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 mountain views were amazing. Full hookups were very convenient. Karla was very nice and my kids enjoyed grooming and exercising the horses. There were several amazing spaces guests can use… A coffee room and pool bathroom. The beautiful pool with amazing lighting for nighttime swimming. A cute little pool house with seating. A covered picnic area and a few other unique hang out spots. Very highly recommend!

Such an amazing place, we loved our stay. Shade over the RV, wonderful outdoor shower, walking distance to Paton's center for hummingbirds, as well as all the shops and restaurants Patagonia has to offer. The other cabins/trailers are brightly painted greens, oranges and blues, and the whole place just has the cutest, most charming, and relaxing vibe you can imagine. 12 out of 10 stars. Friendly, responsive and flexible. Previously we stayed in the Retro, and loved it, but this time we had our own trailer. We stayed at Patagonia lake for a few days first, but if I had to do it over again I would have spent the whole time at the Sanctuary.

I loved staying at Claire's camp. We had a site to put our tent on that was soft and having access to the water was great. The bathroom and shower were a most welcome addition in the summer weather. Instructions to get to the camp are also clear and easy to follow. The Saguaro national park is only 7 miles away. Super calm and quiet, with some friendly farm animals!

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch
1000/10- wow. Everything we needed and more. Karla is such a caring and considerate host with a magical place to share. My dog and I booked as a last minute self care getaway. Upon our arrival, the sun was still up and I already saw the magic: the horses, the donkey, the quaint sleeping area, the rocking swings, the pool area!! But then the sun went down and all the colorful lights turned on! I was so relaxed and happy that I fell asleep on my yoga mat outside in the dirt at 9pm - in the middle of yoga! I took myself to bed and slept so peacefully to dessert nightlife and horse sounds. The sun rises in the direction the camp faces- I was woken up so gently by the first signs of light and proceeded to finish my yoga sesh. Spent the morning contemplating life on the hammock and visiting with the breathtaking horses and donkey. I cannot express how much I needed this and how thankful I am to have had this experience at the hummingbird ranch🤍

This location is AMAZING. Karla has done a wonderful job developing her land, and is such an amazing welcoming host. She met me rolling in, showed me where to park, gave me the lay of the land and THEN, when I discovered some inside-the-camper damage (door stripped from wood frame d/t road vibrations) allowed me to walk through her massive tool garage to get everything I needed to fix it. I told her I'd likely be leaving very early, and she was up waving g goodbye as I was leaving at 5am! She try cares about her space, as well as her guests. And be warned, her pool is COLD! I expected it to be desert sun warmed, but it was uber refreshing! Thank you, so much, Karla, for everything.

We stayed at Sophia's and Anthony's campsite for two nights. I can't say enough good things about this site! The garden is beautiful 😍 and the fence was nice and secure for our two mid-sized dogs. Anthony was a huge help to us as we backed in (we're pretty new at this). Sophia was always available to answer questions. The location was very convenient for the places we needed to go in Tucson. Overall, highly recommended!

What an amazing night we had at Karla’s. We stayed in the pool house and it was perfect. Karla’s attention to detail is outstanding. The pool was so clean and the garden and lights made the night magical. Everything was so clean and comfortable and Karla made sure we had everything we needed. The price was great for what was available. The shared kitchen was great and bathroom spotless. Clear to see that Karla puts so much love into this property and we feel lucky to have explored her beautiful land. Just the flowers alone would make us return. This was a perfect stay and I would recommend it 100 percent. Amazing!!!

We enjoyed our time at Claudia's property. Our kid really had fun in the cowboy pool with an amazing view. We also explored the land with our dogs. The restroom was very clean and stocked. The best part was the peace and quiet we had during our stay. The hosts, Claudia and her husband, were very accommodating and thoughtful. We highly recommend them for families with kids and pets!

Oh my goodness! Where to start with this incredible campground? Our favorite Hipcamp stop ever! Nice big sites, free laundry facilities, outdoor shower, free bikes and kayaks, and a spiral staircase leading to a rooftop deck with nice views! Quiet and so close to town and an outstanding bird sanctuary. Within walking distance! We will FOR SURE be back again! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karla’s, I honestly don’t think it could have been better. If we weren’t en route to a wedding, we would have stayed longer than one night. We will visit again at some point. We were doing some wine tasting and just generally driving around the Elgin area as we’ve been through before but never stopped. Glad we stopped and beyond glad we met Karla and got to enjoy her sanctuary.

Camping in 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.
