So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home." I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be. So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Welcome to your campsite with gorgeous views of the Rincon Mountains! For 4 years we had a camper on this site that we used for vacation rentals - guests absolutely loved it! After many requests we are opening it up as a campsite instead. We are knowledgeable, local hosts with 4 years experience hosting over 1500 guests in our spaces, ranging from campers to luxury homes. We are close to the bottom of Mt Lemmon - especially great for hiking, biking, shopping the little town of Summerhaven! But we are also only 20 minutes from so many things to do in Tucson! Best of both worlds. Rural feel, but access to everything. Long term renters often welcome - just reach out for more about that. *Campers and pull behinds total length not more than 50 feet (contact first to be sure) *30 and 50 amp electrical hookup *Fresh water hookups *Gray water outlet *Sewer rollaround tank provided (sewer outlet is within short walking distance) *Sewer emptying service available upon request for an extra fee *Hot tub *Grill *Chiminea *Picnic Table *Hammock *String lights 21471186

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

This was my first time using HipCamp and boy, does Karla set the bar high. The property speaks for itself, attention to detail everywhere, very clean property and very well organized and thought out. Treated us with a community fire pit, got to make some new camp friends along the way. Restroom was super convenient and clean, the tent site allowed us to have a covered gazebo over us for added warmth and comfort. Overall a 5-star experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Oh, and Reba the donkey is super friendly and loves ear scritches in the morning 😁

7 nights at Catalina Vista

It was a relatively private spot, and flat. The view out our back end, facing West, was spectacular, especially at sunset. All utilities worked as stated. Plenty of wildlife, javalinas( look like boars, but no big teeth. You still don't want to make them angry. We had a family of ten come thru most mornings. Very much worth it.

2 nights at LeRoy & Paula's Alpacas

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!

There was a new fun little touches everywhere to enjoy. Everything was well taken care of and very clean.

11 nights at Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

Karla’s land was open, clean, and very easy to move around in. It really shows that she takes great care of her property, and the structures she has built are wonderfully creative! ( to call them sheds does not seem appropriate:-) Her property is gated, and I felt very comfortable and safe there.

Weekend Trip to El Pais Motel & Campgrounds

The hosts were excellent and went out of their way to make the stay wonderful. The outdoor movies were fun and popcorn was available. Morning coffee came with the stay which made it nice . The common areas were comfortable and nicely decorated. Although it was in the city limits it felt like it was in a world of it's own. It was secure by locked gates so I felt safe.

Karla’s place is as good as it gets, very clean and the set up was great, easy access to camp spots with electric and water at a convenient location. The facilities were top notch, next to the bathroom there’s your own private room with everything you need for a great stay, amenities were the best, pool access, pool house with table and chairs and the decoration throughout were great. Karla is the best, she treated us like we were family. When we go her way again we will definitely use her Hipcamp!!

This is a great spot to camp among the Saguaro Cacti! 🌵It’s very close to the North Belmont access to the National Park (literally 100yds or so) with some very nice trails to make a loop hike or run.

1 night at Trail Riders

Our family needed a last minute spot to spend the night and refill water for our RV. The host was flexible and made sure we knew where to go since we arrived at night. Once we arrived, someone came to greet us and helped us park into our spot and set up. The location is walking distance to historic Tombstone town. Our family was able to walk over in the morning for a nice breakfast at Longhorn and explored the wonderful town before heading back on the road. A great refreshing stop for us.
