Peaks Valley Preserve
Was very secluded and quiet. Looked like the campsite hadnt been serviced in a while, weeds everywhere, fire ring falling apart, and cob webs covering the power source. Porta potty was clean. Also there are packrats running around so be mindful of check your vehicle before you leave.

Peaks Valley Preserve
It has all the amenities advertised and the porta potty was in good shape and emptied on a regular basis. Appreciated the quiet and secluded feel. Was a 30-40 minute drive to Chiricahua National Monument. Lots of mice (many varieties) and saw a couple snakes (not rattle snakes) and jack rabbits.

Site was clean and well kept, everything described was true. Area is very beautiful and quiet. This is a wonderful alternative to traditional campgrounds.

Could not actually access the site, as the directions provided by the host required us to drive through a flowing creek, and the host did not answer when we called for help (it was 7:30pm though).

Peaks Valley Preserve
The campsite was great, we really appreciated having the toilet, potable water, and generator. The only negative thing was getting there. It would have been helpful to know that we needed to cross a significant creek to get to the site. It was doable with four wheel drive but a smaller car or van would have struggled.

Peaks Valley Preserve
We spent two nights at Peaks Preserve. Camp was as expected. We appreciated the amenities including the solar charger (be careful for the black widow in there), water, and clean bathroom. Directions were great. The campsite itself could use some trimming as areas were overgrown.
From an RV stand point, do NOT attempt to take any large campers down these roads. After leaving Highway 181, all roads are dirt roads. The first is wide enough for 2 vehicles but after that, some parts are barely wide enough for an 8 foot trailer. Thankfully, we did not see any other cars on these narrow roads. Turns were extremely tight, so any bigger unit may not make them. We crossed a dry, very rocky river bed. The roads would be impassable in rainy weather. None of this is the host’s issue, but we were unaware of these road conditions.
For RVers the campsite could use some improvement to make it more RV friendly. Entrances should be cleared, widened, and leveled. We entered in main camp area and exited the “parking” area. There is a large hump to get over and we were fortunate not to have damaged stabilizing jacks going over it. Removing the small tree/shrub in the camp area would allow for more maneuverability for campers.
Overall, it was a peaceful stay, and we appreciated the solitude.

Peaks Valley Preserve
The property itself is very well set up for comfortable camping. There’s plenty of water and a nice covered area with a picnic table. There’s a fire pit too and plenty of room for your tent. One thing to be aware of if that the road in and out can be quite rutted and muddy if there has been rain recently. Also Google Maps will get you to the site perfectly well, but following its directions out proved to be a bit dicey. I’d recommend arriving and leaving with daylight to make sure you don’t get lost. Otherwise this is a great site with plenty of amenities and seclusion.

This place is a little tricky to get to, but well worth it. It has the basics plus a place to charge your phone! Everything is well thought out and in great shape.

First off, those were the most accurate directions I've ever used in my life. Do not rely on google. Just take a screenshot of the directions and use those, you'll get there. Looks way more remote and middle of nowhere than it is, there are people around, they're just kinda far. The site was great! Very happy to see there was a generator and I could plug in my phone. Was also able to use my phone as a mobile hotspot and plug in my computer and use it. Great sunset and loved having a picnic table.

Although we got a little turned around trying to get there, Peaks Valley Preserve was as advertised once we made it. It was calm and quiet and private.

After following excellent directions on bumpy ride on dirt roads we came to our campsite. The campsite was graveled and level. We had the place to ourselves. We walked on the road for a bit to stretch our legs. We enjoyed looking at birds, seeing a jack rabbit and hearing coyotes yip in the night. The sunset, stars and sunrise were beautiful. Great site for one night.

Nice secluded spot with easy access to Chiricuhua National Monument. You need to bring firewood if you want to use the fire pit.

The open landscape culminating in mountains on all sides looks amazing at sunrise and sunset. Handy to have a charger available, although it won’t power anything like a hot plate or electric kettle.

Quiet, remote site in the desert.
Campsite is tidy, comfortable and has a few well placed night lights. Enjoyed a fire under near full moon cold evenings. Lots of birds and wildlife.

This was a great campsite. Great set up with access to water and a picnic table. Not too hard to get to, Michael and Kats instructions were spot on and easy to follow. Very open area and a good fire pit, make sure you bring camping chairs though.

We stayed one night here in our van. The place was remote so be prepared for the extra driving on tiny dirt roads. The ports potty was spotless and there was a place for a fire although we didn’t use it.

We loved the site! I felt like I was in the plains of S Africa (minus the giraffes, elephants and Impala, of course). Very peaceful and out there all by yourself! Thank you!

The first thing that struck me was the quiet, an occasional bird and the wind. Scrub in all directions, I was definitely in the middle of nowhere. The camp area is well thought out, with some shade from the sun & wind. There is with the required firepit & a clean bathroom. My company was primarily birds ( including a hawk that glided thru camp), jackrabbits, my pet cow and the coyotes at night. The sky at night is inky black and the Milky Way is obvious. There are so many stars it's hard to pick out the constellations.
Michael and Kat are "good people". Friendly, eager to help and returned messages promptly.
On a practical note, the closest firewood is 45min. away, so make sure to bring plenty. And it's a good 10-15 minute drive on a dirt road to get to camp with a bunch of twists & turns. Their directions work....even at night🙂. Convenience store 20min. away
All in all ☆☆☆☆☆ campsite.

We really enjoyed the stay at the camp. Such a beautiful landscape! We could hear wild animals at night and see an amazing sunrise. All promised facilities were ensured. It was a real pleasure to stay there!

We loved it! Super quiet, great views, dark sky location. The gravel area and the shelter worked great for us. Having a toilet was important.
Michael and Kat thought of everything! We hope to be back next year.

This site is very nice, with gravel pad and paths. There is a shelter and fire pit. Beautiful views of the mountains on both sides, and very quiet and dark. Heads up, the roads into the spot are washboard, so go gentle if you have a diy van like ours!

Michael and Kat were great hosts to a wonderful campsite. They were very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. There is plenty of space to park, as well as plenty of place set up camp and have a good time. The sky at night is so clear and we were able to do some great star gazing!

Perfect spot. A bit off the main road but so worth it. The site is well thought out; gravel parking, pristine tent location, a picnic table with a cover, AND a water tank! Exceptionally quiet and a lovely place to call home while exploring the area.
