Learn more about this land:
Dust off your cowboy boots and come pitch a tent on this starlit rugged terrain. This property is something special, a fenced in area on a real western ranch. Say howdy to the cows on your way in and say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy the peace and quiet or saddle up and check out the local tourist attractions. Just a stones throw from historic Tombstone and the OK Corral and just around the bend from Bisbee and the copper queen mine; an old mining town with a new fangled twist. This slice of paradise is up high lonesome road off of Gleeson road. Follow high lonesome rd for a couple miles and then go through the white painted steel push gate. Some times the ranch dogs are loose and they bark and act scary but they won’t do anything. Just ignore them if they are there(it’s not too common). Continue on that road until a slight right down a steep incline onto silver bill rd. There is one more slight right to remain on silver bill rd and then you should be home free. Follow the road down the hill. Our gate is where silver bill rd. dead ends on the left hand side. It’s best to have the gps route pre loaded while you still have a strong signal before you get out there. Have a serene stay!

This property is at the base of the Mule Mountains with views looking over the San Pedro River to the Huachuca Mountains, the lights of Sierra Vista and San Pedro Mexico.
It's two miles away from the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, a popular trailhead for birdwatchers, hikers, and mountain bikers. It's just a 30 minute drive to Old Bisbee, a historic mining town with a vibrant music and art scene.
Also within a half hour drive, you can reach the Coronado National Monument, or Miller Canyon.
There is excellent cell coverage from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T
And... if you happen to fly a paramotor, you hit the jackpot. Just next to the camping spot, there is a landing zone. If you want to fly here, please get familiar with the local airspace. The riparian area has a 2000' requested minimum altitude. West of the river is restricted airspace and the boarder defense zone starts just six miles to the South. Heading to the North, then East, you are all clear. It's best to fly when the wind is coming from the West or South.

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.

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.

I had the pleasure of staying on Dina’s beautiful and peaceful land, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dina was incredibly helpful from the start, answering my call right away and staying on the phone with me until I found the site. I also appreciated that she accepted a last-minute booking, which made my trip much easier. Not only was she friendly, but she also took the time to educate me on the area, which was super helpful!

Great spot, great host!
We met Dina (and her cute dog) immediately upon arrival and chatted briefly. She gave us some advice about a question we had about spot we were thinking of driving to and we appreciated the input. Site was exactly what we expected and we felt safe and comfortable all night long. Everything you want in a primitive site experience.

Loved this camp spot, felt private the whole time. I needed somewhere to camp for a few days to hunt quail with my dogs, left thousands of dollars in camping gear unattended most of the day and everything was safe. Great views, amazing night sky. For tent campers, you will be unable to pound in ground stakes. I use a 1/2" impact wrench and 12" lags for my canvas tent and it took some time to find spots where we could fully sink most of the lags. Got it done and had a great time, will return for another hunt.

Quiet, private, and easily accessible, this campsite was a perfect retreat. The sunsets were breathtaking, painting the sky in vibrant hues, while the sunrises offered a peaceful start to the day. At night, the stars were absolutely stunning, creating a magical view that felt like you could almost reach out and touch them. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking for a serene and scenic escape.
