Stories from the community

1 night at City Camp Spot

Wonderful friendly welcoming host. Very helpful and accommodating! If I come back to Tucson I would definitely book again. Loved how centrally located it was. Seemed like minutes to most things. They gifted me some fruit from their trees and had wonderfully detailed information on places to see and Restaurants!

1 night at Boulder hideout

Cabin and Land were Amazing... Loved the Peace and Tranquility! Good break from the daily routine in a unique surreal atmosphere.. Cole was a great host! As described and then some... Thanks again for Sharing your property!

7 nights at Saguaro national monument west

Do you love being in the middle of nowhere surrounded by Saguaro, Prickly Pear, Barrel, and Jumping Charro cacti, watching gorgeous sunsets, and star-gazing at night, listening to the white winged doves, cactus wren, Gila woodpeckers, Gambel’s quail and the cry of coyotes? Then this place is for you. Full hookups! Our 40ft motorhome had plenty of room. Saguaro Nat. Park entrances (E&W) are close by as is Mount Lemmon. Lots of hiking trails. Tucson is close enough, lots of shopping, groceries & restaurants. We can’t say enough good things about this place. The road in is dirt, gravel, & a bit of asphalt. It is worn, bumpy & washboarded, but take your time and it’s no problem and well worth the effort. We can’t wait to visit again.

5 nights at Saguaro national monument west

Camping on James' land was surreal - beautiful location for views and sunrises or sunsets. Easy set up and James was very helpful providing directions that made arrival easy. Quiet and would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Wild Burro Desert Retreat

Lovely and quiet spot. Excellent amenities! Loved having water, electric and dump station. The saguaros were in bloom too!!

2 nights at City Camp Spot

This is my second time staying here, and I will keep coming back. Myke is a fantastic host, and my cat loves being parked under the trees

1 night at City Camp Spot

Great spot great people!!! Was greeted upon arrival.

Weekend Trip to Boulder hideout

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was beautiful and unique, surrounded by scenic views and huge boulders that made the whole experience feel extra special. The cabin itself was cozy and perfect for a peaceful overnight getaway with my wife and our dogs. Cole, the host, went above and beyond by providing thoughtful amenities like fresh well water in a barrel, firewood, a lighter, a grill with propane, and even small but super helpful items like paper towels and dishes. It’s clear that a lot of care was put into making the place comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature with a few comforts included.

8 nights at Saguaro national monument west

This place was perfect. I will always come back when I’m in the Tucson area. It was stunningly beautiful, huge, impeccably clean and very prívate. I liked it so much I extended my stay after I saw the site.

9 nights at Wild Burro Desert Retreat

Bob and Cindy have a wonderful little spot that is convenient to so many things in Tucson. It’s like being in the wilderness but still having the amenities of the city. Cindy was very helpful. It’s extremely well maintained. I know some people complained about the dirt road but we did not find it that big of a deal. We hope that we get the opportunity to wander in that direction again and stay at the Wild Burro!

Weekend Trip to Saguaro national monument west

James was a great host and the location exceeded our expectations! It really does back up to park land and the views were phenomenal! Be sure to follow the driving instructions he gives you!! Google maps took me in a different and non passable way.

4 nights at Saguaro national monument west

This is a hidden gem for those who appreciate natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by desert cactus and framed by gorgeous mountain views, it offers a scenic and relaxing experience. It is reasonably private. Full hookups work great. The only downside is the access road, which is fairly rough and may be a bit challenging for larger rigs—so it’s best to take it slow on the way in. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy the desert in comfort and quiet.

2 nights at Wild Burro Desert Retreat

Beautiful, private setting. Bob and Cindy are amazing hosts! The welcome box was a wonderful addition. We will definitely stay here for future visits!

7 nights at Cola de Tucson

We Loved staying there, every morning we We had the birds singing to us while we walked our dogs. Great location, no street noise , super quiet, just like camping in the mountains. Had shopping close along with many historical sites to visit. This was the best camping we have had this spring. Can’t wait to come back.

3 nights at Boulder hideout

Beautiful location, simple accommodations, if you love nature you'll be in love with The Boulders!

5 nights at Saguaro national monument west

2 nights at Boulder hideout

If you are searching for a hideaway to unplug from the world, I recommend The Boulders as your next escape. We were there midweek and it was sooo quiet. We heard an airplane occasionally but little else. Photos do not do justice to the stunning landscape. This was an amazing experience I hope to revisit again.

8 nights at Saguaro national monument west

Awesome campsite. Relaxing and peaceful. Very quiet spot to unwind. Communications with James were always responded to in a timely manor. Will definitely stay here again

Weekend Trip to Boulder hideout

I spent two glorious nights at the Boulders. It's clear that Cole has put a lot of thought and passion into this cabin. I loved the attention to detail; the salvaged wood, the western style bedding, decorative ceramics, and the photos showcasing the work that went into building this one-of-a-kind treasure. On a personal note, it was shocking to see the Starlink satellite when I sat on a boulder marveling at the night sky (had to research it once I got cell service, as I thought I was observing a extraordinary astronomical event or an alien landing😆). The one thing I think some may want to know about is that there is a UTV raceway somewhat nearby. During daylight hours, you can hear it. It didn't bother me at all, but someone looking for complete silence may want to take note. Overall an extraordinary stay and I am thankful to Cole and Hipcamp for making it possible.
