10/10, would recommend:)
Amazing vibes! We really enjoyed our stay here. Toni was fantastic and so helpful. The property was awesome and perfect for us. The clubhouse had really nice amenities, very nice bathrooms and kitchen. They had fresh chicken eggs you could cook for breakfast. Fantastic pool and patio area. We felt safe and property was accommodating for pets :)

Toni was such an awesome host! Very communicating and SO welcoming! Gave me a quick tour of the grounds before showing me where to park (car camper here)! Didn’t have time to enjoy the pool but definitely will be back to spend more time. The whole vibe of this spot is so sick. From the eclectic 70s decor, to the outdoor patio complete with disco ball! There’s also several motel rooms if you’re not a camper or RV/van-lifer. There are two full bathrooms, an indoor kitchen that’s well stocked, and an outdoor kitchen/grill. One of the most unique places I’ve stayed and can’t recommend it enough! Toni and her daughter also live on site so she’s always available if you need any help with anything! Hot coffee on our way out this morning was a nice bonus! Thanks again Toni, it was so nice meeting you. Riggy and I will definitely be back!!

Had a blast!
I loved staying at El Pais! The common areas are so good. The vibe of the campground is mid century and funky, and Toni goes all in! There is a wonderful shaded patio to sip complementary coffee in the mornings, or to relax on in the evenings. Laundry, bathrooms and kitchen are hostel-style and authentic vintage. Great stay for my husband and me, two nights. In between East and West Saguaro NP and close to many restaurants.

Super cute spot, the bathrooms and common areas were very clean. We loved seeing the chickens in the morning and all the decor! Convenient location close to the highway, also made for some nice white noise at night. The gate to the property added a good sense of security. Toni and her team were very friendly and helpful and other guests were respectful and friendly.
