Sanctuary at Sonoita Creek

4 sites · RVs1 acre · Patagonia, AZ

Sanctuary at Sonoita Creek was created as a place to enjoy the unique treasures of Patagonia, AZ. We wanted to provide a haven for people who value the outdoors to gather and take advantage of the recreational aspects of the area and also be walking distance to town. Our property was once a trailer court. We've done a huge renovation to provide RV spaces, a vintage trailer rental and tent camping.

La Hacienda Chuparosa

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres · Tucson, AZ

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.

Tulgey Wood

3 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Benson, AZ

This 40 acres has been in our family for 3 generations. It was formerly part of a much larger cattle ranch and has been host to many, many camping trips. This is a remote area with primitive camping and all that entails. We love the remote-ness but it is not for everyone. This land was part of a northern migration by nomadic hunter and gatherers and has continued to be an unofficial northern migration route for people through time. This area is a highway for migration of many species of birds and animals. It is a mecca for migration because it has one of the only water sources available.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent, throw out your bag, sleep under the stars in a primitive Arizona mesquite bosque. Choice of primitive camping sites. One RV electric hookup, no blackwater emptying station. This is a 40 acre parcel with the resident on 5 acres just off the main road. You'll find us 12 miles up a dirt road on the East side of the Rincon Mountains in Arizona. Very laid back area with lots of wildlife including bear, bobcat, snakes, javelina, coatimundi, raccoons, skunks, mountain lions, and lots of birds.
