Family Camping!

This was exactly what our family needed. We live in the Valley and just wanted a night away. It was perfect for the kids, dogs and us. Thank you so much for sharing this little slice of heaven with us. We will be back! LOVED THE FIREPIT! AND SUNSET!

Beautiful but no privacy

The land and area were beautiful. However the campsite location is basically on the corner of two neighborhood roads, so there is no privacy with cars coming by often. Started to feel too much like we were camping in a turnout so we opted to leave and not stay for the second night though we had paid for it. Also, the listing invites visitors to explore the property but it’s very difficult to know where the property even is or ends. As mentioned, the site was in the corner of two roads. To explore the only other direction is towards the house, which was odd. Lots of private property listings all around the area. This campsite could be A+ if it was further into the property rather than on the edge. We are very easy going and have never left a less than stellar review but the campsite placement was just very odd.

The hosts were super welcoming and the place very lovely, lost in the middle of the desert. We will definitely go again!

Great little Desert Oasis

Amy has a nice little corner lot along a dirt road set up perfectly for our little camper! Easy to back in and fairly level surface for parking. There had been a bit of rain so the ground was a little mushy but we didn’t have a problem getting out. We also had to bail a night early due to some weather coming in and Amy offered an unexpected refund for one night - extremely accommodating and easy to reach via text. THANKS AGAIN!

The most beautiful views

Directions were clear, it was easy to find and not too far off the main freeway. There was plenty of space with a fire pit. The ground was just a bit soft and might be too soft after a rain. The views were AMAZING. The desert sunrise and sunset and the stars were some of the most beautiful you’ll ever see.

Beautiful Sonoran Desert Scenery

Beautiful Sonoran Desert scenery! Fantastic views right from the campsite. Quiet, private, very peaceful. The night sky was amazing; little to no light pollution. A great spot to enjoy stargazing around the campfire. The campsite is very spacious, especially compared to most campground sites. Will definitely stay here again!
