Tucked into 20 acres of tranquil Sonoran desert just outside Maricopa, the Wild West RV Ranch invites you to unwind under wide-open skies and a backdrop of rust-coloured desert terrain. Whether you’re rolling in with a big rig or pitching a tent, you’ll find a space that feels both open and welcoming.
Choose from full-hook-up RV sites—complete with water, sewer, 30/50 amp electric, WiFi and a pull-through large enough for rigs under 50 ft—or go more primitive with a tent-friendly spot near the shower house and restrooms. Campfires are allowed at every site, lighting up nights under starry desert skies.
When you’re ready to stretch your legs, meet the “locals”: the working ranch on-site is home to emus, chickens, turkeys, peacocks and even a giant Sulcata tortoise—adding a fun wild-west-meets-farm-feel to the stay. And just beyond the campsite, you’ll find laundry, a small store stocked with ranch-fresh eggs, local honey, snacks, beer and wine.
Warm mornings, cool evenings, and the peaceful hum of desert life make this a spot where you can slow down, breathe deep and connect with the outdoors—without sacrificing comfort.
Highlights
• Spacious pull-through RV sites: full hookups + WiFi.
• Tent sites in a more rustic setting with water & basic facilities.
• On-site ranch animals and plenty of open desert space to roam.
• Store, laundry and shower house make for easy, comfortable stays.
• Campfires allowed—perfect for a laid-back desert evening.
Ideal For
• RV travellers driving through Arizona who want full amenity support.
• Tent campers looking for something more comfortable than “rough it” desert camping.
• Families or groups who appreciate a bit of character (hello, emus!) in their campground.
• Anyone wanting a peaceful desert base with a little ranch flavor, but still within reach of local conveniences.

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.

Tucked into 20 acres of tranquil Sonoran desert just outside Maricopa, the Wild West RV Ranch invites you to unwind under wide-open skies and a backdrop of rust-coloured desert terrain. Whether you’re rolling in with a big rig or pitching a tent, you’ll find a space that feels both open and welcoming.
Choose from full-hook-up RV sites—complete with water, sewer, 30/50 amp electric, WiFi and a pull-through large enough for rigs under 50 ft—or go more primitive with a tent-friendly spot near the shower house and restrooms. Campfires are allowed at every site, lighting up nights under starry desert skies.
When you’re ready to stretch your legs, meet the “locals”: the working ranch on-site is home to emus, chickens, turkeys, peacocks and even a giant Sulcata tortoise—adding a fun wild-west-meets-farm-feel to the stay. And just beyond the campsite, you’ll find laundry, a small store stocked with ranch-fresh eggs, local honey, snacks, beer and wine.
Warm mornings, cool evenings, and the peaceful hum of desert life make this a spot where you can slow down, breathe deep and connect with the outdoors—without sacrificing comfort.
Highlights
• Spacious pull-through RV sites: full hookups + WiFi.
• Tent sites in a more rustic setting with water & basic facilities.
• On-site ranch animals and plenty of open desert space to roam.
• Store, laundry and shower house make for easy, comfortable stays.
• Campfires allowed—perfect for a laid-back desert evening.
Ideal For
• RV travellers driving through Arizona who want full amenity support.
• Tent campers looking for something more comfortable than “rough it” desert camping.
• Families or groups who appreciate a bit of character (hello, emus!) in their campground.
• Anyone wanting a peaceful desert base with a little ranch flavor, but still within reach of local conveniences.

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.

Mesquite Haven
Escape to Mesquite Haven, a peaceful off-grid campground nestled on five scenic acres on Tucson’s west side. Surrounded by mesquite trees, stunning desert sunsets, and incredible stargazing skies (we’re part of the Dark Sky program), this is the perfect place to unwind, explore, or simply breathe.
We’re just 15 minutes from Saguaro National Park, the Desert Museum, and Old Tucson Theme Park, with endless opportunities for hiking, biking, caving, and even skiing on Mt. Lemmon. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a quiet retreat, we’re happy to help plan your perfect stay.
What You’ll Find
Our campground sits on half of our property—designed for comfort while staying close to nature. Choose from spacious pull-through sites with raised pads for tents, van camping, pop-ups, or Class B trailers up to 16 feet. Prefer something cozier? Book one of our two bunkhouses (full/twin or twin/twin beds) or enjoy our unique glamping tent furnished with late-1800s pieces.
Nature All Around
Listen to horses, ducks, peacocks, owls, and coyotes as you relax under the stars. Spot rabbits, hawks, eagles, lizards, and more. This is true desert living—beautiful, wild, and serene.
Good to Know
The final ¼ mile to the property is a dirt road that can be bumpy or muddy after rain. Some areas have uneven ground, so bring sturdy shoes. Pets are welcome—just keep them leashed and off the furniture.

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.

2 nights at Mesquite Haven
Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time visiting Mesquite Haven. We’re not even 2 hours away so we decided to give it a go and it wasn’t a disappointment. We stayed in the Tombstone Rose, it was cozy, spacious, clean & already had a heater inside, which they’ll show you how to use. They also will provide a Jackery for charging & to plug in the lights that are in there. Jennifer a Dave are very nice, chill & welcoming if you need anything all you gotta do is ask and they’ll come see what’s up. Right when you arrive Jennifer will be outside to show you everything, where to park, the restroom area, where to go look and explore literally everything. Then like I said earlier they are very nice people you can talk to them, it was nice getting to know them. Lastly they are pet friendly. Our dog did cause a little problem but we just contacted them right away and they came over to see what the situation was, they didn’t make us feel bad or anything because accidents do happen. Just be straight up with them and they will be with you too. So yeah I highly recommend coming here for a visit. Can’t wait to come again.

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.

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.

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 is the rare find that makes Hipcamp worth it. Attention to detail, everything works, it's fun, it's a great experience and a great place to camp. It's wild - you'll hear coyotes all night long (and they're closer than you think!) - and the desert is all around you. I can't recommend this team and property high enough.

It's very well thought out and employs some really cool metal in their communal restrooms/showers/sink. Although we didn't sleep in the "magic mushroom", since we had our own tent, it was a really fun structure that you could sleep in. Great place, great vibe. Highly recommend this campground.

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.

22 ft travel trailer
With pets
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!
