6 nights at Catalina Vista

A very nice rv site situated with good views and a nice degree of privacy, nestled in an area with semi rural homes, some with horses. The site, as advertised, has full hookups, all working, and is level with room to park your tow or second vehicle. The owners were very prompt and helpful with communications. Highly recommended!

12 nights at Hopwood Homestead

My partner Teirza and I (plus our two chihuahuas) had a fantastic stay here. Jorgiana was an incredible host, and both she and the property owner were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. The site was clean, ready for us, and perfectly set up. You’re surrounded by saguaros the second you step outside, and there are great bike trails just minutes away. The views are absolutely stunning—sunrise and sunset both felt like something out of a painting. And if you head downtown, do yourself a favor and grab the best hot dog ever at Ruiz’s. Couldn’t ask for a better stay. We’d definitely come back.

7 nights at Catalina Vista

It was a relatively private spot, and flat. The view out our back end, facing West, was spectacular, especially at sunset. All utilities worked as stated. Plenty of wildlife, javalinas( look like boars, but no big teeth. You still don't want to make them angry. We had a family of ten come thru most mornings. Very much worth it.

What a wonderful campground! It was extremely clean. Absolutely beautiful location and so conveniently located near the national park! Communication was excellent. The hosts were so friendly and kind and hospitable. Our children had a wonderful time playing and doing a scavenger hunt! The bathrooms were very well-maintained as was the laundry room. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

4 nights at Saguaro Sky Ranch

My stay here was so lovely! Barb was very communicative and welcoming. The RV “Florence” was spotless clean and super cozy. It was easy to temperature control and the bed was comfortable. The location was super close to Saguaro National Park and also close to downtown Tucson. I would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to El Pais Motel & Campgrounds

What a great spot. Very welcoming staff, and great vibe that they've obviously put a lot of work into creating. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The common area is a great spot to hang out, watch a movie, and meet fellow travelers. The general area has some great food trucks and a fun neighborhood dive bar right across the street. Looking forward to coming back through.

We were only there for a night, but we really enjoyed sleeping next to the Saguaro and other cactus. The birds all over the cacti in the morning were also a real treat. The campsite was spacious and set up nicely. The showers and restrooms were set up nicely, as was the shared entertainment area. Communication before our visit was also very helpful.

Nice, large campground vibe. Kind of in a neighborhood, so less wild than I expected, but a good place for a night. Bathrooms were clean and laundry was easy and inexpensive.

The hosts were excellent and went out of their way to make the stay wonderful. The outdoor movies were fun and popcorn was available. Morning coffee came with the stay which made it nice . The common areas were comfortable and nicely decorated. Although it was in the city limits it felt like it was in a world of it's own. It was secure by locked gates so I felt safe.

Javelin Hollow was a beautiful campground with very nice amenities and nice people! Definitely the highlight of our trip to Saguaro NP. Great, clean bathrooms. Nice spaces with beautiful surroundings. Nice folks who helped us get ice and cook when our camp stove ran out of fuel. 7 minutes from the Wasson Peak trailhead and 10 minutes from the visitor center. The stars were the real highlight - 5 shooting stars, space dust and a satellite spotted. We would stay again! Thank you all. ❤️

My camp spot, Silly Lizard, was very private and quiet. My full size van and 13 ft Scamp trailer fit nicely. I had texted before hand to make sure I would fit (which was answered promptly) and this was one of the sites recommended to me. All the amenities were nice and so were the camp hosts. It was a lovely stopover on the way to my winter camp and I plan to stay again in the spring.
