Camp Saguaro is nestled in a unique and rural area on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. With the Saguaro National Park Visitor Center, Tucson Mountain Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum all within four miles, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the outdoors. Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park boast hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and non-motorized mountain bikes are permitted on the trails in Tucson Mountain Park. Let us be your base camp for desert exploration whether it's hiking, riding, birdwatching, and learning. Come to Camp Saguaro and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the desert. What to expect: We are in a rural neighborhood where most parcels are 1-3 acres, we have seven acres. It's quiet around here but along with the natural sounds of the desert like yipping coyotes, and woodpeckers pecking, you may hear a horse, dog, or chicken. While we are on the outskirts of Tucson, we are not completely remote. We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible. We have a small "Mercantile" on property. This is our office, but we also have items you may have forgotten, and souvenirs made by local artists. Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers). You'll need cash for these things, we do not take any other form of payment at this time. Camp Saguaro is tobacco-free.

Great campsite, great hosts. Michelle has created a charming spot for campers to relax and enjoy the area. Showers/restrooms were clean, and the sink for washing dishes was an added bonus! There were other campers at the site when we were there but the layout gives each site good privacy. Location is great for exploring Saguaro West and not too far from town. We would definitely recommend Camp Saguaro and would definitely stay again!

What a magical place! Super creative camping spots, each with its own personality. The hosts are so warm and friendly. So close to Saguaro National Park. Sit and watch the sunset, silhouetted with Saguaros. The hand-built bathrooms and showers add such a charming touch. Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic experience

Awesome place to go if you want to experience the desert and still have amenities. Very friendly hosts , clean facilities and easy to find your spot. Very fun little houses to explore also. Loved listening to the coyotes and especially the birds.

Quiet, Creative and Clean.

This place is built out the right way with sturdy, well crafted bathroom and shower facilities with nice hot water and plenty of water pressure. The entire camp is wonderfully clean, creative yet functional and you can't tell the owners take pride in this place. They are a wealth of local information too. So friendly and genuine. I enjoyed my stay and I'm looking forward to coming back soon possibly with an RV camper trailer next time! Oh and you don't have to worry about arriving after dark as the entrance and paths are lit up perfectly with soft lights(but not overbearing.) The entire camp is intelligently designed. Book now before the word gets out!

Amazing!!

My husband and I loved camping here, it was a beautiful experience in the desert. Right out side of Saguaro National Park. The sunsets and sun rises were amazing. Beautiful campground with so much charm. Extremely clean amenities. We loved our experience.
