Camp Saguaro is nestled in a unique and rural area on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. With the Saguaro National Park Visitor Center, Tucson Mountain Park, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum all within four miles, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the outdoors. Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park boast hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and non-motorized mountain bikes are permitted on the trails in Tucson Mountain Park. Let us be your base camp for desert exploration whether it's hiking, riding, birdwatching, and learning. Come to Camp Saguaro and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the desert. What to expect: We are in a rural neighborhood where most parcels are 1-3 acres, we have seven acres. It's quiet around here but along with the natural sounds of the desert like yipping coyotes, and woodpeckers pecking, you may hear a horse, dog, or chicken. While we are on the outskirts of Tucson, we are not completely remote. We have carved our sites out of the natural layout of the desert. There are many kinds of cactus in our area in addition to the magnificent Saguaro, and uneven areas when walking. We keep it as natural as possible. We have a small "Mercantile" on property. This is our office, but we also have items you may have forgotten, and souvenirs made by local artists. Also available is firewood, and ice is for sale for your convenience. We have a small Laundry Shack (two washers, two dryers). You'll need cash for these things, we do not take any other form of payment at this time. Camp Saguaro is tobacco-free.

Curious Quail

As described. Pleasant location.

Everything was precisely as described and provided via videos and messages. The pricing was super reasonable. We were there for too short a time to enjoy any of the amenities, but there were several, and appeared to be in good condition. Not a part of the campground itself, exactly, but the other campers were all pleasant and considerate, and I think this location attracts well behaved guests. While very clearly a no-hookups campground, if I could suggest any improvements, I would have really liked even 20 Amp service to be available in at least some of the spots even if it were for an upcharge.

Little gem in the Saguaros

This place is fantastic. Such a thoughtful & artistic space. The hosts & guests were welcoming and friendly, but repectful of the other guests (and for NYE, that's saying a lot!). The shower/bathroom facilities were clean and perfect for the 30° weather at night. The Mercantile is a must, we found so many handmade treasures. We only wished we could've stayed longer!

We loved our Adobe house!

We loved this place! It was so so beautiful and the Adobe house stayed warm, despite it being in the high 20s at night. There was a great community there and a friendly host. Would highly recommend!

Flying Jewels

This was a great campground. Lots of hummingbirds around. It didn't feel like we were so close to the city.

My stay at Yippee Coyote near Saguaro National Park was absolutely perfect. The campsite had all the necessities, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout my visit. The location was ideal for exploring the park, and it provided everything I needed for a peaceful and convenient stay. I’d highly recommend Yippee Coyote to anyone looking for a great camping spot in the area!
