TerraSol is a hostel-style camping spot for hikers, cyclists, birders, and van/small RV travelers. Our fun, friendly atmosphere and thoughtful amenities make TerraSol your perfect rest stop or base camp where you can recharge for your adventure — just 1/2 mile from town.
Camp under majestic mesquite trees, with Sky Islands mountain peaks all around. Prepare meals in the camp kitchen, then choose your spot to relax: morning sunroom, shaded deck, fire circle, or gazebo. Or lounge around your campsite with picnic table and chairs.
Look forward to WiFi, hot shower, insulated tent pads, and extra blankets, plus loaner bikes to get to town. And popcorn!
TerraSol is on the Arizona Trail Patagonia access route, the Sky Islands Odyssey bikepacking loops, and several inspiring gravel biking day routes. Several nearby hiking/walking trails draw birders from around the world.
There's plenty to enjoy in Patagonia itself, too. Grab a hearty breakfast, explore unique shops, and learn about our history at our historic schoolhouse museum. Dinner, drinks and live music are all evening possibilities.
Happy planning for your Patagonia adventure. Hope to see you at TerraSol!

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.

It is just a cool little place! There is a giant Saguaro cactus on one of the sites! They show movies every night on a drive-in theater style screen that they have above the pool! They have an amazing lounge area by the pool! Oh man, it's just awesome!!!

Toni & Karl’s property was safe, clean, and FUN. Wish I was in more of a social mood when I arrived, but I was ready for bed!
There was a little something for everyone. They had Dirty Dancing projecting onto the wall over their pool when I visited & a few tables of smiling faces.
I was worried about finding a spot to rest my head with the annual Tucson rock & gem show being in town, but Toni & Karl pulled through for me last minute. I arrived in just a SUV, and they made room for me. Very kind & welcoming! 10/10 recommend!

This was my second stay at this casita, and it was just as perfect as the first. The space is peaceful, beautifully set up, and clearly created with a lot of care and intention. Every detail feels thoughtful, making it easy to truly relax and unplug.
The host is attentive and kind, striking that rare balance of being available without being intrusive. Three nights here felt grounding and restorative, and I left already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a quiet, mindful outdoor retreat.
