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.

Cute, Tidy, Great Desert Experience

Camp Saguaro is awesome! It's definitely the cutest campground I think I've been in, and the place is incredibly well taken care of. If you are staying in the area to see the saguaros and get the "desert" experience, I couldn't think of a better location to do it. Super happy with our stay, even with the weather against us during it. And Michelle is the friendliest host!

Loved staying at Camp Saguaro! They have a cute little place. There was a coyote that yipped several times a night. Camping at a place with flush toilets, sinks, and hot showers was great.

Loved this place! Private and roomy camping spots, and clean bathrooms. And very close to Saguaro National Park and the Desert Sonoran Museum. The hosts are kind and helpful.

Perfect camp site for my purpose. Not to far from my friends in Tucson. One of the best showers I have used at a campsite like this. I loved the instant hot water and pressure control. On top of all this, the camp hosts were extremely friendly.

Funky, Fun, Nice, clean bathrooms and showers. Felt safe, good vibe. Early rise with the roosters. Plenty of barking dogs in the surrounding neighborhood. Yet they quiet down at night. Host checked in to see if we needed anything. Great price, I would stay again.

The Perfect Campground

We loved visiting Tucson and this campground was the perfect base for our adventures. Kim and Michelle have developed a magical place to camp. Everything is managed to perfection. The hot showers were so appreciated after a day of hiking. On a two week road trip we needed the use of washer/dryer. We stayed in Lovey Dovey and two other sites - all great. We loved all the attention to details. We enjoyed the group fire pit and visiting with others. Amazingly quiet at night - with the exception of the coyotes which we loved listening to. Just stay here - it’s the best!
