Located on Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest, just a hop, skip and a jump from the Fully Built and Operational Casino and restaurants (12 miles) and a stones throw from a trout stocked man made lake you just may find your next quick camping trip. No setup or breakdown required. It’s already done for you. Just 30 miles from The Phoenix Airport, Saguaro Lake AZ, and 11 miles from the We Ko Pa full scale casino, this 1/2 Camp 1/2 Glamp getaway will offer you privacy in dispersed camping, Fishing, boating, water or skiing, lounging in a hammock, roasting hotdogs or snacking on S’mores in the 246 square foot nd 2000 plus cubic feet of space, this secluded getaway cozies up to the East Verde River. Sunrises, sunsets, and panoramic views are filled with pine trees and towering ponderosas. The gentle river, when flowing, is only 6 inches to a foot deep in most places—perfect for setting up a camping chair with a cold beverage while your dog relaxes right beside you without fighting a current. It’s quiet and private, yet just a mile from the main road and another mile into town. There, you’ll find a family-owned grocery store connected to a restaurant and tavern, plus charming local shops selling honey, beef jerky, and collectibles. The local firehouse is right down the street, and the friendly residents will make you feel like a local, too. This campsite has no close neighbors—you’ll be secluded, but still close to civilization if needed. Amenities include a charging station for your electronic devices and lighting. The huge 256-square-foot dome tent (over 2,000 cubic feet) is larger than the average hotel room. It features a queen-sized bed with fresh linens and pillowcases for a restful night’s sleep. The tent also has heating and space for up to 4 more adults on the floor—bring sleeping bags and share the experience with family and friends. The “Domed Taj Mahal” tent boasts 8 windows for stargazing and 2 doors for easy entry and exit. Relax in the netted adult hammock or the child-sized hammock for an afternoon siesta. We’ve even rounded up firewood for you—plenty of “cowboy cable”
