Best in Arizona: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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. You can hike, dirt bike, bring your off-road vehicles, explore our property and rock hound for as many quartz as you can carry! You may even catch a glimpse of some wild horses, cows, bulls, birds, hawks, jackrabbits, and roadrunners! Nearby attractions include Keeylocko Cowtown (self proclaimed historic town just acres away with a old western vibe and bar), Kitt Peak Observatory, Saguaro National Park, Old Tucson, and Downtown Tucson. If you are new to camping, we can also help provide you with some of the necessities you may have forgotten for a small additional fee (chairs, water, tents, blankets etc). We encourage you to ditch your phone and enjoy nature while you are here. You wont want to miss these views! ** Please let us know if you do not have 4-wheel drive and will be towing a trailer, if you have large RV, or a car that doesn’t manage well on dirt roads. We have multiple campsites with different accessibility and want to help you find the perfect spot for your vehicle!

Dark Sky Camping

Loved it here!

We loved this camping site! The stars were gorgeous and the site was well maintained! Loved that the provided firewood was local, and it felt just isolated enough! My non-4WD made it but the ride was definitely bumpy! Totally doable and worth it!

The Studio: Dark Sky Glamping

The tiny homes were neat and cool, they pretty much had every basic needs. The scenery was nice and even enjoyed a lightning show. They have friendly ranch dogs that came out to greet us. It’s a wonderful place!

The Farmhouse: Dark Sky Glamping

We had so much fun. Bethania was a wonderful hostess. Everything was prepared for us including farm fresh eggs from resident chickens. We rented the ATVs which were super fun. Great get away - place to unplug. Ranch dogs ❤️❤️❤️

Dark Sky Camping

Cowboy Getaway

the "lale" site is an excellent and secluded camp site! a bit warm at the end of May but still very nice. very breezy and super cool to see the dust devils blowing through the area! the nights are cool and comfortable. we slept with the rainfly off the tent to watch the stars! Bethany and Brian were amazing hosts and we're super accommodating!! my toddler and I had a blast roaming around and exploring the area. there is more than enough space for a small or large group and the picnic table and fire pit are convenient! Definitely get old western feelings when sitting around the campfire in the middle of the desert at night!!
