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.

Come and explore these 40 acres of raw desert land. The property is completely off-grid, surrounded by beautiful mountains and the dark night sky is perfect for star gazing. This land is very special to me. There are 5 dogs on the property that may roam as well as wild horses and cattle. There are plenty of walking trails leading to different areas of the property, making it easy to stay on a trail and explore. Located about 45 minutes from Saguaro National Park and the Desert Museum; about 1 hour from downtown Tucson. This location is also on the way to Kitt Peak Observatory. The roads to get here can be a bit rough so 4x4 vehicle is recommended!

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.

We really enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle. The only side note is the bushes along the road coming into the site are a bit over grown so it's really tight driving in if you don't want to scratch your vehicle or camper and the road is pretty bumpy but still very worth the seclusion.

Michaelette and her husband Owen are The Best Hosts! Communication before we arrived was excellent. Michaelette and Owen welcomed us when we arrived and helped us back in our travel trailer on a paved pad beside their home. Power, water, sewer and wifi are all included at a very reasonable price. Michaelette gave us a prepared handout with recommended restaurants and places to see in the area, which was very helpful. Thanks so much for having us!
We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this great location again if we return for a visit to Tucson.

Camp Saguaro is very conveniently located near Saguaro National park. It's easy to find and access. We stayed in the Javelina Hollow site for two nights in our Sprinter campervan. You may hear other campers nearby, but this site has plenty of privacy with all of the trees/shrubs. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked. The hot showers were wonderful! Overall, a nice, clean, cute, and well maintain property! I would definitely stay here again.

Nice campsite. The bathrooms and showers look very rustic in the photos, but they are very clean and the water is super hot, which is awesome. There is a dishwashing station with hot water as well. This campground is in a residential area, so you can hear the neighbors chickens and there are dogs barking during the day (it's very quiet at night). 3 minute drive to Saguaro NP. Overall, very nice, we enjoyed our stay.

This is the rare find that makes Hipcamp worth it. Attention to detail, everything works, it's fun, it's a great experience and a great place to camp. It's wild - you'll hear coyotes all night long (and they're closer than you think!) - and the desert is all around you. I can't recommend this team and property high enough.

It's very well thought out and employs some really cool metal in their communal restrooms/showers/sink. Although we didn't sleep in the "magic mushroom", since we had our own tent, it was a really fun structure that you could sleep in. Great place, great vibe. Highly recommend this campground.

Wonderful hosts and beautiful grounds. There is a sense of community here and we felt like we were camping with family. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms and amenities were a real treat and well maintained. You can tell the hosts truly love this place with all the attention to detail - there is subtle humor, tiny surprises, and quirky artistic touches all around with the signage, santa hats on saguaros, and the gorgeous mercantile filled with antique furniture displays and locally handmade gifts. If you are lucky, you may even meet Leslie and Mark while there, who come in seasonally to man the mercantile and help to maintain the grounds. We will definitely be back here for more Christmas camping and random adventures.

Michelle's Camp Suguaro was one of the best Hipcamps we've been to, and we've traveled all over the country. The Curious Quail site was perfect for our 22' travel trailer. I wouldn't try to stay here, however, if you have something bigger than that. The site had a very pretty, shaded sitting area with a table, chairs and fire pit. Top notch, clean amenities included bathrooms, showers and a dish cleaning sink. Yard games and laundry were also available, and the Mercantile was nice with both utilitarian and artsy items. The entire place was well organized and well maintained. It was pretty with lots of thoughtful touches making it inviting and cozy.
The description is accurate in saying you will hear some neighborhood sounds. Most, such as chickens, were not bothersome. The dog across the street that barked incessantly did become annoying.
The best part of Camp Suaro though, was the hospitality. Everyone was warm, personable, and helpful. We received great ideas for things to do and pointers to make our time in Tucson very enjoyable. We felt safe and welcome at all times. If we are ever back in Tucson, we wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else. Thank you Michelle, Kim, and all of you kind camp hosts!

The pictures are beautiful and eye-catching, but they barely scratch the surface of the alternate universe you step into when you arrive at El Pais Motel and Campground. From the moment we pulled in, it felt like we were part of something special.
The drive-in movie night with popcorn, the food truck and snacks, on-site laundry, and the welcoming community space all made the stay incredibly comfortable and memorable. Add in the creativity woven throughout the property, and it easily became one of our favorite stays to date.
Huge thanks to Jade and Karl for creating such a fun, thoughtful, and unique experience. We will absolutely be back!!

The location of Camp Saguaro is fantastic - minutes from Saguaro National Park and miles of hiking trails, while only 30 minutes from historic Tucson. The campground is lovely and well cared for by Kim, Michelle, and the other hosts. They were also a great resource for things to experience in the area. New and very clean showers, bathrooms, and a shared dishwashing area. Evening cayote serenades were a high point for us! The Flying Jewels campsite was spacious with natural vegetation barriers between us and neighboring sites—plenty of room for two tents, our SUV, a campfire area, and hummingbirds visiting the feeder. Our only negative experience - which the hosts really can't control - was some noise from the adjacent properties (dogs barking, vehicles, and music). Likely not as noticeable to folks in an RV. Overall, a great place to call home for a few days while exploring the Saguaro National Park area.
