Dark Sky Camping and Glamping

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents763 acres · Tucson, AZ

We moved to this property after a year of searching for the perfect piece of land. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature. The more we fell in love with the peace and quiet of the desert, the fresh air, and the breathtaking view of the stars at night, the more we wanted to share our oasis with others. We love camping and wanted to be surrounded by others who love it as much as we do! We know some people prefer pitching a tent and complete solitude while others prefer a getaway with a really comfy bed and all the comforts of home! Whether you prefer to camp and would like hundreds of acres to yourselves or you would prefer to glamp in our private 80-acre tiny house village, we are here for you! Choose your adventure! Learn more about this land: Our land is surrounded by gorgeous mountain views and natural desert landscape. With plenty of surrounding vacant land and walking paths to explore, you will never get bored of the scenery. Get away from neighbors and stretch out as you'll have acres all to yourself. As if the daytime views aren't breathtaking enough, the sunsets light up the sky in cotton candy to bright tangerine hues and magnify the beauty of the mountains. The night sky sparkles with stars and constellations as we are a dark sky community with very minimal light pollution for miles. The sounds of the desert and wildlife help you to get the deepest sleep as there is very little man made noise in our area.

Shaded Campsites: Our two campsites offer a peaceful retreat under the shade of native trees. Located just a minute’s walk to the bathrooms and five minutes to the showers, these sites are perfect for guests who prefer a more traditional camping experience. Activities: Yoga Deck: Practice yoga, meditate, or simply relax in one of the hammocks on our outdoor yoga deck surrounded with lush vegetation and decorated with romantic vibacious lights. Communal Fire Circle: We have a beautiful communal fire circle that is big enough to accommodate up to 100 people! We don't allow private fires due to fire safety concerns but all are welcome to come together and gather around the communal fire. You might hear songs or stories or make a lifelong friend! Drum circle and open jam: We have several resident musicians here at Wind Spirit. You'll often hear a tune being played near the yoga deck or at the fire circle. Feel free to bring your instruments to join in or simply enjoy the vibes if that's more your style. Hiking and Climbing: Explore the many hiking trails or check out a nearby climbing spot for some adventure. We've included a list of hiking and climbing spots down below VVV Workshops and Community Events: Guests are welcome to participate in workshops and community events happening throughout the year. Some of the workshops we offer: Yoga Classes, Chi Gong, Meditation, Sharing Circle, Authentic Relating, Angel Walk, Improve Song Circle, Permaculture Classes, Wildcrafting and more! Stargazing: With our low light pollution, higher elevation and dry desert air, Wind Spirit boasts some of the best stargazing in the country. Most nights the milky way is visible and shooting stars are abounding! Bird and Animal Watching: Wind Spirit is a true haven for wildlife, where it's possible to see over 100 wild animals each day! From rabbits and birds to bobcats, javelinas, and badgers, the property teems with life. You'll also find road runners, hawks nesting nearby, owls, bats, and occasionally even a mountain lion or bear. We've cultivated a harmonious relationship with these creatures, many of whom have grown so comfortable with us that they might even take food from our hands. Wednesday Potluck: Every Wednesday all the residents of the community gather to have a communal feast and guests are welcome to join too! We only ask that you also bring a dish to share!
