Jennifer and Jonathon's campspot was absolutely beautiful. Situated below the Catalina Mountains, the views were spectacular. It's also very quiet. The birds were plentiful and it was fun watching them. The land is very close to Oro Valley so anything we needed was an easy drive.

Seamless check in check out. We had no problem backing our camper trailer down the road. Site was very level. Had onsite trash and full hook ups. Beautiful location with lovely birds and outstanding views. Only suggestions are to have a recycle bin and a picnic table. We would definitely come back again and we recommend this site and the hosts highly.

A little piece of desert paradise

37 ft travel trailer

I loved camping here! The spot had all-around great views, full hookups, and spectacular sunsets. Jennifer was helpful and responsive to my questions. I can’t wait to get back here. Ohh, and I also recommend taking a tour of the Biosphere 2, it was incredible!

A very private vista

36 ft Class A

By far one of the best locations I have stayed at. We felt like we had our own mountain top spot with Fantastic views while feeling very private. I have lived in Arizona for over 20 years and these were the best sunsets by far!
