We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible.

Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers) 2.00 wash/2.00 dry.

When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

I was very impressed with the service and assistance that I received from Karla from the beginning of my stay to the conclusion of my stay. In my opinion, her resort ranch offers a chance for her guests to enjoy the splendid views of the mountains located nearby and to relax by the excellent swimming pool in restful solitude with Tahiti and Hawaiian art pieces. I found Karla’s brief memos about the intriguing history of the men and women in the America West during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to be both educational and yes even humorous. Karla provides her guests with an excellent evening lights that in my opinion are pleasing to one’s eyes. I highly recommend Karla’s Hummingbird Resort Ranch for anyone interested in RV or tent camping near Huachuca City, AZ.

Cool and funky atmosphere!
70s music abounds.
Night time movies by the pool.
Good strong coffee and a Berkley Water filter.
Bathroom/shower well kept and clean.
The hosts are very nice and loaned me a 30A adapter.
I'd go back for another stay.

We arrived in a driving rain storm. Bill came out to meet us and lead us to our site and helped us get backed in and set up. He couldn't have been more welcoming. Due to our inexperience, we managed to flood the interior of our trailer and Bill was right there with a shop vac to bail us out. Really beyond the call of duty!

We had a really nice 5 night stay at Claudia and Brian's Exception Ranch. This was our first Hipcamp experience. Couldn't have asked for a better location, and amminities. The pull through site is roomy and is graveled. The Ramada and bathroom are very nice. We enjoyed our daily soak in the cowboy pool. If you like nature, stars, and peace and quiet, this place has it all. Looking forward to returning for another stay.

Jennifer is great! I enjoyed spending time with her talking about life over a cup of coffee. Very welcoming. Will stay there again next time I’m in the area.

A standout RV Park and Motel with all the charm of the midcentury-modern American West with a tiki-bar twist. Toni is lovely and welcoming – as were all the staff I met – and she personally came out to greet us in the morning after we arrived very late. There is plenty to do but not the usual things to see...that's what makes it so special.
El Pais is truly a delight to behold and a place you'll want to revisit. TIP: If you try to book online and find there is nothing available, message Toni and Karl because that might be an error on HipCamp. You don't want to miss out on any days! ✌️

We really enjoyed our trip and all the amenities. They were top notch. Lesson learned from this camping trip you should wait till October to avoid insect activity..

1 night at Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch
Karla is a fantastic hostess and the property is absolutely beautiful! She has created a lovely little oasis with very thoughtful amenities. The fact that this is actually a ranch with horses and livestock, as well as a tiki-themed yard/pool/poolhouse is so much fun! Definitely unique in a very good way. Booking was simple and Karla's communication and kindness were flawless.

Very cordial and friendly Host! Well kept ranch and camping area. Felt very safe and the views are terrific! So glad we chose to stay at Karla`s ranch. Loved the solar lights that light up at night. Close to the birding areas I wanted to visit. Highly recommend staying if you are traveling through. I would certainly stay again.
