need a quiet private spot to stay in Mesa.

Plenty of room for a 40’ toy hauler, toys also fit behind the gate.

Weekend Trip to “Field of Dreams” Mesa AZ

Excellent stay! The RV pad was extra long and accommodated our 34 ft fifth wheel and F250 with ease. We appreciated how organized and clean the area was. We didn’t have much time for hanging out at the site during the day, but would have loved to sit out on their nice patio a little longer. We also enjoyed using their on site laundry facility which was an unexpected perk! I will say we raised our eyebrows at some of the other houses in the neighborhood, but the host property was *chef’s kiss*! We had no issues while there- host Kevin was very kind and accessible if needed. We would absolutely stay here again, thank y’all so much! God bless!
