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.

Adobe

We had a lovely overnight in Adobe! Very kind, communicative hosts and a neat property in an ideal location for hiking! Our hosts were incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure we had proper light to enjoy our evening and had trail maps and info to set us up well for the morning :) Can't wait for our next stay, thanks again!

Magical Mushroom

We really loved Camp Saguaro and have been recommending it to other folks on the road. The location is pretty perfect. We stayed at ‘Magical Mushroom’ which was delightfully quirky/ artsy and really well maintained and clean. Showers had plenty of hot water, the washing machines and driers worked very well and people were friendly and helpful. A great stay!

Adobe

I loved staying in the Magical Mushroom and the Adobe cabin. Camp Saguaro is a wonderful, quirky, campground that I will return to every time I am in the area. Michelle, and everyone we came in contact with were very friendly and helpful. The camp is clean, well kept, clean bathrooms and kitchen wash-up area, and plenty of hot water in the showers.
