Iron Quail Ranch is a modern off-grid homestead and meat goat ranch. The ranch lies in the center of Avra Valley, Arizona on historic farm and ranch land which has gradually been managed to return to its natural state of mesquites, ironwoods, cacti, and natural grasses. The ranch sits beautifully positioned between Saguaro National Park and Ironwood Forest National Monument. At Iron Quail Ranch we offer you a private and secure RV or tent campsite on 15 acres adjoining over 200,000 acres of public lands. No tent or RV? You can add our "truckwagon" rental as an extra or primary sleeping space to your reservation. There are unobstructed views of Saguaro National Park (West) and a private entrance into Ironwood Forest National Monument. There is abundant wildlife thriving in the riparian watershed on the property. There is easy access to both National parks from the property via ATV/UTV, car/truck, or even horseback. Don't own an off road 4x4 or horse? You can rent our 4x4 ATV as an extra to your campsite reservation. The level campsites can fit everyone from a tent camper up to 40-foot RVs. There is good cell phone reception on all major carriers at the property. Potable water, a sewer dump station, an outdoor kitchen, and a modern outhouse are available on the property. 120v electric charging stations are also available to recharge your small portable electronic devices.

Michael and Sabine’s property was so peaceful and very well maintained. Throughly enjoyed our camp site near the goats watching them play with each other. Lots of places to walk our dogs and the sunsets and sunrises couldn’t be beat. The lights on our gazebo were a plus as was the clean and updated bathroom. The best Hipcamp we have stayed at-especially getting farm fresh eggs delivered to our site. Enjoyed learning from Michael the development of their farm and their plans for the future.

We had a great time at Iron Quail Ranch. The site is very private, and has a lovely gazebo and picnic table. There’s a goat enclosure nearby, and there were a ton of baby goats when we were there–very cute to watch over coffee in the morning. At night, the stargazing is very good. I got the added firewood bundle and would recommend it; it was great wood and we got two campfires out of it. Michael is a great host. The facilities (bathroom, campsite, outdoor kitchen) are all very clean. The provided directions to the property were clear and easy to follow. The campsite is pleasantly close to hikes in Saguaro NP, Tucson Mountain Park, and Ironwood Forest NM. All in all, I would recommend staying here.

Best camping experience

We had an amazing stay on Iron Quail Ranch! The land was beautiful, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The animals on the property were definitely a fun bonus and really added to the charm of the property. Especially the goats, they were so entertaining and definitely a highlight of our trip. Micheal was incredibly kind and welcoming, always available for any questions and easy to communicate with through the app. The bathhouse was spotless and well maintained, making the stay even more comfortable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with great hospitality. We can't wait to visit again!!

Camping under the Stars

My friends and I really enjoyed our camping trip at Michael’s ranch. It’s a great location to camp before heading out to explore Saguaro NP. We had a very comfortable stay with all the amenities provided. We only wish we had enough time to interact with the livestock before our departure! The host is friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this site.

Absolutely loved camping at Iron Quail Ranch. Michael and Sabine are very gracious hosts. Beautiful, private land with great amenities. Had a great time hiking and mountain biking right near the ranch. Amazing sunsets and star gazing. We’ll be back.
