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!

Lovely and secluded desert oasis exactly as advertised for road weary travelers. Enjoyed the seclusion, dark night sky and close proximity to Tucson. Highly recommended for its minimalism and desert maximalism.

I enjoyed my brief stay at Weary Traveler Haven and definitely plan to book again when I need a great place away from the city to star-gaze. Booked this stay to watch the Orionid meteor shower and was not disappointed. The tent platform was the ideal place to lay back and watch the sunset and meteor shower and then sunrise the next morning. I also appreciated the fire pit with its included grill. And it was incredibly nice having a clean and conveniently located restroom within easy walking distance from the camping spot. The location of this hipcamp spot was easy to get to, the instructions were simple to follow, and I was greeted shortly after my arrival with the fresh loaf of sourdough I purchased from the hosts. They were unfortunately out of the jam, but promptly reimbursed me and sincerely apologized. If you can afford to, definitely treat yourself to a loaf. It was delicious. Communication with the hosts was also really easy and their responses back were quick and always friendly. There was a bit of construction going on close to the property which started early in the morning, but it didn't bother me much. Overall, I had an incredible time at this location and plan to book again in the future.

The landscape here is beautiful, and I loved my stay! It was super quiet. I can’t really describe how much I appreciated a cool shower in the desert.

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.

Other than the heat, the site was very nice. We were the only ones there. First off, they were very accommodating. When our tent wasn’t able to fully secure to the bottom of the platform, they brought out some rope to tie it down. The property was beautiful, with a large saguaro right next to the sites that we had to take a picture next to. We saw a coyote the last night we were there not too far from the site, but due to the remoteness and environment, it’s definitely not a surprise. It was very central for the plans we had even if it is very remote, but if we were to do something similar again, we would definitely stay here!

Taylor was really chill and sweet to talk to. Her bread is also worth buying.
As for the campsite, our tent was smaller than the platform so we used some leftover rope to tie it down instead of using steaks. They had a great stove, hot shower, and portable toilet.
Would camp here again!

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.

What a beautiful, safe location. You can hear vague traffic now and then but are privately nestled among the desert brush. The platforms for tenting are amazing, bathrooms super clean, and environment was so quiet and disconnected from Tucson. Firepits were beautiful. space couldn't have been better.

Our family absolutely loved staying here. This will be one we look forward to staying at frequently. Everything was clean, and provided. It was a good stay at the ranch. We enjoyed seeing the animals and sitting in the creek even though it was pretty cold! Don’t think twice about booking this place ! Our host went above and beyond and the experience was great.

Great experience with Taylor! She came out to meet me and drop off her homemade bread and jam which made me feel safer as a solo camper! The land is beautiful and the fireplace, shower, and chairs are super nice additions. The stars were INSANE! Really easy to find, too. It is off the highway, but after 6 it really quiets down and you feel pretty secluded.
