What a great spot! We felt secluded for having a full setup; quiet, awesome stargazing, and easy to back-in. The kids loved running around and exploring on the new state land and surrounding saguaro forest. Shawn and Roxy were so kind and helpful to make us feel welcome.

Richard's property is eclectic and fun to wander. He met Mr a the gate and I was immediately introduced to two wonderful livestock dogs. Once we met, they were my friends and guardians as I wandered the property. Richard is the kindest man and shared lots of stories. The property is full of fun art from past burning man ventures. I think this guy could build anything you could imagine. There are goats, ducks, and a green house where he grows good own vegetables. He and a friend are planning on growling micro greens in a contraption they built. This spot was a lot of fun and the perfect place to spend time and relax.
If you are not into being in a chill atmosphere, animals and some duck poop, them stay clear. But if you want to experience a fun piece of property then this is the place. Make sure you get to know Richard and ask for a tour. You won't regret the experience.

This most recent stay was our 4th time at Shantel’s. Convenient to local restaurants and hiking parks. After a full day, returning to our site really allows us to unwind. We can’t wait to go back

This spot was ideal for a one-night stop on my way to Sedona. All of the animals are very calm and friendly with people, especially the horses. The view of the mountains and stars is really beautiful. Holly and her family are very kind and welcoming, and also allow visitors their own space. I stayed at Sunset camp which is a patch near the gate, good for self-contained car/tent camping. Heard the roosters in the morning! Rustic and cool spot.

Our stay with Holly and the animals was planned as a surprise for our three children – and it turned out absolutely perfect!
The communication with Holly beforehand was extremely pleasant, and she was very flexible when our arrival plans changed at short notice.
The campsite next to the animals was ideal, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ranch tour and the time spent petting and interacting with the animals. They are all so calm, curious, and friendly.
From our point of view, the surprise was a complete success, and our kids said it was the best campsite ever!

I had a fun visit here. Lots of animal petting - goats, pigs, horses, sheep and some very friendly dogs. You definitely get the farm vibe. I heard coyotes at night and roosters in the morning. Expect some noise, but in a good way. Conveniently close to Sedona and the perfect way to get away from the crowds. Holly is super friendly too.

Our time at Richards land was a great experience. The art around the property was really cool to look at, the tent sites were all flat and spaced out well, and we even got to use his fire pit to have a bonfire. There were ducks, a turkey, the friendly yard dog, and even goats so it felt like a little farm experience. The host was very accommodating with everything we needed and I felt comfortable bringing my two children there. As we left, he even showed us around his greenhouse and sent us in our way with peppers, basil, green onion, and carrots. We really enjoyed our one night here.

We loved our stay at Holly's. The animals were so friendly and my son loved feeding and petting all the animals. We even did a sunrise walk to greet the animals before we left. My son was so sad to leave. Very clean and quiet spot and Holly was very nice and responded quickly. We actually loved hearing the roosters in the morning.

Your camping in the backyard of a house on a 2 acre plot. Although it appears to be suburban and the lot is walled/fenced on three sides there is an astonishing amount of wildlife here. Flocks of doves, coveys of quail, tons of rabbits, other birds and we could hear coyotes every morning. The Suarouro (sp?) Cactus are really impressive if you've never been right up close to one. Our stay was quiet and peaceful, and Louise let me park the sprinter under the shade next to the corral... That was huge for keeping the van cool in 105 Phoenix weather. Thank you for that. The place is 20min from Mayo Clinc so we will definitely be back. And yes... we got a fantastic loaf of homemade bread.

We stayed at Sunset Camp at Harmony Acres Ranch and absolutely loved our time there. From the moment we arrived, Holly welcomed us with such warmth. she was in the middle of making homemade jams and jellies(which we were able to purchase at the end of our stay) and still took the time to give us a tour of the property and share her story of what brought her to the area.
The ranch itself is such a special place. The dogs were so sweet, and we had the joy of feeding all the animals — horses, chickens, pigs, goats, and sheep. Being able to spend the morning surrounded by them was a truly peaceful experience.
Holly made us feel right at home, even sending us off with delicious breakfast sandwiches for the road. Her care and love for the land and animals shines through in every detail.
We had an amazing, peaceful stay and would highly recommend Harmony Acres to anyone looking for a unique, heartwarming, and memorable experience.

Good directions, nice place and lots of animals. We knew the pasture would be dusty and brought a big blanket to spread in front of the tent. It was fun to have farm animals come by to check us out. All animals were friendly, the lambs adorable. The stars were amazing. Facilities were simple but quite adequate, everything as advertised : ) A unique experience, will likely go back at some point. Be aware that the trees in the pasture are rather small and don't provide much shade.
