I loved the area. Great, private space with an awesome fire pit and open fire grill. We didn’t need to utilize it but there was accommodating chairs and a table.

Awesome Tent Site
I enjoyed tent camping at the Garden of Peden. The campsite is well maintained, easy to find, and provides quick access for day trips to both Saguaro National Park and downtown Tucson. All in all an excellent value, and I look forward to returning in the future.

Lots of good bird watching!
I had a lovely time staying here for two nights in March while visiting Saguaro National Park for the first time. I was the only one staying here for my two nights, which made my mornings very quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed making coffee and breakfast by my site and birdwatching while wandering around the garden. Lots of fun, curated areas of the garden with a huge variety of birds - woodpeckers, quail, cardinals, chickadees, and more. Only thing was it was a little confusing to find which spot I was supposed to stay in as I couldn't find any numbers on any of the sites, but it wasn't a problem as I was the only guest during my stay. Would love to come back next time I'm in Tuscon area!

Super cute
Had to emergency find somewhere to pitch the tent for the night when our campsite flooded and this was the perfect spot for a quick night! Close enough to civilization for a last minute trip but secluded enough to still have the camp vibes. The little touches of the grill and bug spray were awesome too.

Nice and peaceful!
Wonderful piece of property with lots of wildlife. Has ground squirrels, multiple types of birds. We stayed here for a few nights. Hosts weren't on site, but were responsive. Will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

Hidden gem
Great spot tucked back down a dirt road. We were the only campers last night 2/21/24 and enjoyed the peaceful desert landscape and amazing morning sunrise. This is a no frills other than beautiful nature. The host did a great set up for tents and offer utensils and grill warehouse which we thought was a nice touch. There's also cute seating throughout the property. No trash was visible and there were trash receptacles. Thank you for having us!
