Step back in time and explore the rich history of this property, once a mining camp in 1910, now a ghost town. Slated for strip mining in 2015, the land found a new purpose when I purchased it, safeguarding it for the future. Our non-profit is transforming the area into a conservation area with a purpose. Today, the Sonoran Desert Sanctuary is an evolving conservation area and PRIVATE SPIRITUAL WILDERNESS RETREAT for veterans and others challenged by PTSD and trauma. Volunteer opportunities abound for those with a passion for conservation and a love for the desert. Join us in shaping the sanctuary and contributing to the preservation of this unique ecosystem. Your visit and involvement become a part of the story, helping us create a haven for the Sonoran Desert's diverse flora and fauna. The proceeds from your Hipcamp stay go directly to the Anderson-Arroyo Foundation (501c3) and are tax-deductible as a donation. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the desert landscape, participate in our growth, and leave your mark on the future Sonoran Desert Sanctuary. Visit us and explore the unique blend of history, conservation, and community that defines our special corner of the world. 3.5 hours from Phoenix, Vegas. 4 hours from Flagstaff. 2 hours from Lake Havasu or Kingman.

Alamo Lake - Tent And RV campsite

Wonderful campsite with challenges

This place is wonderful but I would recommend having an off roading type vehicle with 4 wheel drive and good tires. The campers next to us got a flat on the 53 mile (mostly dirt, partially very rough) road to the site. We also got a flat. While I had a wonderful time my boyfriend said he thinks the road was too much for our suv. The first night we had to ask the tent next to ours to respect quiet hours, the second night we had the place to ourselves. Beautiful and peaceful. If you don't want to bring your own tent they do have cozy tents with real mattresses for rent. The flushing toilets and showers are a real luxury we also had a water spigot at our tent site which was very nice. The campers before us left a bunch of broken glass around so I recommend cleaning your tent area both before and after (leave it clean). Thankfully my dogs didn't step on the glass because I didn't do a once over until we were leaving. I really enjoyed my time there I did not wanna leave I would've loved to stay a few more days and if I ever have an appropriate vehicle I would definitely go back! Thanks again!

Everything was clean, from the bathrooms to the tent sites! The lake was so close! Bathrooms are close! Unfortunately the tent sites are close…to each other, however did not stop us from having a great time! Everyone was friendly and helpful! I would definitely go again!

Desert Night Sky…. Beautiful Oasis

This Desert Oasis campsite was beautiful with convenient amenities to include fishing, swimming, hiking, fire pits, and clean showers/restrooms. If you love stargazing this is the place to be! Love’s Campground was quite and very peaceful. We highly recommend the the ghost tour. The catered breakfast and dinner was absolutely delicious and refreshing after hiking and exploring through the desert campground. Jen, our host, was welcoming and so full of knowledge. If we return to AZ we hope to reserve another stay at Love’s Camp. We loved it here!

Jen was very helpful and responsive to messages/needs. The property is beautiful and you could spend a whole day exploring and only see a fraction of what’s there. If you go be sure to bring a telescope the night sky is amazing!

Glamping Tent #2 - 1 Queen Bed

Loved it. Tent and site were incredible, comfortable, and beautiful. Our site was a rocky unmarked drive from the lake, but we figured it out with Jen’s directions! Super great host before, during, and after. Definitely want to come back in the fall!
