Great stay at the ranch. Appreciated how close it was to sonoita for some tastings and also close to some pretty epic riding on the side by side. Thanks for being such a great host Kim. Hope to see you all again someday.

Great Central Location for Visiting

Campsite 4
Great central location to visit the Wineries, Las Cienegas/Empire Ranch, Patagonia, Kentucky Camp etc., along with dirt roads to bike/walk. Having hook ups for my little RV was great. The owners are great - responsive and the ranch is really nice. I took a quick weekend trip down from Tucson and I did not have the hassle of hoping a FF site was available at Parker Lake or Las Cienega's.

Beautiful views and quiet, restful evening. We enjoyed a last minute stay in our roof-top tent. The other folks staying were all RVs and super friendly if we met in passing. Easy trash and water (and hookup) at each site. Portable toilet was clean. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

We really enjoyed staying here on the horse farm. We felt very at home and were told that we were free to walk the whole ranch. The horses were so nice and friendly, the site was perfect and the sunset was unbelievable! We would definitely stop back at the spot again.

We had the most wonderful time scalping at Ranchi Del Nido. We woke up to beautiful sunrises, fell asleep to a wide open sky of stars, and enjoyed the freedom of space to bike/roam during the day. Our boys enjoyed a ride on their horse Whiskey and we enjoyed a day trip to Patagonia to see the hummingbirds and lake. We can’t wait to return! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

Campsite 5
We stayed 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend. We have a brand new fifth wheel toyhauler and brought our Razor UTV. This is a great location to explore all of the nearby trails. We rode in Empire Ranch, Gardner Canyon and Temporal Gulch. The only thing to note about campsite 5 is it is not level, however we had everything with us to level our rig. Other than that I would pick this campsite again especially for the views! I could sit and stare at the mountains all day. Kim was very helpful with directions, she met us at the entrance to the property when we arrived and provided local information. She also sent me a text the first night to make sure I saw the beautiful moonrise. Thank you for a great shakedown stay! We hope to return soon.

Great experience. We needed a secluded spot to reintroduce our horses to travel/ trail rides after a long period of down time and this was perfect. The hosts were super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

The campsite has its own water and power. The ranch is meticulously kept. The sunsets and sunrises don’t get better. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Cannot wait to go back to this little piece of paradise. Ranch is perfect location for wine touring in nearby Sonoita, or exploring nearby towns. Stayed in campsite 5 with a tent and would recommend.

We had a great one night stay here. We just did tent camping so Kim allowed us to choose a flat site that was a bit away from everyone else, which was nice of her. Very peaceful and scenic. We’ll certainly stay here again if we’re in the area.

This is an excellent place to stay. It’s a gorgeous area surrounded by mountains. Our site was level and very easy to get in and out of. It was great to have electricity and water (the water pressure was good and the water was cold and tasty). Kim was a wonderful host who sent us helpful driving directions and met us at the gate to direct us in. It was a close drive to the Kartchner Caverns, which we visited, and the beer at nearby Copper Brothel Bewery was delicious. We highly recommend this site!

Kim's ranch was a great spot to getaway from the city and enjoy some time in the beautiful high desert! Amazing views, great weather, easy access and hookups, we felt very comfortable and had a great time. Kim is a fantastic host and made a great effort to make sure we had everything we needed. Strangely enough, I had better cell service on the ranch than I do at my home in Peoria LOL. 10/10 would definitely stay again.
