Kentucky Camp Cabin and Headquarters Building

Remote! This is the place to disconnect, detox, and regroup! You can get great internet by walking up the steep driveway and while you're up there you'll get fabulous views. Like the stuff paintings are made of. Great history, culture and chance meetings of hikers (AZ Trail comes through), bikers, and maybe a rider! Awesome stories from the people you meet out enjoying nature. Also, a wild turkey (tom) circles the area at least twice a day. Distant howling of coyotes. Rabbits, deer, and birds. Just be mindful of where you keep your food at night as there's mice but it's all manageable.

It's in a beautiful location; beware that the combo numbers change and might not work for the main gate + cabin door. We arrived 9pm at night, with two young kiddos. Had to walk the last 0.3 mile and luckily could open an unlocked door. Otherwise we'd be sleeping in the car. Called the helpline, but did not receive a reply (either the weekend we stayed or after).

Not as many ghosts as other cabins in this program, even though it was a full moon and Friday the 13th. Nice collection of info in the binders. Didn’t see any mice. Clean and comfy. Easy drive that a Toyota Camry could handle.

I like the camp, the history, and all there is to see. Enjoyed talking with a few Az Trail hikers while staying there. The cabin needs some maintenance. It needs to be mouse proofed. There were many comments about a mouse visiting in reviews, but droppings were visible around the dishes, on the kitchen table, along walls in all bedrooms. This is unacceptable for any rental.

Not for the 5 Star/Med Club types. But for those who can weather some weather (hot and/or cold), cook on a grill, wash in a cold water sink, and do without wifi or phone connections, you'll be in 7th Heaven. The natural world of Southeast Arizona and the ghosts of the past are everywhere.

It's always a wonderful experience at Kentucky Camp but be aware you're required to be a little more independent, self-reliant, and responsible for yourself and those that come after you.

Great time, amazing location, don't trust google maps

What a special spot to spend time in the quiet and dark desert just south of Tucson. The cabin is well maintained and the surrounding area has some great exploring to do if you dig in a little... or its just nice to sit on the shaded porch and watch a thunderstorm roll through.

Insect repellent! There are assassin bugs in the futon. Bring a fan to increase circulation in cabin. We bring our stringed instruments down because the acoustics in the kitchen are outstanding.

Who says there are small critters in the building? We experienced none! Whoever got rid of them- thanks very much . The adobe makes the stay very pleasant. The warmth from the day comes in at night and vice-versa during the day. The vault toilet was clean and acceptable. Having solar lights come on with the back light is a nice touch. The microwave worked great and the water basin in back worked great. Yes, there were many hikers frequently passing day & night during the race from globe, but quiet, friendly & nice. I should have brought my telescope. All in all a nice couple days!
