Margarita Ranch offers a peaceful and scenic escape with stunning views and charming animals like pigs, horses, and donkeys. Guests frequently highlight the serene atmosphere and proximity to the quaint town of Cave Creek. Most reviews praise the host, Macy, for her accommodating and welcoming nature, making visitors feel at ease. Although overwhelmingly positive, there is a caution about the local flora, specifically a dangerous cactus, which could be a concern for pet owners.

Margarita Ranch is such a unique and beautiful place to stay! It was the perfect introduction to the Phoenix area for us. So many huge, beautiful saguaros, super dark at night to see the sky lit up with stars, and the friendliest pigs, horses, and donkeys to pet. Macy was a super communicative and hospitable host. We even found a wonderful hike to do after we checked out that was an under 15 minute drive from the site— Jewel of the Creek Preserve. We had such a great time.

Great stop and a great location! The animals are all so friendly and the spot is perfect, quiet but still near town and lots of activities. Make sure you order some eggs!!
Macy’s place was perfect for us! Quick drive to get out of Phoenix. Not too rustic, plenty of creature comforts, yet out of town with VIEWS and peaceful country setting. The ranch animals were a hit for my little girl. It was a three minute drive back to town for morning coffee. Brought it back to the trailer and enjoyed the peaceful, quiet morning. Macy and family were very accommodating. Her place felt very safe. Pet friendly was a plus.

My friend and I stayed in the Trailer at the ranch and it was so special! It was easy to find and the nearby town was super cute. Macy was easy to get ahold of and we had so much fun meeting her Pigs. We also did the hour long horse ride and it was a highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend!

Macy’s farm is super sweet. My 5 year old loved meeting all the animals. They were really kind and the view of the mountains was gorgeous!
Very peaceful, camper was tidy, and the sunset was so gorgeous! The saguaro cactus all around were so lovely. I wish we had more time there!
Great host and great sunset view. The water and 30 amp service work well. Would definitely stay here again. The little town of Cave Creek was fun to explore.
Exactly as described. Great location. Great host and communication.

I wish I could have stayed longer! Macy’s place is beautiful. I appreciated all the ways she made it easy to just pull up and relax - super clear instructions to access everything I needed. The animals are wonderful, the town is lovely and the scenery is stunning. Definitely on my favorite list when I come back through. Thank you!

This was our first time using Hipcamp (& our trailer) & loved our experience. Macy was great with communications, was incredibly welcoming, hospitable & kind. She was generous with her time showing my human circus around & even let them meet her new chicks (so stinking adorable). The property was close enough to town & other “stuff” that we didn’t feel like we were too far into isolation, yet off the main road enough to feel like we could enjoy the great outdoors. The great takeaways were: we felt that we could message her & get a quick response, we felt safe with her & being at her property, we were off the beaten trail just the right amount & we loved how welcoming she was to our tiny human. oooh! For any other first-timers: measure first, set up second. After setting up & leveling the trailer we learned we were 5” short on reaching the electric outlet. Total Back to the Future moment trying to connect cords. Good times! Thank you, Macy for the memories! And thank you for laughing with us (or maybe at us 😁) through it all.

Sweet quiet place, beautiful views very near amenities and great town of Cave Creek. We loved being near the animals, though that also comes with the aroma, which we didn’t mind one bit. Walking trail right off main road to walk our dog. 30 amp is on extension cord and worked fine to run our a/c. Loved it.

Macy’s ranch was on a very pretty piece of land. We played with her pigs. They were really friendly and loved belly scratches. Her horses were beautiful. We liked having a quiet spot to park our camper van that was not too far from the Phoenix area.

PROPERTY UNSAFE FOR PETS

Camp Marguerita Ranch - 30 AMP
Macy was polite and responsive to our request to book her single site. But unfortunately the positive experience ended there. My family’s single night booking was spent at the Emergency Vet after our dog was severely injured while on-leash by a particularly dangerous species of cactus known as a “Jumping Cactus” (google for information) just a few steps off of her driveway. Dozens of barbed spines impaled our dog, requiring surgical removal under anesthesia. The spines were so sharp that I too was embedded when I carried my dog to the car to get emergency assistance. We spent three hours at an emergency vet that night, which cost $991.00.
This outcome was entirely foreseeable and preventable, especially to a local resident. But Macy provided no warning to me, a resident of CT, about the single extremely dangerous cactus plant right off of her driveway. The property had no designated area to walk a dog (which is why we walked alongside the driveway), very poor lighting, and no barrier or border to provide warning or keep pets/humans safe. When I reached out to Macy, she apologized for not warning us, but refused to accept responsibility for our injuries because the cactus was a “native species.” (Macy refunded $65.00, the cost of our stay, but refused to pay any portion of the vet bill).
When booking a site on HipCamp, one expects more than a hose hookup, parking spot, and extension cord for an RV. We expected a safe spot for the night. But we were let down.

Great place. Macy was so sweet! Animals on site are so much fun
Adorable little trailer in a quiet setting to just sit under the stars. Close enough to town to enjoy the nightlife but not have to drive far. Macy our host was very kind and informative...even had a chance to pet the pigs! Great time, thank you Macy!!

We had a fantastic night. Our campsite was next to a huge Saguaro that she has illuminated with a light. We had shore power, which was wonderful, and then spent the evening next to the fire pit watching the stars. We could hear coyotes in the distance, and virtually no sounds of civilization. We felt like we were alone in the desert. The following morning we were able to see their horses and pigs, which is always fun and was a bonus for us. We would highly recommend staying here. We are so thankful that they shared their property with us.
