When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. 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.

Our four acre property has a small guest studio and two dry campsites. Belmont Road is a mile long dirt road, but passable with any car or bicycle. Our lot is four acres. We live in a one acre fenced corner including the guest casita, leaving about 2.5 acres for the campsites. The area is considered suburban ranch, so other homes on other 3-4 acre lots are visible.
Our land abuts Saguaro National Park West, 1/4 mile past the Belmont Trailhead. It is the only camping area on the readily accessible eastern side of Saguaro NP's west unit.

When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. 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.

They have a ton of trees and we were able to pick as much as we wanted. They have a nice pool with hot tub. We liked that the land was fenced and gated, where our two dogs could run free and play with the other dogs on the property.

Deacon was an excellent host. Super communicative and very friendly. Loved hearing about the properties history and future plans. Super peaceful and quiet area. The camp spots are spaced far enough apart where you can't hear or see any of your neighbors. Great views and fire pit was huge. Would highly recommend a d looking forward to staying again!

The Hummingbird Ranch is a magical place, a refuge, and delight. The artwork and colors alone are enough reason to come back.
The Shady Rest was a cozy place to pop up a tent. We loved the calmness and quiet combining the outdoors with nice amenties like a shower, bathroom, and kitchen appliances.

My girl and I camped at Saguaro Sky Ranch for two nights with our dogs and loved every minute of it. Barb and Brian are top-notch hosts — some of the kindest folks you’ll ever meet. Quiet, peaceful, no city noise, just stars overhead and a fire pit at night. Even had a horse and ponies around, which was a nice touch. They were also accommodating to our two dogs, allowing us to let them loose in a fully caged area.
Two thumbs up. 5 stars, 10/10 — would recommend to anyone.

This place is nothing short of magical. The land itself is breathtakingly beautiful, quiet in a way that settles your nervous system, and expansive enough to make you feel small in the best, most grounding way. The hosts, Deacon and Debi, are equally wonderful. They were attentive without being intrusive, checking in on us periodically to make sure we were safe and comfortable. They and their adorable, energetic border collies became the highlight of those check-ins and we looked forward to their visits. After a few days, my 6 y.o. would excitedly jump up and down when he heard their UTV coming our way. It truly feels like a lovely family sharing their piece of paradise with you.
We stayed at both the glamping site and a traditional site, and also toured their cute, cozy, squeaky clean Airstream. The property itself offers incredible hiking opportunities, and if you’re adventurous, you may even stumble upon an old 1800s house hidden out on the land.
If you stay here, expect to leave a changed person in the best possible way. This place is tranquil, raw, and stunning. It’s the perfect environment to unplug, slow down, and reset. Truly a human factory data reset.
DO Check in with Deacon on arrival. UTV-led entry needed -Bring an air horn for mountain lions and rogue cows.
DO NOT Arrive after dark to set up or expect help setting up camp-bring equipment you know how to use.
This place is rare. Respect it, prepare for it, and let it work its quiet magic on you.

Extremely friendly folks! Very cool concept and layout. There is a company next-door that gets to work pretty early, but that didn’t bother me because I’m an early riser. I just noticed it when I was leaving to go on an early hike. Community areas were kept impeccable. I car camp so the space allocated was perfect for me. I only used location as a base for a national Park visit, so I can’t really speak to the surrounding area too much more. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Michaelette and her husband Owen are The Best Hosts! Communication before we arrived was excellent. Michaelette and Owen welcomed us when we arrived and helped us back in our travel trailer on a paved pad beside their home. Power, water, sewer and wifi are all included at a very reasonable price. Michaelette gave us a prepared handout with recommended restaurants and places to see in the area, which was very helpful. Thanks so much for having us!
We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this great location again if we return for a visit to Tucson.

Beautiful spot to camp in an amazing community. Our hosts and neighbors were all friendly, caring, and welcoming. The campsites were nice and tidy, the bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities were all in great shape. Patagonia is small, but the campsite is an easy walk to the main street. We only moved our vehicle once to start a bike route.
Highly recommend!!

We loved our stay in the camper. The camper was super cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The property is well maintained and it’s nice to walk around. We loved the outdoor bathroom! The hosts were kind and helpful and the property was safe and secure. The proximity to Saguaro National Park is super ideal. 10/10 would stay again.

The pictures are beautiful and eye-catching, but they barely scratch the surface of the alternate universe you step into when you arrive at El Pais Motel and Campground. From the moment we pulled in, it felt like we were part of something special.
The drive-in movie night with popcorn, the food truck and snacks, on-site laundry, and the welcoming community space all made the stay incredibly comfortable and memorable. Add in the creativity woven throughout the property, and it easily became one of our favorite stays to date.
Huge thanks to Jade and Karl for creating such a fun, thoughtful, and unique experience. We will absolutely be back!!
