Mesquite Haven

Escape to Mesquite Haven, a peaceful off-grid campground nestled on five scenic acres on Tucson’s west side. Surrounded by mesquite trees, stunning desert sunsets, and incredible stargazing skies (we’re part of the Dark Sky program), this is the perfect place to unwind, explore, or simply breathe.

We’re just 15 minutes from Saguaro National Park, the Desert Museum, and Old Tucson Theme Park, with endless opportunities for hiking, biking, caving, and even skiing on Mt. Lemmon. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a quiet retreat, we’re happy to help plan your perfect stay.

What You’ll Find

Our campground sits on half of our property—designed for comfort while staying close to nature. Choose from spacious pull-through sites with raised pads for tents, van camping, pop-ups, or Class B trailers up to 16 feet. Prefer something cozier? Book one of our two bunkhouses (full/twin or twin/twin beds) or enjoy our unique glamping tent furnished with late-1800s pieces.

Nature All Around

Listen to horses, ducks, peacocks, owls, and coyotes as you relax under the stars. Spot rabbits, hawks, eagles, lizards, and more. This is true desert living—beautiful, wild, and serene.

Good to Know

The final ¼ mile to the property is a dirt road that can be bumpy or muddy after rain. Some areas have uneven ground, so bring sturdy shoes. Pets are welcome—just keep them leashed and off the furniture.

Starry Desert Haven

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.

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!

Sunset Saguaro Park Retreat-HIKING!


🌵 Sunset Saguaro Retreat — Desert Glamping Bordering Saguaro National Park

Looking for a desert basecamp with big mountain views, towering saguaros, and skies full of stars? Welcome to Sunset Saguaro Retreat. Set right beside Saguaro National Park East, this site places you inside one of the most iconic desert landscapes in the Southwest. Tucson has been named National Geographic’s “Ultimate Star City” for its dark-sky protections, and you’ll experience those skies directly from camp. On clear nights, constellations pop and the Milky Way often shines overhead.

Exploring from here is easy. You can start your hike right from the property-no driving, no parking stress, no crowds. The national park is literally in the backyard, with 0–5 minute access to the Cactus Forest, Mica View, Freeman Homestead, and Desert Ecology trails just to name a few! Sunrise and sunset are especially stunning, with saguaros silhouetted against shifting sky colors and wildlife moving through the desert.

When you’re not out adventuring, stay and unwind. A deck with cozy chairs offers a perfect perch to watch the mountains light up at sunrise and glow at sunset. A fire pit makes for warm evening hangouts under a star-filled sky. On-property walking paths weave through native plants, some labeled for self-guided discovery. Benches at scenic viewpoints create quiet coffee, reading, and golden hour spots. Expect quail families, hummingbirds, cactus wrens, butterflies, and even Great Horned Owls who quietly hunt at dusk.

Want to venture farther? Classic Tucson outdoor experiences are close by: the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (~25–30 min), Old Tucson (~20–30 min), Sabino Canyon (~30–35 min), and Catalina State Park (~30–35 min). Hike or explore during the day, then return “home” to peaceful desert nights.

This is glamping, not primitive camping. RVs are welcome! Full hookups including electric, water/plumbing, and septic make it easy to settle in for multi-night stays and explore without logistical hassle.

If you love hiking, national parks, photography, birding, stargazing, desert plants, or simply waking up somewhere quiet, Sunset Saguaro Retreat makes an ideal basecamp for experiencing the Sonoran Desert.

Diamond Bell Park

Howdy, Folks!

My name is Joel, and I turned my off-grid property into a park. It’s located right across the street from a 3,000 acre swath of Arizona recreational state land. AZ state land is like a state park, but with zero amenities. So, I started building amenities on my property.

We now have trash service, compost toilets, running hot water, a shower building, a furnished campsite, a mini barndominium, and everything runs on solar power.

We also get Amazon deliveries.

The park is only 20 miles from the Tucson city limits, but when you get out here you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away. Your ears will ring for the first half hour while adjusting to the quiet.

It’s a great place to read a book, unwind, and take some time off from the mouse marathon of daily urban life.

It’s also a great place to bring your ATV, dirt bike, or favorite pew-pews to go play Mad Max Beyond Thunderchicken out in the state land.

There’s a little something for everybody if you know what I mean.

Night time is very dark out here. There are no street lights because Kitt Peak National Observatory is just over yonder. You can see it from the property.

Most nights the Milky Way is clear and visible in the sky. I have pathway lights, and low lumen lighting around the park, but a flashlight is still helpful for getting around at night.

Next door is a bird sanctuary with 2 macaws (Blue Bird and Max), and halfway up the mountain (Keystone Peak) is an abandoned fluorite mine you can go explore.

We are in the foothills of the Sierrita Mountains, at an elevation of 3,200 ft. That’s 1,000 ft higher than Tucson, and 2,000 ft higher than Phoenix. The plant life is very lush and green for the desert, and the wildlife is plentiful.
