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. 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. 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.

Our children loved the goats and dogs. Mike was super kind to teach us about his animals and the surrounding attractions and landscape. Our family enjoyed Saguaro NP and the Desert Museum, but the ‘goat camp’ was the best!

Desert Isolation, beautiful

Michael was very accommodating, and communication was prompt, almost immediate! The space for my 20’ trailer was prepared perfectly. Fire pit, picnic table and shade structure were better than most state or national parks. This is part of their 15 acre ranch. This is Sonoran desert, so don’t expect grass & trees. Great views of the mountains, and plenty of space to stretch out. Saguaro Cactus national park is right down the road and worth the time to see.

This by far was one of our most enjoyable Hipcamp stays. We loved the wide open spaces, mountains and desert. It was great visiting with Michael and Sabine who are amazing hosts! We learned a lot about the business and sustainability of the ranch along with visiting the goats and chickens. We also enjoyed Michael’s delicious breakfast of mesquite flapjacks, fresh eggs, bacon and goats milk in the open air! Great stepping off place to desert museum and saguaro national park. The bathroom was also a huge bonus as it included a shower. We will be back!

I absolutely loved camping at Lina! Beautiful views, awesome layout. I had breakfast with the hosts on my first morning, and they were very kind and generous. The canopy that Mike built was beautiful, and the bathroom for guests is amazing! I would definitely return! I loved the fresh eggs and garden veggies.

Great Camping Spot!!

We had a great time! The campsite was easily accessible with our 34' camp trailer with a pull through site. The site was extremely clean and the bathroom was super cute, clean, and had a very nice shower. The icing on the top, however, we parking right across from the baby goats and the cutest puppy. Michael was so welcoming and even gave us a tour of his off-the-grid home. The complete property was fenced and made walking our dogs easy. Michael even came over to check on our dogs while we were out and about. A+++ We would HIGHLY recommend!!
