We enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were great and helpful. Had all the essentials for us like water and a bathroom. We liked watching the animals and how quiet it was there. Dark skies and lots of stars. Their homemade goat soap is fantastic as well.

This cabin and land was exactly as described in the app. It was cozy the heater work the air conditioner worked hot water for the shower and a small refrigerator with a very very tiny freezer hot plate in microwave. Everything you need!

The Lazy Horse Ranch is easy to get to off of the main road.
I had a great night at Lazy Horse Ranch. It was quite and comfortably. The hook ups were in working order. I even got some much needed rain.
I checked out the horses, the library, there was a place to make coffee, do laundry. They had information about trails in the area.
Maybe I will bring my horses out for a horsey vacation in the future.
Thanks for the nice stay.

Hila and Tony’s goat ranch is a great location for exploring the area - Tombstone and Chiricahua Monument within an hours drive. They were very welcoming - we enjoyed Tony’s daily drop in chats. It was fun watching the goats, horses, chickens and dogs.

Tony was most welcoming and very kind. He even introduced us to his little baby goat, who was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. We had a great time camping there!

We loved our time spent at Rocking T Ranch! Our family (myself, wife and toddler) visited for a week dry camping on Tony and Hila's property where we learned about the ranch and the local area from Tony; got the chance to feed a baby goat; and visited nearby Chiricahua National Monument! We also had the opportunity to go to a nearby farmer's market to buy some of the ranch's homemade/homegrown food. Tony's beef jerky is the best! There is water on site: artesian well water! We had strong winds and even rain during the week (the first in 8 months). It was a safe and easy place to spend a week. Thank you, Tony and Hila!

It just depends on what your needs are. There's are community of people here and it's good for that. We found it far too windy and ended up leaving to head to picture rocks instead.

Weekend Trip to 3:10 to Dragoon
Great compact cabin with wonderful views and attention to detail. Nicely equipped, nice finishing touches. Friendly and responsive host.
Didn’t bother us, but part of the view to the mountains is a freight train line. Train traffic is audible, but even the one of our party who is usually noise sensitive was not bugged by it.

Group trip
We stay at the Rocking T Ranch every year with a group of students from our Humans and the Wilderness class to see the Sandhill Crane migration. While the birds were at first the main attraction of the trip, we have come to find that staying on Tony's farm and speaking with him about his life in agriculture has become as fundamental to the overall learning experience for students. They love seeing the horses, goats, and dogs and appreciating a totally different way of life than what they're used to in Paradise Valley.

Damon was a kind and caring camp host. His setup is rustic so don't expect a glamping experience but for those looking for an interesting place to camp away from the world it's well worth it. There are several different small hand built buildings on the property, one of which has a shared kitchen and bathroom, it's rough but is good enough for cooking and showers. The property also has several trees and shrubs planted by Damon and paths that one can take walks on. Oh, and there's also goats to check out! I also need to mention that Damon is a uniquely talented musical soul so if you're into playing or composing he might give you a mini tour of of his musical creations - they're very interesting- and show you his setup where he works on his music and offer to play some music together - my husband was surprised to find a musical mind to connect with in the middle of nowhere. He's also very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and was more than happy to share his tips with my husband and I on the best spots to visit and scenic drives to take. Damon made our camp stay very interesting.

Good pull through spot with lots of birds and farm animals around. The proprietors were kind.
Note that you access the property by turning west at 31.9273, -109.7541. We missed the turn the first loop around since we didn't see any other rigs (it was empty). There are some tight cattle guards at the turns off of Kansas Settlement Rd.

A perfect location for our birding daytrips in the area. We found the site clean and level with the full hookups available as promised. Clear directions to enter the ranch.
Enjoyed viewing animals on site, most especially the horses. I love horses and Tony shared stories about each one. This greatly enhanced my appreciation and enjoyment of them.
