Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Big rig-friendly
Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
Full RV hookups
Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at select sites.
*EASY ACCESS WITH LARGE TRAILERS* We invite you to come enjoy our sliver of the Sonoran Desert here in New River. We are situated adjacent to state land that displays a majestic Saguaro forest in the mountains (where our small rural community meets the wilderness). Enjoy easy access to endless mountain trails as you roam through the this densely populated region of saguaros (hike or bring 4WD) . The local wildlife entails a variety of beautiful creatures of varying sizes. All three Saguaro sites provide full RV services (water, electrical, and 30/50 amp hookups) with plenty of space between for enjoyment of the views. Boondocker sites are great for easy in-out dry camping, making for an early start for your trip out of town. Driving paths are covered with gravel throughout the property. Boondocker 2 is by currently closed for renovations. We are just 10 minutes from the I-17 (Lake Pleasant is just a 30-45 minute drive). Phoenix is a close commute, where you will find many more amenities. Rent an off-road vehicle, boat for the lake (or bring yours!), or plan a tour and ENJOY YOUR STAY! We are more than happy to help facilitate your time here. We welcome pets, but do note there are occasional encounters with neighborhood dogs and plenty of wildlife. For their safety, best to keep them leashed or bring an enclosure. In the future, we plan to provide an enclosure for dogs to safely play and run off-leash. Daytime arrival highly recommended! We understand though how travels go, so keep us informed of your ETA and we will help guide you in.

Relax, park, and hook up to the electrical, setpic, and water. Then, sit back to enjoy the quiet and relax. There is plenty of outdoor exercise if you enjoy hiking, and the wildlife is incredible. We frequently have mule deer, coyotes, lots of birds, rabbits, and squirrels. The sunsets and views of the New River Mountains are amazing! Even rent a quad or bring a 4WD with good clearance and hit the trails for the stunning views of VALLEYS of saguaro cacti!

This is a spacious, easy-access site with a level gravel space. It has electricity (30 and 50-amp), water, and septic hookups. This spot is tucked away towards the back a bit, affording a serene environment with views of the mountains and unforgettable sunsets.

This is a beautiful site with a majestic view of the Saguaro Forrest. This site makes Saguaro National Forrest a forgotten experience—several hundred of saguaro cacti are directly in your view, just steps outside our property entrance. Beyond the hill, the magnificent mountains and valleys are home to tens of thousands of saguaros! All this is just a short walk from your rig as our property borders state trust land, where you will find endless trails and wildlife galore. Hiking, off-roading, photographic opportunities, and more are available in our area. The springtime flowers are a real treat if you can book then.

This site has great views, is located on a cement slab, and has a nice sandy spot with shady mesquite trees out the front and a table. The quail, dove, and rabbit LOVE this area so expect to see plenty of smaller animals. This site comes with 30 & 50-amp electrical hookups, septic hookup, and water. You will love the views and the privacy. This site is best for smaller trailers and vans.

This campsite offers a serene and picturesque escape just north of Phoenix. With attentive hosts and easy access to surrounding natural beauty, campers enjoy both solitude and convenience. The well-maintained grounds, complete with full hookups, provide a comfortable stay, while nearby trails and wildlife sightings add to the experience. Despite occasional noise from neighborhood dogs, the overall tranquility makes it a favored spot for returning visitors.

What a great spot! We felt secluded for having a full setup; quiet, awesome stargazing, and easy to back-in. The kids loved running around and exploring on the new state land and surrounding saguaro forest. Shawn and Roxy were so kind and helpful to make us feel welcome.

We were looking for a last minute spot in the greater Phoenix area and we were hoping not to have to stay in a trailer park that seems so common. Shawn & Roxy’s spot was perfect. Located in a rural area in north Phoenix surrounded by saguaros, the spot was clean and quiet, except for the occasional coyote howl. The hosts were welcoming and responsive with all communications. The utilities worked great. Our only suggestion would be to have more signage to help campers see where to turn in to the property. We highly recommend this site!

Amenities were perfect, the site felt private, and we enjoyed the gorgeous views and sunset. Shawn and Roxy were extremely responsive and helpful. It was warm at night (around 75) so very grateful for the 30 AMP connection.

Absolutely amazing place to stay! We stayed for a month in our 44ft Toyhauler on site 2. It felt private and safe and hosts are kind and helpful!! There are also so many places to explore. There is a hiking trail within walking distance. Bartlett Lake, Pleasant Lake and Horseshoe Lake and all worth the trip!

This property is a peaceful and beautiful desert landscape nestled amongst the saguaros. It was a treat to see so many of the cacti in bloom. We did not meet our hosts but they communicated promptly and the directions provided were clear.
