Ocotillo Acres
Our place can be difficult to get to and extremely inhospitable, but we love it. It's our home away from home and is a long term project that we've taken on which allows us a place to get away from quite literally everything about city life.

Our place can be difficult to get to and extremely inhospitable, but we love it. It's our home away from home and is a long term project that we've taken on which allows us a place to get away from quite literally everything about city life.
We recently built a structure for rain catchment and shade, but other than that there is nothing to facilitate a comfortable visit.
There are not any bathroom or shower facilities. We ask that you have a portable toilet, and be prepared to haul out all waste.
There is zero cell signal. Satellite communication or emergency beacon is recommended. There are structures visible from some parts of our property, but do not rely on people actually being in those structures; especially in an emergency situation.
Our place is not for the faint of heart and the only "glamping" you will do is with the items you bring out there.
If you're still reading this... the place is amazing. Stars fill completely dark skies, and coyotes howl to welcome you to their home. We've seen Tarantulas, Quail, Aoudad, Horny Toads, all forms of cactus, fossils, and even if Molly doesn't believe me... a big freakin' rattlesnake. We do ask that there be no hunting and no killing of the wildlife, but you'll have 70 acres of pristine desert to call your own while you're there, and we hope you see a bunch.

Places to see near Ocotillo Acres
Remember when your dream of camping was quiet solitude filled with nature, peace and beautiful sunsets. Remember when the sounds that invaded your quiet solitude were imagined to only be coyotes greeting the morning, the breeze across the desert, and the sound of your own heartbeat. This place exceeds those dreams and the reality makes your imagination pale in comparison.
If you want another tent every 20 feet, screaming children, idling rv’s, electrical outlets, and shared bathrooms; this isn’t for you. If you want the galaxy on view without light pollution, zero crowds, no tourists, privacy, no litter, and peace ; then look no further.
It’s beautiful. It’s primitive. 4wd is recommended. Follow the route that Phil provides. Bring water and bring shade. We will return here again, it’s perfect for what camping means to us and it’s perfect for day trips to the National and state parks.
