Accommodations
Aravaipa Canyon Ranch's main house can accommodate up to 28 overnight guests. Prefer to camp? Enjoy the acres of wilderness areas for tenting. Visit our accommodation page for details on our rooms.
Explore the Wilderness
Wander for miles through the vast terrain. Sit beside the creek and listen for the songs of the wildlife. Learn from the ancestors as your trace their steps through the washes. Blaze your own trails and open to the blessings from this giving land.
Camping at the Ranch
When your group size is larger than 28 people, in addition to the main house rental, we can provide space for camping.
We allow Class B & C RVs at the Ranch - truck campers, pop-up campers and travel trailers under 20 feet.
Because of the potential hazards of crossing the bridge and creek, the steep grades coming into the Ranch and the lack of adequate space
we can not accommodate Class A RVs (conversions, motor homes, buses, 5th wheels, etc.)
The charge for RVs is $35 per person, per night.
Tent camping is $15 per person, per night.
Extras - available by request

Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
Note to friends of Aravaipa Canyon Ranch: As many of you know, our rates remained the same for 16 years. Due to water rights, ranch maintenance and the desire to sustain your ability to return for many years to come, we are needing to raise our rates. We believe this is a modest and expected increase and hope you will understand the necessity.
