Weekend Trip to 1/2 Glamp - 1/2 Camp - 100% Relax.

We had such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly friendly and responded quickly to any questions, which made everything great. The campsite itself was absolutely beautiful! peaceful and surrounded by nature. Lots of trinkets and tools for use. A lot of wildlife in the area. Many coyotes at night but did not bother us or come that close. The site feels secluded but also conveniently close to town, so we had the best of both worlds. We also really appreciated the generous amount of firewood provided, which made our evenings around the fire even better! The road to the campsite is a little rough but could be cause of the rain. I highly recommend this spot. Lots of good hiking around the area like Tonto national park. Thanks Paul!

Jeffrey has many options for staying on his ranch with tiny houses and rv sites well spaced for privacy. The location reminds me of the Arizona I grew up in with dessert vistas and gorgeous sunsets. It was an affordable stay north of Phoenix.

It was a unique spot, very clean, organized. Jeffrey was a great host, considerate and made sure that our needs were met. Our site offered us a nice view of the mountains. Upon our departure Jeffrey surprised us with a carton of fresh eggs from his own hens. Thank you, Jeffrey. The only thing we would have preferred was to have our car parked by our camper.
