Do you know or have you hosted this user?
My wife and I are mostly retired (in our early 70s). I was, and still am on a volunteer basis, a Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Arizona. My wife was a school teacher for a number of years. We have lived in Tucson, AZ off and on for over 30 years. We love to travel by Motor Home to various parts of the US, especially national parks. We have two sons and three grand children. We have traveled extensively outside of the US including many countries in Europe and the far east. Our current travel goal is to visit all of the National Parks in the US accessible by motor home. We love the outdoors and I am an avid hiker and biker. We are Christian and attend church on a regular basis. We love to met new people and look forward to welcoming fellow RVers to our home.

Very nice and quiet
SKP greeted me when I arrived and was very cordial. Plenty of space. However, he told me that I would be the last guest here as he and his wife had just bought a 40' MH and would be putting their home up for sale. If I had the money I would buy it!! If you are looking for a base to RV from this would be it with a great view of the Catalina and Rincon Mnts.

Little jem in middle of desert oasis
We absolutely love love love Tucson Az . This place as wonderful and very clouse to main hike area and nature preserve.
Host was very nice, we was able to chat a bit.
Just one concern ! If you are over 30f long like we are 38f it was a bit tight to get in and out! We are Coach 38f long and 8.5 f wide. Other that that absolutely lovely place. If we in area we definitely will love to come back to visit again.

Wonderful Couple
Our stay was very pleasant with beautiful scenery, and warm, hospitable hosts.
We were invited to visit with them our last night (stayed3). They are very interesting, and fun to talk with. She's a delight. He's very knowledgeable about hiking and bicycling in the Tucson area.
We'll definitely request to stay here again

Beautiful spot in Tucson
SKP’s place in NE Tucson is beautiful and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay there and appreciated the opportunity to plug in for a small fee. The vistas are stunning and a great place to walk and enjoy the desert landscape.

Just that - a desert paradise

Beautiful area
Wonderful stay. I arrived late but was able to visit with my wonderful host the next day. Beautiful setting in the desert. Great views of the mountains too. A sense of isolation for the suburbs.

Great Desert Location
Gary and Diane were excellent hosts. The property is easy to find, and they gave good instructions on how to access the site. The parking area in the rear of the property is a super boondocking place, open to the sky and plenty of open space. There is great walking for canine companions; do not miss the wash to the east where you can walk you dog off leash for miles if you desire. We shared a wonderful evening with them talking about our past trips.
