Mid-century modern oasis.
El Pais is a remarkable place. The hosts are phenomenal and the car camping space has everything you could want to feel at home including an AC outlet and lights. When I arrived Karl took the time to show me to my space and dust off the tent pad. The clubhouse has a great patio and rooms to fit just about any mood you might be in. Every morning there’s a fresh pot of coffee and each night as the sun goes down a movie is projected over the pool. I’ve already extended this trip, and if they’ll have me I’ll certainly be back.

Great Vibes at the El Pais!
This is such a great spot, I was here last year and decided to come back again when back in the area. They have 2 very clean restrooms inside with a kitchen and seating areas, and then a great covered outdoor kitchen type area with tons of seating, fire pit, movie screen, and a pool. It's so nice to sit by the fire in the evening with the movie going over the pool. Such a great vibe!!

Fun Lil Spot in Tucson
Quirky little spot with clean restrooms, showers, friendly staff, and plenty of amenities! There was a fair amount of outside noise but we were in the camping spot and it was a Saturday night so that could have been expected. The artwork around the buildings and old busses and RVs in the lot were very cool. Overall definitely worth checking out. Would stay here again!

10/10, would recommend:)
Amazing vibes! We really enjoyed our stay here. Toni was fantastic and so helpful. The property was awesome and perfect for us. The clubhouse had really nice amenities, very nice bathrooms and kitchen. They had fresh chicken eggs you could cook for breakfast. Fantastic pool and patio area. We felt safe and property was accommodating for pets :)
