4 nights at Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

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!

5 nights at Sanctuary at Sonoita Creek

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.

Weekend Trip to Rancho del Nido RV Horse Camp

We absolutely loved it. The directions were very clear and the owner told us to call just to make sure we made it okay down the road! We loved being by the house pens our daughter just loved them! We would definitely stay again if in the area!

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🤍

1 night at Karla's Hummingbird Guest 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.

1 night at Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

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!!!

Beautiful and well stocked campground. Mary is awesome and the furry welcoming representative was the best! I didn't expect so many kitchen amenities. Stove, kettle, fridge, microwave, and toaster oven.

Weekend Trip to Exception Ranch RV Site

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!

2 nights at Sanctuary at Sonoita Creek

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!

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

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.

1 night at Epic Private 300 Acre Saguaro Park

1 night at Solquest Retreat

This Hipcamp was amazing with the gated pool and very comfy Queen sized bed. Me and my pets loved lounging poolside and walking around the area (on leash). Sierra Vista was cooler in temp than the valley and greener then I anticipated. The host was very welcoming and greeted us upon arrival. I would recommend this Hipcamp

This was a great experience. Great views, wonderful dark sky at night this is an excellent spot to explore. Hosts are perfect. They have great knowledge and are so very helpful. The airstream was perfect. Excellent AC, Internet and Netflix.

Weekend Trip to Karla's Hummingbird Guest Ranch

Host is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Explains everything well on arrival. It’s a nice lil horse ranch with great sunsets. Pool area is immaculately kept. Bathroom is easily accessible and shower is clean with good water pressure. It is windier down there so we kept a 4 man tent inside. More than enough space to leave the table in and cook still. Great place for stop thru’s or long weekend. Well lit at night if safety is a concern of yours.

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.

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.

Hidden away in the rugged hills of southeastern Arizona, Patagonia Lake State Park is an excellent spot for camping, boating, fishing, and just enjoying nature. Patagonia Lake was created by the damming of Sonoita Creek and is now one of the best fishing lakes in the state. In addition to housing a healthy population of largemouth bass, crappie, and sunfish, rainbow trout are stocked regularly from November through March. The Sonoita Creek State Natural Area is located downstream from Patagonia Lake and offers additional hiking, backcountry camping, and wildlife viewing opportunities.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsite reservations are strongly recommended in summer and on weekends the rest of the year. Reservations can be made by phone or online up to 365 days in advance.
A two-night minimum stay is required during peak season weekends.
Eight camping cabins are available at Patagonia Lake State Park, some with lake views or pets allowed.
Twelve boat-in campsites can be reserved in advance. A boat is required to reach the sites and campers must bring their own toilet.

When to go

Patagonia Lake State Park is open year-round—the best time of year to visit depends on what activities you most want to enjoy. Spring is a great time for hiking, fishing, and camping. June and July are the warmest, making for a great time for water sports, while monsoon rains tend to cool things off in late July and August. Winters are typically mild and great for birdwatching and fishing.

Know before you go

Campsites include a picnic table, fire ring, and some sites have shade structures. All but two campsites have electric hookups.
An onsite market sells fishing licenses, firewood, grocery items, and other camping supplies. The Patagonia Lake Marina rents boats, canoes, and paddleboats.
Jet skis are prohibited on the lake, and waterskiing is only allowed on weekdays from May 1 through October 1. Waterskiing is allowed all days of the week for the rest of the year.
Guided bird walks are offered year-round. Stop by the visitor center or the Birding Trail kiosk near campsite #12 for information.
Dogs are not allowed at the beach day-use area but are allowed in all other areas of the park.

Patagonia Lake Campground

Lake front camping was great! But beware you will be camping very close to other people. We camped at site 104 and had a lot of RV's to our left but on our right we had 4 adults, 6 kids and 2 dogs. We rented a canoe from the marina for $35 for 2 hours. It was nice to paddle around the lake and see everything. Afterwords we "hit the beach" as my kids say. The next day was the annual Mariachi band festival with food trucks and wine tasting. Every campsite was booked and we had a good time on this busy weekend at the park. We will be back to try the boat-in only campsites so we won't be as close to other people.

Didn’t spend the night here. Pretty crowded campgrounds. As a vanlifer, I visit state parks to shower and refill water as a way to support the park systems. So my review is limited to day use. The lake was pretty! Enjoyed some time on the water kayaking with my dog. Facilities were nice as were all the people working there. We went during February, and all the snowbirds seemed to make up the majority of campers as we chatted with people around the park.

When you reserve the island (highly recommend) check in at the dock and use the shuttle service to get your gear out there. $100 for shuttle but totally worth it.

For beginner campers, this is great place to start. Campsites are pretty close together and there are restrooms nearby. BBQ grills surround each campsite and if you're lucky, so are friendly, fellow campers. If you're not so lucky, annoying, loud ones, haha. Finding sites with appropriate shading can be tricky so get out early to snag one if you plan on staying for more than a night. I'd suggest bringing a tarp for shade just in case you don't. The water is nice and refreshing and if you know someone with a boat, water skiing is always a blast! I've gone fishing and have never had bad luck catching at least a little, ol' blue gill.

Patagonia Lake Campground

Patagonia is only "isolated" in it's Location. The campground itself is quite compacted with sites, some too close to the septic field! But the Big Draw here is the lake which is the biggest around & has boat rentals & dockage. Fishing is good here so the park is very popular. Best bets are the primitive boat-in only sites dotted along the lake.
