Super cool place with lots of common areas and Mary was very knowledge and helpful. Plus, you're only about 1/2 mile from downtown Patagonia. Highly recommend checking out Queen of Cups.

My favorite things about camping here was that it was peaceful, quiet and the perfect spot for stargazing. It feels like you are far away from everything and everybody yet there is so much to see and do within a short drive. Claudia was attentive and ensured that we had everything needed. Having full hook-ups, internet and so much space all to ourselves felt quite luxurious!

Great host and neat location outside of Patagonia. We absolutely loved our stay! We have a low clearance camper van and had no problems on the dirt road. Our host was kind and made us comfortable. We look forward to returning.

My stay at Maxine and Chad's Hdden Oasis was wonderful. Due to circumstances, I was upgraded to a Casita. It was so very cute, had a nice kitchen, a lovely shower, and a very comfortable bed. It was perfect for my need. The love and attention given to Hdden Oasis as a parent everywhere you look. Every detail is delightful and exudes a loving presence I hope to come back again with my husband and spend more time here. This place, surrounded by intriguing mountains, which I have no doubt are dripping with birds during spring migration, is truly a gem.

This is a classic southwestern rustic property with original adobe, modern amenities if you enjoy a shower with a view, movie theatre popcorn, microwave, sink, loaner bikes to get into Patagonia a short distance away and much more. Most of all, the space has an easy going owner, partner and resident pup and cat. It provides for a wonderful home base from which to explore the area’s hiking, biking, water activities and birding. I’ll be back!

What a perfect spot! Full electric and sewage hookup, and beautiful views. I short scenic drive away from Arivaca lake, and close to town if you need anything. Claudia and her husband are more than welcoming, and helped me in the rain when I needed it! I can’t wait to return!!

Weekend Trip to "Lil Red Camper Glamping in Style"
I had such a wonderful stay at Hidden Oasis! The hosts have put so much love and creativity into their place. All of the buildings are interesting, artsy, and sincere and exude a warm and friendly energy. The surrounding desert is lush, beautiful and teeming with wildlife. I’ve lived in Southern AZ for 35 years and still saw a few species of native plants and animals I’ve never seen before. The peace and tranquility here is superb, sitting outside enjoying the cooler weather and listening to the nature sounds was so relaxing that I slept better here than i have in weeks, and at night the sky explodes with stars, and I was lucky enough to see one streak across the sky. This is honestly one of my favorite places and I can’t wait to come back to visit the next time I’m in need of rejuvenation.

The place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful! Cindy, the host is friendly and helpful, giving us directions ahead of time. We had a great time last weekend with our dogs and cat.
Patagonia was 10-15 degrees cooler than Tucson but we still needed AC so the electricity was handy. The camp site was private and we felt safe even it's right by a road. The neighbors waved when he drove passed and that's really nice.
The gate to the property is tight but we got in with our 22 ft truck and 22 ft trailer (I misread the instructions). So definitely follow the 34 ft total length recommendation.

Claudia and Brian's Views and Stars camp site was just that. The views are spectacular, breathtaking. Rolling hills and mountains in every direction. The sunset followed by the star/celestial show the first night were some of the best I've seen in my life. Just incredible. The site itself was perfect. Full, easy hookup and pull through site. Loved having the cowboy pool and bathroom right next to the site. It's all very peaceful and private. Took several walks where I could only hear the sounds of fauna - birds, bees, coyotes and dogs. Such a special place. Claudia and Brian were so welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to return.

We enjoyed our time at Claudia's property. Our kid really had fun in the cowboy pool with an amazing view. We also explored the land with our dogs. The restroom was very clean and stocked. The best part was the peace and quiet we had during our stay. The hosts, Claudia and her husband, were very accommodating and thoughtful. We highly recommend them for families with kids and pets!

The sites are incredibly secluded, and there's a small town only a few minutes down the road with a fully stocked general shop.
It was a great way to spend time alone with my SO without driving hours away from everything we need.
The RV site we stayed at was also very well stocked.

Julie and her husband were wonderful hosts! The property is fully fenced in and feels very safe. The campsite was comfortable and well setup, with a nice fire pit. Easy access to the toilet and shower in the tack room. Their dogs are extremely friendly and fun to have around and being right there with the horses was exactly what I was looking for.

This is a beautiful, quiet property outside Patagonia. There is a large area for tent or RV camping that is level and has trees around it. The is also a gulch near by with a rich mining history, and beautifully colored rock. We hope to go back again sooner than later.

My partner and I had a lovely time on Julie's land. It was perfect for what we were looking for and we enjoyed the dogs and farm animal friends, and the peaceful evenings. We also enjoyed being so close to the east side of Saguaro National Park - just a 15 minute drive to the trailhead we hiked from. The bathroom space was maintained nicely. I was actually able to log into work from the campsite, so the wifi was quite good for those who might want that. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend for others.

I felt welcomed and acommated for here. The hosts worked with me as I was having scheduling difficulties on my part and were nice to me but please be respectful of their time as I say onto you. I can tell they have a love for animals and work hard to maintain a peaceful space. It amplified my stay in Tuscon and found the area relaxing when coming back from where ever. I recommend checking out the bear canyon trailhead near this spot to get the full experience, but camping here was very nice. Since there are horses on site, it'll keep all matters of venomous critters away as they regularly move about, but the horses are very quiet at night so I was able to rest well. It's far enough from the city to hear the nature of the sanoran desert. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

We had a great experience here! The view from our site was amazing. The owners told us that we were the biggest rig they’ve ever had - 40 foot class A towing a jeep. 😊. They were so accommodating - they trimmed a few trees so that the branches didn’t scratch our paint. It was pretty chilly our first night so they offered a fourth night free. Sorry we couldn’t accept as someone in our party had to get back for work. They gave us some fresh eggs on our way out - compliments of their chickens. Claudia and Brian were great. Loved the site! Thank you so much for the great long weekend!
