Vincent and his wife were very hospitable. I stayed in the casita. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed the variety of birds flying around the property. Great place to stay while exploring Saguaro National Park.

Great host, lots of good communication. Google maps gets a little confused out there (almost went to the wrong house/land), so just be aware. Vincent was very helpful.

Love this land! I returned for a second stay after a few weeks of being away. Great hiking trails into the saguaros. Quiet and beautiful and the host is very accommodating and kind.
When I’m traveling, I have a great need to bask in nature’s beauty. It’s such a bonus when the people in the shared space live from loving kindness. I hit the jackpot going to this camp. This trip will always cheer me up when I think of it. I will definitely be back.
This land and the sites were well beyond my expectations! Vince was very welcoming. It is so obvious, the love and care of the land. Magical camping amongst the saguaros. I felt safe and totally relaxed there and truly hope there is availability when ever I come back through Tucson.
Thank you Vince for your kind hospitality and sharing your beautiful spot so generously!

This is a great spot to camp among the Saguaro Cacti! 🌵It’s very close to the North Belmont access to the National Park (literally 100yds or so) with some very nice trails to make a loop hike or run.
I loved staying there. It was so peaceful and quiet.
I really enjoyed listening to all of the animals. The host is very accommodating.

My stay at Crested Saguaro was wonderful. Vincent was kind and helpful and within walking distance of Saguaro National Park. In fact, the location overall was super convenient. The casita had everything I needed for that stay. I would definitely recommend staying.
Vince was a great host. As I was bike camping, Vince suggested a couple great hikes & drove me to trailheads to then hike back to my camp site. Vince even took me to a grocery store to get provisions in town.
Great spot for hiking & great host!!! I stayed a total of 5 days over a course of two weeks exploring the Tucson area…..

I had a great stay at Vincent’s casita. Location is fantastic — close to hiking, cycling routes, and easy drive to restock provisions.

This spot is beautiful and peaceful! I recommend it for a nice stay!
This was perfect for what we needed - a place to sleep and relax between hikes. The host was responsive and kind, they stayed up to greet us even though our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until after 1am. They even left us some fresh fruit!
We had planned a very simple trip so the accommodations were more than we needed - microwave, toaster oven, fridge. The linens were clean, but not much else was. The lack of cleanliness (excessive dust everywhere, a pile of dead bugs behind the bathroom door) was really the only downside, otherwise great stay.
A convenient and comfortable, quiet place to stay if you like the desert. All the comforts of home, including quiet verandah. Note tight curved driveway so not for those towing long trailers.

Great spot! Out of the hustle and bustle but still convenient. Trails nearby. Would stay again!
I very much enjoyed my stay at the Casita. Easy to find, Vince met me at the security gate and gave me all the info needed for a comfortable stay. You are surrounded by an above average amount of awesome huge Saguaro cactus and other Tucson desert plants all around the property! A very scenic Saguaro west N park hiking trail 100 yards up the road. 20 minutes to downtown . 30 scenic drive minutes to the welcome center. I would gladly stay here again.
Vincent was a wonderful host and gave very clear directions and was there waiting when we arrived. The little cabin was comfortable and private and had everything we needed. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife and having places to walk nearby. The views were beautiful and we would recommend this place and would return. Inside the little cabin looks better than the pictures showed it and there are many things to read and see as well as a wonderful TV and refrigerator and air conditioner.. we had excellent phone reception there also. We would come again and recommend it.

Vincent and Julie and Cleo are all very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. Appropriately priced so the value is good. Besides some blooming desert plants, I saw hummingbird, quail and cactus wren. Vincent was very accommodating by providing equipment needed plus information about the area. There are pamphlets and maps available. Quiet and peaceful so at night we got excellent sleep. If we return to the area, I would definitely hope the property is available.
The land is so beautiful and peaceful. There were coyotes howling (far off) in the distance to end the day and mourning doves to greet the Sun! Vincent is a gracious host, so friendly and welcoming, and he is a wealth of knowledge about the area! I hope to make a longer trip of it next time to see more of the stunning Saguaro park!

Easy access to Tucson & Saguaro National Park! Site was large, easy to access & I especially enjoyed the stars & the cactuses at night. Primitive camping without water / bathrooms etc, but no problem if you come prepared . Vincent even came by to check on things & share some cacti knowledge & trail recommendations, overall a very pleasant stay

We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice and private and we liked how close we were to the park. It was just a short drive into town which was nice too. We saw lots of wildlife in the area which was very exciting as well.

Very calm and beautiful place near Saguaro National Park. I enjoyed the view of Saguaros in the spot. No complicated checkin procedures.
What a beautiful spot! Right out of Tucson and right on the border of Saguaro National Park West. Of course the sunrise and sunset and star gazing was amazing. Vincent met me to explain that the pull in is between the 2 pillars before his house (the house numbering is confusing and google maps took me one house past his to his neighbor’s driveway). Very appreciative.
The Casita was cute and comfortable for a quick getaway in Tucson. The owners, Vincent and Terry, were extremely nice and helpful, and added to the charm of the place. Their proximity to Saguaro National Park West makes it easy to go on many day hikes, and provides peaceful desert scenery for quiet nights and mornings.

Kind hosts who are flexible with check in time. Humble lodging with clean sheets to sleep in.
There were a few things that could be improved, as check in was delayed because the host was not onsite upon arrival and we were not sure how to enter the property. WiFi was advertised in this listing but host sent incorrect password twice before I gave up and went to bed.
It was a neat location and close to the West Saguaro National park.

What we expected for a quick stop while CC traveling. Vincent was nice. The only thing I would mention is W.Belmont is broken up in different sections and google maps took west of where we needed to be. We saw an Amazon driver and he assisted in locating the correct section.
Very friendly host! We arrived in Tucson later than we wanted and needed a place to camp, Vincent still took the time to come out and made sure we made it to the site and give us a tour even though it was late in the night! The campsite was just as described and very peaceful! A beautiful site to wake up to with the mountains in the back drop and wildlife doing their thing! Super grateful for him and look forward to staying again!
I highly recommend this site to anyone who is looking to explore Tucson/Saguaro. It is very close to grocery shopping and the park. On top of the location, Vincent is extremely helpful and communicate clearly. We had a blast despite arriving very late. And everything was very smooth.
Thank you for a wonder filled stay. It felt like home. A full blown Sonoran paradise. Highly recommended.
