Ranch Camping: Large Camping Tent
Our family had such a great experience camping here. Marissa and her husband were great hosts and were very responsive and willing to accommodate. The tent was spacious and even came with a cooling fan to help with the heat! Thanks for helping make my family’s first camping trip a fun time!

This is a lovely place, and a unique camping experience! The drive there is on a beautiful road through the mountains, and you can see mountains surrounding the property. The tent was comfortable and cozy, and perfect for glamping. There are hikes nearby, and it's a great place for a getaway! I definitely recommend staying here!

We had an absolutely amazing time, the tent set up was beautiful! Marissa was always quick to respond, despite being on a trip herself :) The blackstone grill and utensils were perfect for cooking our meals. We were even visited by the sweetest dogs on the property. It was a short drive to tonto creek where we hiked and swam. I would definitely recommend this place and would book again!

Canvas Tent for 2 - Cot Sleeping
Something important to realize is that this is a working ranch against a mountain with several other ranches close by. This means noise from machinery, OHV’s, cattle, roosters, and dogs. That’s the reality of spending time camping in an area with ranches as work is happening at all hours. At night expect to hear lots of dogs from multiple ranches howling as I’m sure they’re doing their job watching over the farm animals. In the morning you’ll hear roosters crowing.
We had an enjoyable time, my daughter liked the animals. I had ear plugs to help dampen any sounds. My daughter didn’t, and said she had the best sleep there. The hosts are amazing people who were super responsive and would communicate proactively and helpfully. They also were very generous in helping with any items we forgot to bring. Thank you!
We traditionally backpack and disperse camp as to not be around people, but wanted to mix it up and we enjoyed our time at the ranch. Depending on what you’re looking for you may like it or not.

Canvas Tent for 2 - Cot Sleeping
“Elevated” camping! The tent had a fan already turned on to cool down the space for me when I arrived. Comfy cot. There were towels and water ready for me. Very functional grill and cooking utensils to use, plus candles, bug spray and camping light. Love the fire pit to enjoy the evening. I heard horses, cows, chickens, and hummingbird throughout, plus the active insects who came alive at night (it’s outdoors after all!) Bathroom facility was secluded and functional.

Canvas Tent for 2 - Cot Sleeping
This is camping made easy so you can enjoy the experience, nature and those around you!
Marissa is a great host! She made sure we were comfortable with a larger tent, mattresses and a fan (it was a warm time of year). The space was clean and plenty large for 2 dogs and their humans to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
One thing to note when booking is that the river included in the pictures is a short drive through town. The only access point that we could locate requires you to either walk-in or some careful driving on a bumpy, flooded dirt road for approx 50 yards.
Our favorite parts included the cooking space and its gear, gas fire and the outdoor shower! Highly recommend!
