We invite you to come enjoy our sliver of the Sonoran Desert here in New River! We are situated adjacent to state land that displays a majestic Saguaro forest in the mountains. Enjoy easy access (via a short walk or off-road drive) out the front door to endless mountain trails, glittered with spectacular views. We love nature and invite you to enjoy the presence of wildlife. Our watering holes attract a variety of beautiful creatures, including mule deer. Enjoy the abundance of quail and rabbit throughout!
All three Saguaro sites provide full RV services (water, electrical, and 30/50 amp hookups) with plenty of space between for enjoyment of the views. Boondocker sites are great for easy in-out dry camping, making for an early start for your trip out of town or into Phoenix. Loose gravel throughout all sites (except for Boondocker 2, which is easy in/out from the residential street).
We are just 10 minutes from the I-17, nestled at the base of Mingus Mountain.
Once you have made it back to the I-17, Lake Pleasant is a direct 30-minute drive west. Head south on the I-17 from there and it only takes 5-15 minutes to reach many more amenities including groceries, Anthem Outlet Mall, Shops at Norterra, and restaurants. Rent an off-road vehicle, boat for the lake (or bring yours!), or plan a tour and ENJOY YOUR STAY! We are more than happy to help facilitate an exquisite time here so do let us know how we can best meet both your needs and expectations.
Feel free to reach out with any questions and a HUGE thank you to Dave and Loretta for the amazing work they did to create this space for everyone to enjoy. As we transition to new ownership, we are grateful to have the honor to step into this role. More to come...!
Thank you for considering us for your stay!

David and Loretta's camping spot is a tranquil retreat, beautifully maintained and surrounded by striking landscapes. Campers appreciate the easy access to a nearby saguaro forest, adding an adventurous touch to their stay. While most guests praise the peaceful atmosphere and the hosts' attentiveness, some mention the occasional noise from nearby dogs and traffic. Overall, it's a popular choice for those seeking a quiet and scenic camping experience.
We needed a spot for a night on our travels back north and found this option. Great boondocking spot with thoughtful landscaping and evening illumination. We enjoyed watching the birds and bunnies on the property. Description is accurate. Hosts were helpful. Will keep this on our list of places when we are back in AZ.
Ease of access to Phoenix was the most attractive part of this site. The property was nice and surrounding area was enjoyable. I would recommend. Dogs in area can be loud if camping with windows open. Camp hosts were very attentive even when not present.
Upon arrival, David was very friendly and directed us to our spot. David also recommended a walk in the saguaro forest which did not disappoint.
Had anticipated more privacy given the photos and boondocking description. Neighborhood dogs and road traffic were tolerable in the morning.
