No notice of a cancellation
I was not contacted by the host nor Hipcamp about a cancellation. This meant that I arrived to my camping site only to find out that I was trespassing - the host had left the property two weeks prior. Not only was this embarrassing but also potentially dangerous in rural Arizona. I would highly recommend booking with a more communicative host.

Above and Beyond!
Hosts were quick to reply to inquiry and messages, very welcoming, and incredibly kind and helpful! We only had time to stay a quick overnight, but I am sure we would have enjoyed a longer stay if we had the time! Everything was exactly as described and my kiddo and I very much appreciated the hospitality and above-and-beyond helpfulness of our host family!

I stopped over for the night and it was beautiful (especially at sunset).

Left of nowhere and beautiful!
Quite, peaceful with lots of stars. Leila and her family are lovely. Great outdoor composting toilet. Close to highway 8, but far enough as well. Will stay again.

Desert winds & starry nights
The wife & I had an excellent experience at The Roost. Directions to the location were clear & we had no trouble finding the place. Our hosts were very gracious, offering us a welcome & even bringing us a jar of homemade pickles.
There is a compost toilet on the property, a short walk from where we stayed. It’s nice; toilet paper & plenty of privacy. You can lock the door & use the restroom without fear of someone spitting you. No showers. The campsite is flat & dry, as long as you don’t book your camping after a rain. Plenty of shade beneath a few trees. The wind while we visited was very blustery, so be sure to check the forecast prior to booking. The temperature at night was a bit chilly, so be prepared to bring layers.
The night sky is pretty dark here. You aren’t able to see the Milky Way, but things are dark enough that stargazing is impressive. It’s a wonderful place to getaway from the hustle & bustle of Phoenix, without having to travel super far.
Our only issue was the lack of privacy. The campsite is relatively near the house, with little shrubbery to protect from feelings of exposure. We also had a lengthy chat with the host upon our arrival, which as lovely as it was, is not in line with our preference to be left alone. If you prefer no contact check-in or would like complete privacy, be sure to specify this upon booking.
We’d definitely love to return to this spot as things warm up! Despite the wind, we had a great time stargazing & enjoying the peace of the desert. Thanks for a great stay!

Friendly funky fun spot
Leila and her family were very helpful and welcoming. Stayed here with a 27 foot airstream. Nice shelter - got water and a dump and used the electrical. Took a couple day trips to Phoenix and hiked in the local area - great hike about 3 miles away. Fantastic value.
