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.

4 nights at Camp Saguaro

Camp Saguaro was a great base for exploring the area. The campground is well-maintained, clean, and very cutely decorated. The hosts are very helpful, but also unobtrusive. I loved the meteor shower I saw at 5:30 am. The owls, coyotes, and roosters were a great night sound track. My group was out of camp exploring most days so I didn’t get to spend much daytime in the camp. I would have liked recycling receptacle next to the trash can. That is my main suggestion for improvement. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

6 nights at Double H Hacienda

We have been traveling full time in our RV for 6 months and this was one of our favorite stays. Bill and his family are great hosts, and made us feel right at home. Our kids loved the in ground trampoline, the hot tub and the playground, and there was plenty of room for them to run around. The equine experience was a highlight for our family, and we learned a lot about horses. Couldn’t recommend Double H Hacienda any higher.

Weekend Trip to Red Hill at Ironwood National Park

I stayed at Site #1 and was immediately impressed by how thoughtfully everything was set up. The space is huge with wide-open views, and the little details—like the soft nighttime lighting—make it feel both beautiful and functional after dark. It’s just bright enough to see without taking away from the calm, peaceful vibe. Even though I never met the host in person, he was absolutely amazing. We texted back and forth quite a bit, and when I ran into an issue with my 30-amp plug, he walked offered to let me come up to his property to use his own plug adapter. That level of support really meant a lot. I highly, highly recommend this place. It’s quiet, calming, and incredibly relaxing—exactly what I needed.

1 night at Camp Saguaro

This place is so interesting. Some new detail at every turn. I loved it here. Very clean, shower was wonderful. My dog likes to run and this was a bit confining for her. I could have stayed a week. Very relaxing and quiet for sleeping. Highly recommend.

4 nights at Red Hill at Ironwood National Park

We had the most amazing stay at Lionel’s. Beautiful property to spend our little getaway. All hookups worked and there were no issues finding the location. Lionel was kind and accommodating when I made a mistake in our booking. The Mountain Views, the land, and wildlife were very much enjoyed. We look forward to our next trip. Thank you Lionel!!

Small pull-through. The mountains you see are in Saguaro National Park

Weekend Trip to Camp Saguaro

The camp hosts were terrific for both recommendations and chatting. I loved the lighting and decor. The toilets, shower and dishwashing sink were clean and easy to use. The proximity to the nat'l park and the desert museum were bonuses.

Weekend Trip to Camp Saguaro

I loved tent camping at the Saguaro camp, especially the Lovey Dovey where we stayed! The Saguaro camp is so cute and the camp site is exactly what we needed. We had enough privacy, all the amenities were great and very cute dog park since we were traveling with our pup.

Weekend Trip to Freedom in the Catalinas

This was my first time camping and I do have to say it was phenomenal. the houses that were around were not too close, so it felt very private. Being my first time camping I did enjoy being able to hear people in the far far distance, actually made me feel more safe quite. A few coyotes being vocal throughout the night and local residents dogs were barking randomly which I did enjoy hearing different kinds of dogs barking. Truly felt comfortable and absolutely love the open view of the mountains. the Sunset was absolutely gorgeous would absolutely recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Camp Saguaro

Sleeping in the desert under a starry sky, listening to coyotes calling to one another (and yes, a few dogs) - a thin layer of fabric the only thing between us and the wild. There was only 1 other tent—most people park RVs - but we didn’t hear generators - and everyone was friendly and respectful. Campsites are widely spaced, level gravel, very clean. The campground is artsy, funky, and fun, with lights highlighting the cacti at night. Beautiful sunsets! And hot running water, laundry, showers, flush toilets - such luxury! We loved this place! Such a gem just outside the city! Treasures to be found in the gift shop, reasonably priced. We ended up staying a 2nd night in the “Magic Mushroom,” which at the end of November was a bit warmer. Highly recommend— many thanks to the owners / hosts for taking a piece of property and turning it into something we can all enjoy.

6 nights at Catalina Vista

A very nice rv site situated with good views and a nice degree of privacy, nestled in an area with semi rural homes, some with horses. The site, as advertised, has full hookups, all working, and is level with room to park your tow or second vehicle. The owners were very prompt and helpful with communications. Highly recommended!

Wonderful, friendly hosts and a very convenient spot. If you’re looking for a place that’s accessible to some of the best parts of Tucson, this is a deal. The neighborhood is tight, but the people are accommodating.

Great site. We got there and set up camp and hosts came by and introduced themselves. Really friendly. Sites are great and surrounded by local vegetation and the little hummingbirds visited us as we were setting up and tearing down the next morning. Camp amenities were great. Shower was great and had excellent hot water and water pressure. Will definitely return if I am ever in the area again. Beautiful campsite. Thanks for letting us stay Michelle. Very close to the entrance to Saguaro National Park.

We spent a night tent camping at Camp Saguaro and it was great! The restrooms/showers/ dishwashing station was super nice alongside the common area. It’s also such a close drive to Saguaro National Park if you’re visiting. We’d easily stay again.

1 night at Camp Saguaro

I loved this camp. Beautiful away from the city and desert all around. Great place to see all the stars. The camp is well kept with a mercantile that they will open for you spring you visit. Sometimes it's open, but if not, the camp host will open it for you. The bathrooms were clean with flush toilets with a sink between them to wash up. Around the corner is a dish sink and then the other side is where you will find 2 showers. There is a large common area where guests can gather around a fire with plenty of seating and tables for everyone to enjoy. There is even a phone charging station. Next to that is an area with games such as tether ball, cornhole and more. My site was awesome, I stayed in the silly lizard site, with a table and two chairs and a fire pit. Sites are spaced out and situated to where you feel like you have a lot of privacy. If love to stay again. The camp host was super friendly and helpful I'd you had any questions or needed anything. 5 stars!!

Weekend Trip to Camp Saguaro

It was scenic and had good clean bathrooms and showers. It was a good place to see local birds. It is not far from the Desert Museum and the trails of Tucson Mountain park. The price was very reasonable. It is a little ways from town, but we liked that.
