Welcome to Our Earth-Building Artists' Retreat! Imagine a creative escape that's just a stone's throw away from the stunning landscapes of Arizona's wild desert. Our homestead is nestled right next to hundreds of acres of breathtaking BLM land. Here, awe-inspiring hills tell tales of ancient coral reefs full of desert wildlife and amazing night sky. History buffs rejoice, you're smack dab in the middle of the legendary mining towns of Tombstone, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista! Explore as you wish—be it the homestead's vibrant heart or the quirky charm of nearby towns. Our magical retreat offers cozy camping spots with amenities like a shower house featuring on-demand hot water—perfect after a day of adventuring. You'll also have access to our community space decked out with Wi-Fi and a composting commode. Need extra comforts? We also offer firewood and water-fill ups on a donation basis! A Few Considerations Before Booking: Getting Here: Your journey begins with a scenic drive, we live 5-10 minutes down a dirt road. It’s been freshly graded, so standard cars like a Civic or Prius will do just fine. That said, this route isn’t ideal for very low-clearance vehicles, those uneasy about dirt roads, or trailers/RVs over 30 ft. Off-Grid Adventure: Since we're living that sustainable off-grid dream, we work with what we call a composting "outhouse" rather than a traditional septic system. If this rustic charm doesn’t sit well with you, we might not be the ideal fit. Pet & Wildlife Lovers: We embrace friendly furry companions! Just bear in mind, the desert is home to critters galore—everything from coyotes to bobcats. Keep a watchful eye on your pets and please make sure you clean up after your pets. Adult-Only Zone: We cater to an 18+ crowd—so it's a peaceful haven sans kids. Eco-Friendly Practices: We encourage bringing biodegradable soaps to protect our trees and vegetation, we do provide biodegradable soaps if needed.

Hummingbird Ranch is a special place that shows a lot of care by the owner, Karla. The site affords a beautiful view of the Whetstone Mountains and is convenient to the Huachuchas, the ghost town of Fairbanks, Sonoita, wine country, etc. - a great jumping off point for the area.

1 night at Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

Our stay at Karla’s place was exceptional. We arrived just before sunset, and Karla was already waiting at the gate to welcome us and show us to our site. The spot was thoughtfully laid out and extremely well equipped. The 50-amp NEMA 14-50 hookup charged our Tesla without issue. The campsite layout is flexible and well designed, you can set up wherever you’re most comfortable and still have privacy and quiet. The property itself is more than a gem; it’s genuinely unique. We spent a good half hour exploring the artwork in the shared common space, which includes a kitchen area stocked with a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, and an immaculately clean bathroom. Karla is clearly both a craftsman and an artist, and the care she’s put into the property shows everywhere. Nothing feels generic or rushed, every detail feels intentional and one of a kind. We also had the chance to meet her horses and donkey, all of whom were gentle, friendly, and a joy to be around. The sunset was spectacular, the campsite was peaceful, and we enjoyed dinner in her beautifully decorated outdoor cabana. Karla was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout our stay. Everything was exactly as it should be. We can’t wait to return

Karla was super accommodating for my RV stay at her ranch. I'm relocating to the area and needed a place to stay for a few days until my new house closes. After several exhausting days preparing for my move and driving down here, the ranch has been the perfect place to get some much needed R&R. She didn't even mind my tortoise stretching his legs around the place! The pool, fire pit area, and other amenities are all well kept and proved a relaxing atmosphere. And yes. There are actual humming birds.😄

Wow. What an incredible way to visit Tombstone! This was one of the kindest, professional, cozy, and well-located camps I’ve experienced! Only two blocks away from the OK Corral - you can’t miss!!! I slept like a baby I’m my camper van and enjoyed all of the historical excellence Tombstone has to offer. Hosts are experts with recommendations on what to do and how to enjoy this old west city! You can enjoy the shops and museums during the day, and the saloons and night life after dark (just like Doc Holliday). Bring your cowboy hat! Highly recommended, I will be back next time I’m down that way.

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

Oh my gosh, where can I even begin. Karla is such a sweetheart! I absolutely loved her place. We were a group of three that booked last minute for tent camping. She was there to greet us when we pulled in and gave us a quick tour. She has worked VERY hard to create a beautiful little ranch with her own hands. She is amazingly creative. Do check out the scrapbook she has made of what she has done over the few years she has owned the place. It is AMAZING. Extremely talented, hardworking, and creative. I cannot begin to fathom the amount of effort she has poured into her property. It really is mindblowing. The bathroom was spotless, the tent shelter was extremely sturdy and well built, the grounds meticulously maintained. Again, she has built and maintained all of this herself. Karla really spares absolutely NO effort or expense to make sure her campers are happy, safe, and comfortable. An absolutely wonderful lady with a calm, strong and sweet presence. Just a tremendous, tremendous amount of thought, care, and artistry throughout. Highly, highly highly recommend. Thank you for hosting the Three Amigos, Karla. I hope we see you again.

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

Karla and the Hummingbird Ranch were absolutely the best! Not only is her spot fantastic, she is an absolute gem of a human being! The access to a toilet was pivotal at this point in our trip. She also rents her shower out, which was a huge draw for me. We stayed in her hand built cabana which was wonderful to set my tent up in and also be able to cook and hang out in. She has done a lot of work on her property and it is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite part of the day was sitting down at dusk watching all of her solar lights turn on. I would absolutely stay here again if I was ever in the area.

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

This was my first time using HipCamp and boy, does Karla set the bar high. The property speaks for itself, attention to detail everywhere, very clean property and very well organized and thought out. Treated us with a community fire pit, got to make some new camp friends along the way. Restroom was super convenient and clean, the tent site allowed us to have a covered gazebo over us for added warmth and comfort. Overall a 5-star experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Oh, and Reba the donkey is super friendly and loves ear scritches in the morning 😁

Karla’s land was open, clean, and very easy to move around in. It really shows that she takes great care of her property, and the structures she has built are wonderfully creative! ( to call them sheds does not seem appropriate:-) Her property is gated, and I felt very comfortable and safe there.

Karla’s place is as good as it gets, very clean and the set up was great, easy access to camp spots with electric and water at a convenient location. The facilities were top notch, next to the bathroom there’s your own private room with everything you need for a great stay, amenities were the best, pool access, pool house with table and chairs and the decoration throughout were great. Karla is the best, she treated us like we were family. When we go her way again we will definitely use her Hipcamp!!
