Camp Saguaro is nestled in a unique and rural area on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. With the Saguaro National Park Visitor Center, Tucson Mountain Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum all within four miles, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the outdoors. Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park boast hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and non-motorized mountain bikes are permitted on the trails in Tucson Mountain Park. Let us be your base camp for desert exploration whether it's hiking, riding, birdwatching, and learning. Come to Camp Saguaro and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the desert. Our friendly hosts can help you plan a great day, some of them even have their Certified Tourism Amabssador credentials. Please note: We are tobacco-free, medicinal herbs are legal and ok as long as children are not around.
What to expect:
We are in a rural neighborhood where most parcels are 1-3 acres, we have seven acres. It's quiet around here but along with the natural sounds of the desert like yipping coyotes, and woodpeckers pecking, you may hear a horse, dog, or chicken. While we are on the outskirts of Tucson, we are not completely remote.
We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible.
We have a small "Mercantile" on property. This is our office, but we also have items you may have forgotten, and souvenirs made by local artists. Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers) 2.00 wash/2.00 dry. You'll need cash for these things, we do not take any other form of payment at this time.
Camp Saguaro is tobacco-free.

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.

Plenty of space but one camper with a 5th wheel of 42' feedback that he had hard time to get in / out. So listing for 38' max total length .
Also if you have a very low rider, this is desert landscape so you could have hard time and scrap bottom.
This is a dirt road close to the site and could be bumpy.

I repeat 38' max total length. I don't want you to get stuck

This Ironwood Forest National Monument is made up of 129,000 acres and contains a significant system of cultural and historical sites covering a 5,000-year period. Possessing one of the richest stands of ironwood in the Sonoran Desert,
This site is easy to access while still boasting incredible views. Plenty of flat area to park you RV and vehicles and still have room to roam. The views of the sun setting over Ragged Top Mountain will surely take your breath away.

Plenty of space but one camper with a 5th wheel of 42' feedback that he had hard time to get in / out. So listing for 38' max total length .
Also if you have a very low rider, this is desert landscape so you could have hard time and scrap bottom.
This is a dirt road close to the site and could be bumpy.
30A and 50A outlets available at the site
I repeat 38' max total length. I don't want you to get stuck
Also avoid if you have a very low rider as this is a dirt road close to the site and could be bumpy.

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.

As they have in so many communities along their journeys, Michelle and Kim have created a place of ease, warm welcome, and artful treasures at Camp Saguaro!
We found the flush toilets clean and well maintained. Both the toilets and the hot-on-demand showers had motion-sensitive lights making them easy to use in the dark desert nights. Their land is well kept, with gravel trails and marked pathways raked free of prickly bits daily.
They have nestled their sites and community spaces within the rich Sonoran Desert landscape. We felt at once surrounded by the birds and plants of the area, as well as cozy and secure with the amenities of the common facilities: the kitchen sink for dishwashing, flush toilets with adjoining handwashing sinks, laundry, firewood for sale, and the wonderful wee Mercantile (chock full of locally-made art, snacks, plentiful info, and if you’re really lucky you’ll be able to buy a loaf of Kim’s Sourdough bread!!)
We’ve already begun to recommend Camp Saguaro to our friends and fellow travelers looking for friendly, well-run spot for smaller rigs to dry camp, with all the amenities!!!

Iron Quail Ranch is secluded and quiet. Although I had to leave in the mornings to go to work locally, it was wonderful to return to the peace and quiet of the ranch after a hectic workday. It met my needs for a place to stay while working. It has beautiful desert scenery, mountain views and livestock seen and unseen in around the ranch. Your host Michael is quite knowledgeable of desert vegetation, wildlife and conservation. There is value in talking to him if you want to understand how to farm in a desert environment. If you just need an "out of the way," getaway, this is the place to go.

We really enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle. The only side note is the bushes along the road coming into the site are a bit over grown so it's really tight driving in if you don't want to scratch your vehicle or camper and the road is pretty bumpy but still very worth the seclusion.

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.

Camp Saguaro is very conveniently located near Saguaro National park. It's easy to find and access. We stayed in the Javelina Hollow site for two nights in our Sprinter campervan. You may hear other campers nearby, but this site has plenty of privacy with all of the trees/shrubs. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked. The hot showers were wonderful! Overall, a nice, clean, cute, and well maintain property! I would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay here. The location is near the West entrance of Saguaro National Park. Their bathrooms are clean, the free showers have hot water and there’s even a free charging station for your electronics. There’s also laundry access (for a nominal fee). The hosts are very friendly and helpful. I will come and stay here again when we’re in the area.

Nice campsite. The bathrooms and showers look very rustic in the photos, but they are very clean and the water is super hot, which is awesome. There is a dishwashing station with hot water as well. This campground is in a residential area, so you can hear the neighbors chickens and there are dogs barking during the day (it's very quiet at night). 3 minute drive to Saguaro NP. Overall, very nice, we enjoyed our stay.

This was such charming campsite—would highly recommend. We loved camping amidst the various cacti, and our pup enjoyed the onsite dog park. The showers were very luxurious for a camping trip, and the staff clearly do a wonderful job maintaining everything. We’ll be back for sure!

We had such a good experience here! Everything was so well organized, and the location looks so pretty. It was very easy to find our campsite, even at night. The facilities were in a very clean state, and the shower was very warm. At night, you can hear coyotes.
The biggest highlight, however, is the host! She was so kind to us; she gave us so many recommendations for activities around the area. We ended up going on a hike she recommended to us, and it was so nice!
We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful hosts and beautiful grounds. There is a sense of community here and we felt like we were camping with family. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms and amenities were a real treat and well maintained. You can tell the hosts truly love this place with all the attention to detail - there is subtle humor, tiny surprises, and quirky artistic touches all around with the signage, santa hats on saguaros, and the gorgeous mercantile filled with antique furniture displays and locally handmade gifts. If you are lucky, you may even meet Leslie and Mark while there, who come in seasonally to man the mercantile and help to maintain the grounds. We will definitely be back here for more Christmas camping and random adventures.

1000% will be back! The hosts were kind, welcoming, and hospitable. The showers and toilets were perfect and needed with a young child. It was so nice to have other kids and families around. The grounds were quiet but kids were warmly welcomed engaged by the hosts. Take a moment to meet Kim, Michelle, Leslie and Mark - absolutely lovely humans!

Michelle's Camp Suguaro was one of the best Hipcamps we've been to, and we've traveled all over the country. The Curious Quail site was perfect for our 22' travel trailer. I wouldn't try to stay here, however, if you have something bigger than that. The site had a very pretty, shaded sitting area with a table, chairs and fire pit. Top notch, clean amenities included bathrooms, showers and a dish cleaning sink. Yard games and laundry were also available, and the Mercantile was nice with both utilitarian and artsy items. The entire place was well organized and well maintained. It was pretty with lots of thoughtful touches making it inviting and cozy.
The description is accurate in saying you will hear some neighborhood sounds. Most, such as chickens, were not bothersome. The dog across the street that barked incessantly did become annoying.
The best part of Camp Suaro though, was the hospitality. Everyone was warm, personable, and helpful. We received great ideas for things to do and pointers to make our time in Tucson very enjoyable. We felt safe and welcome at all times. If we are ever back in Tucson, we wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else. Thank you Michelle, Kim, and all of you kind camp hosts!
