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

We stayed at the lake site and it was everything we hoped for on a quick night away from the city. Directions were clear and it was easy to find. The views were spectacular and star gazing was excellent. The dirt road in was very manageable and well worth the trip. We will keep this on our short list of places to come back to when we need another night away!

A Unique Gem in the Desert

The Studio: Dark Sky Glamping

The studio tiny house is a gem! The space is so comfortable and has everything you need. The outdoor shower is hot with excellent water pressure. The dogs are adorable and all of the cows, horses and other wildlife were so fun to watch. Wonderful hosts- would love to stay here again someday.

Dark Sky Camping

Outstanding hosts! Beautiful, serene, quiet mountain locations. Absolutely indescribably beautiful sunsets and sunrises and overall area surrounded by mountains. Answered all my questions and we're very communicative, plus I purchased $10 worth of firewood from them which was easily 30 to 40 dollars worth anywhere else. I am definitely going to stay again as they have many different spots and if you want silence beautiful surroundings about half an hour from the highway, this is your place! Just watch out for Haywood Road because it is not always grated and it's pretty rough but any car can make it over. I took my Tab 320 travel trailer with my Tacoma and had zero issues. Absolutely wonderful getaway any amount of time!
