I loved my stay at Bethania and Brian's land. I was so close to the mountains that it really felt like I was desert 🏜 camping. Bethania met me at the entrance to their land and showed me around the 80 acres. I would say truthfully, I was a bit scared of camping in the desert. But knowing that they were close enough if I needed them made the trip so much more enjoyable.
I loved the fresh eggs. From the farm house located in the tiny house village.
Also, renting the ATV really allowed me to get the most out of their entire property. I highly recommend staying with Bethania and Brian's. I give it a 20 out of 10. Above and beyond my expectations.

What a wonderful time I had at Bethania and Brian’s place. I enjoyed star gazing, cooking on the outdoor grill, sleeping in the cozy queen bed and taking a refreshing outdoor shower. Bethania was timely in her responses and thoughtful in her guest amenities.

We had a great time camping here! We brought my baby and toddler and they loved it. It is very private and the stars are stunning at night.

Stunning views and so many stars!
Absolutely gorgeous camping spot. Bethania and Brian are amazing hosts. They were in touch with me the whole time but also gave us so much space and great directions to both get us there and help us enjoy the site to the fullest. They even stocked the campsite with a generous supply of firewood. Our campsite was acres of quiet and beautiful desert landscape. During the day we made our way to some shade trees by the watering hole then passed our nights by the campfire playing music. Will definitely return! Absolutely loved it!

Cabin fun
What an excellent resting and grounding experience. Very peaceful hanging out on the property for a week. Delightful pups too. Howled with them a few times. It was wonderful to shower under the stars. An excellent place if you're into sky watching. Thanks to the bock bocks for the fresh eggs daily, so thankful of them. All around, an excellent place to stay.

So peaceful and quiet!
Natural beautiful desert landscape! So peacefully quiet, the dark sky at night was a wonderful contrast for so many stars that were on display! The campsite was clean, well set up,with a picnic table, a couple of chairs and a fire pit. Bethania and Brian were such kind hospitable hosts, some of the sweetest people I have met! I would definitely recommend this campsite ,and am planning to come back again in the fall. Thank you for a wonderful stay on your property.

I loved staying at this property! The directions they personally send you to find it are easy to follow. Everything is just like the pictures and the scenery is even better than you can imagine! Bethania and Brian are the sweetest hosts and I 100% will be staying here again.

The spot was great, tucked in by the wee mountains. Bethiana and Brian were so nice getting us led in and set up. Quiet spot with a picnic table, fire pit, and thousands of stars... everything we could have wanted!

Bethania and Brian are amazing human beings! Their land is great and the camp spot was secluded. They mentioned that they were fully booked that night but I wasn’t able to tell anyone was around us, that’s how much land they own/we’re separated. They provide fire wood! With plenty of more wood easily scavagable real close to the camp site. We rented the ATVs and that was a blast. Lots of land and trails to explore, worth the price of the rentals for sure!

My favorite part of visiting Tucson
Seriously the best place to stay in Tucson if you love the outdoors and dogs! This was my second time staying here and I can’t wait to stay again in the future!!

We stayed three nights and it was great. Even with an almost full moon the stars were amazing. It was very peaceful and quiet and our dogs absolutely loved exploring the desert around us. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Close enough to Tucson to go into the city and lots of trail heads. I’m not a “dog person” but loved hanging out with them. There is a grill with a side burner and a fry pan, so easy to cook outside.

Amazing experience
Bethania and Brian were outstanding hosts. The campsite was phenomenal, and we felt like we were the only ones there. The peacefulness was so incredible that we couldn't hear or see anyone from the nearby campsite. We rented both ATV's for two hours for only $125, and it was a blast exploring the 700 acres of land. Additionally, we rented a heater and binoculars for just $20.00. There's a gas station and market 20 minutes from the campsite, and they have everything you need. Bethania was exceptional, and she assisted us with anything we required, even providing us with a map of the campsite and showing us exactly where our campsite was located. Brian gave us a brief introduction on how to navigate and operate the ATV's, and he even had firewood at the campsite and offered to bring more if we needed it. This place was without a doubt a 10/10 in my opinion.

Bethania and Brian’s campsite was beautiful! Directions to the location were clear and they were extremely responsive. The campsite itself was spacious, clean, and so private! Our dogs had so much room to run around and it was nice not having to worry about them bothering anyone (although, watch out for spikey grass in between their paw pads!). Lastly, the STARS are so beautiful at night! We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Natural Beauty + Privacy
Bethania was so friendly and accommodating. Our campsite was super private and secluded from noise/light pollution. We listened to coyotes chat and said hello to a herd of cows next to the watering hole as we wandered around. The sunset with a backdrop of saguaros and desert mountains + the nighttime sky was unbelievably gorgeous. Truly such a unique experience - if you’re headed to Arizona I highly recommend this!

The hosts brought firewood upon our arrival for a camp fire. It was extremely quiet and peaceful at the site.

Quiet, secluded, great spot!
We've stayed with these hosts twice now. They have a ton of land and ensure their sites are spread out. We have tried 2 different sites now. Both are very quiet and secluded. This time we stayed at the one closest to the mountain. It was more windy, but close enough to go explore the abandoned old west town nearby. Great wildlife views and night skies. All sites have big turn arounds to make driving in/out easy. Fire rings and picnic tables. And they provide firewood. The hosts are super friendly and helpful and respond quickly to all communications.

Achievement Unlocked: Desert Camp
My son and I had an amazing time at Dark Sky Ranch! I am already planning our next visit with my Wife in the near future maybe this time we will stay in a tiny house.
Beautiful dusk and dawn views and plenty of outdoor activities birding hiking, spotting etc.
The only thing I would recommend is a campers shower (I would even pay a little more for the desert luxury) in the tiny house village.
