When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.
This campsite offers a serene experience with nature, enhanced by the presence of horses and friendly hosts, Julie and Mark. Campers enjoy the peaceful surroundings, though some note the proximity to a working horse stable can affect privacy. While the area offers excellent amenities like a bathroom and hot shower, the presence of security cameras without prior notice was unsettling for some guests. Overall, it's a well-loved spot, especially for animal enthusiasts and those exploring nearby hiking trails.
Julie's campground was clean and quaint, just what we needed after a long drive from Big Bend National Park. The tent pad was more than enough space for our two-person tent, the restroom facilities were clean, and our equine neighbors were quiet throughout the night. The coyotes kept us company with their songs, and watching the caretakers tend to the horses in the morning was wonderful. Julie's your best bet if you're looking for a comfy place to stay for the night with quick access to Saguaro National Park!
Beautiful and very peaceful camping spot. Beautiful views of the mountains, we love animals so this was amazing to be sleeping next to ponies and horses. Very clean bathroom facilities. Extremely safe. We loved playing with Mark and Julies’s dogs.
Mark and Julie’s property was great. They shared more than what was even expected of their property. We camped out near the horses and slept to sounds of owls and coyotes. Their dogs were also the best. The entire place was extremely clean. I’d absolutely recommend it to friends.
