Good spot. Not too hard to get to, drove in a FWD Corolla no problem. Big piece of land, most of it is hard rocky. I found a very small corner with more dirt/grass mixture and it worked well for a 2p tent. There were big ants all over but they didnât bother me. Trash can provided, no other amenities. Not too loud and very peaceful, though close to city.

Once again I had a pleasant stay! Perfect for a safe place to park and hunker down for the night and close enough to adventure around Tucson during the day.

Had a wonderful time here! Close to Tucson and in a very private residential area. It felt very safe and Mik was an excellent host! I forgot to take photos but it was a wonderful view and I was lucky to be there during a crescent moon. The stars were bright and I had a blast stargazing.

Mik's place is very conveniently located near Tuscan, with the feel of your own place in the desert. It's next to a wash, so there is lots of wildlife to see and hear.
Mike is a very gracious host.

What a stunning spot in the desert. Mik was so kind, my original date had a forecast of heavy rain, and he let me move my camping day. The spot is quite close to Tucson, but even better just minutes from Saguaro National Park. The sunsets and sunrises are amazing, and I was greeted by a hot air balloon flying over in the morning.

A nice camping spot close to town but still feels private! Got to see some coyotes and the spot was perfect for a night while passing through.

This hidden gem is ideal for desert nature enthusiasts, as the campsite is nestled in a peaceful private backcountry neighborhood surrounded by beautiful saguaros and natural desert landscaping. The host was very welcoming and available if needed. The host left a welcome goody bag at the site for us, which included water and treats.
This part of Tucson is a dark-sky area, so there are no streetlights in the neighborhood, allowing you to enjoy excellent stargazing and observe wildlife activity. We saw a couple of javelina families with their little babies wandering around at night, saw some rabbits, and heard the birds and the occasional coyote at night. The host also mentioned that there are brazen deer in the area.
Our 20ft Lance 1685 trailer fit perfectly in the space, leaving enough room to park our truck next to it and still sit outside in our chairs to enjoy the outdoors. A grocery store and small shopping center with various dining options are only a 10-minute drive from the site. There is a slight dip in the road when entering and exiting the campsite, and the road is slightly tight when backing the trailer onto the site. We also arrived at night, so for us it was a bit tricky in the dark, but with our small trailer, we were able to park it just fine. Beautiful spot for the camper(s) who like to be immersed in peaceful desert nature landscape.

What a great spot just minutes from interstate 10. Very quiet, and secluded even though the ownerâs house is nearby. I would recommend and will probably stay again!

Mik's place was great. Beautiful setting, easy access, and he was very responsive. It's a nice, safe neighborhood with enough privacy to be very comfortable. Be sure to enter the address into your map rather than relying on the pindrop location to get there.

We really enjoyed our two nights relaxing in this spacious and quiet site. We especially enjoyed sitting outdoors in our chairs with the view of the saguaro cactus and wildlife. There must be a game path out about 150â to the west, one time we saw three coyotes walk by and later we saw five deer going down the path there.

Mikâs land was a safe spot that has beautiful views! Wasnât able to spend a full day there but definitely would camp again. Getting to spot there is a couple slopes, so be mindful of that. Overall a great spot!

I stayed here with my 17â travel trailer. It was perfect for my early morning commute to work in downtown Tucson. The surroundings are beautiful - I saw my first Javelina crossing here! I put my truck into 4Low for the two wash crossings, and utilized Mikâs personal turnabout to get my trailer in position. The space itself is not level, but it didnât affect me. Thanks for sharing your space Mik!
