A perfect retreat for those that like to see Arizona off the beaten path. Check out stellar mountain views, spectacular desert sunrises, sunsets, star studded night skies! Wildlife and beautiful friendly birds. Listen to the quietness. It's agricultural. You'll be serenaded by coyotes, mules, roosters, horses, goats. No street lights. Stars are magnificent! There's dirt paths/roads/trails. Bring appropriate footwear.
Located near some of the best hiking, biking, and horseback riding, in the state.
NOTE - Please advise that off the main paved roads we are down about 1 & 1/2 miles of dirt road; may be a bit challenging for XL 40 ft 5th wheels and very low riding RVs. Most RVs have no issues. Sometimes, the road might be too narrow for 2 vehicles; one will need to pull over in the plentiful wider areas... pls give the other vehicle a desert-rural-ranch- friendly "thank you" wave.
ENJOY! Get that "Way-Out-West" feeling. Wrap yourself in western fun. Take time for enjoying a morning cup of coffee and taking in the mountain views. Bring appropriate footwear; dirt paths/roads/trails. Your comfort is important. If needed, wifi available for a fee.
Some ranches offer goat holding, chicken egg gathering. Awesome hiking, mountain biking, horse trail riding, world-class golf course, exceptional places to eat, unique shopping. Great fun!

Cactus Rose Ranch offers campers a tranquil spot with stunning sunset and sunrise views. The host, Sally, is frequently praised for her warm hospitality and helpfulness, making guests feel welcome. While the site provides a peaceful retreat, the journey there might be challenging due to rough dirt roads, especially for larger RVs. Despite some logistical hurdles, the ranch's serene environment and full hook-ups make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking solitude near Scottsdale.

Not as pictured or described. Basically it was a dirt lot in the middle of a residential area and a few of the rv vehicles looked long term. Laundry facilities was a small unclean little shed. We stayed one night and left, haven’t received a refund as of yet for the other three nights. Really expensive at $90.00 a night!

Its very quiet. Make sure to get directions from Sally as the road to Cactus Rose are dirt roads and if one follows the GPS directions it will take you on the road that has significant hills and dips. Enough so that your motorhome or trailer may bottom out.
