36mi from San Tan Valley · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
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.

36mi from San Tan Valley · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
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.
