Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents8 acres · Huachuca City, AZ
Welcome to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch! All guests must be over the age of 18. My private horse property is located in the Sky Islands area of South Eastern Arizona. I have 2 horses and lots of local birds hang out here. I offer 2 full hook-up spaces, one space is covered. Power is 50 AMPS! An RV must be under 12' to fit under the cover. I offer 4 dry camping options. You can book the Tent Cabana-The Shady Rest- listing or you can dry camp by booking through my Tent and Vehicle Camping listing. There are no exact designated spaces for tent/vehicle camping. You can choose where you prefer to camp. I also have the Pool House, an indoor option with a power outlet, and it's close to the pool and restroom area. There is a restroom/breakfast room off the pool area. This is my private property, you and your gear are safe and secure. You can leave your campsite and go exploring, no one will bother your stuff. I have WiFi and great cell service here. You must arrive by dark. My gates will be closed at dark. I am located just over an hour away from Tucson and 25 minutes off the 10. My place is 10 minutes from Coronado National Forest. The property is tranquil, peaceful, and quiet. You will see a lot of quail and other birds on the property. There are 2 varieties of quail who visit daily. Dry campers- Off the pool area there is a clean restroom in my back garage and a sink with hot water. There is a clean refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker available for your use. Each tent, and/or a place where people sleep is a campsite....in other words you can't book 1 tent camping site and then add your friends who come in their vehicle and set up a campsite. That is 2 campsites. NOTE- The only bad review I have is from someone who booked one campsite then had her friends come during the night and take another site. I had the nerve to ask them to pay for that extra site. (they refused). My photos-At the end of my gallery are photos of "PROJECTS", things I've made. This is for the "PROJECTS" extra I offer because I can't add those photos there.

The best camping near Tumacácori National Historical Park guide

Overview

About

Fort Necessity is located in southwestern Pennsylvania, which was the western frontier of America at one time. Little more than a stockade to enclose animals, the fort was George Washington's first taste of battle as a 22-year-old colonel. This would begin a cavalcade of events ending with the British surrender at Yorktown.)

The national battlefield here marks a turning point in American history. Step back into history when you visit the mission located at this national historical park. Start with the movie at the Visitor Center. A well-written booklet accompanies your self-guided tour, so you understand what you're looking at. In this park you're allowed to enter the buildings, so you get a full experience. You'll get a good sense of this region and understand what it was like to live in an early settlement like this.

The gardens are particularly beautiful, a true oasis in the Sonoran desert. Tumacacori is also very handicapped-friendly. Don't miss the gift shop at this particular Visitor Center—it has some really interesting choices (check out the cookbooks).

You can take a 4-mile hike if it's not too hot (Take water! You're in the desert!). The Rangers will give you a commemorative pin for completing it. If you'd like a shorter visit, end your exploration in the mission. It's cool inside, making it a pleasant place to sit and meditate. Come back at Christmas time to see the mission all lit up with luminarias, and stay for the special holiday events.

Hipcamp connects you to cool places stay in the Coronado National Forest and all around the Tucson and Tumacacori area. Book a furnished trailer, cottage or cabin, or sleep under the stars in a working vineyard.
