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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed a quick overnight stay for Spring Break! We were surprised by the hikers passing through on the Arizona trail both evening and morning,, but they were not intrusive. Cabin is rustic, but cute and uniquely adobe. It was a bit cold outside at night but the little heater stover and one space heater kept us quite warm. There is a bunkbed that is stacked and one that is apart as two twin beds, plus the futon. Microwave and minifridge worked fine. We recommend the game "Made for Trade" (like colonial Monopoly) but if someone could bring in two replacement dice for it that would best. It was fun to go see the old hotel on site as well. If you go, DO NOT FOLLOW GPS as it will try to take you through the monastery. Follow the Forest Service map and look for the vertical forest service road markers with forest service road numbers on them at forks in the road! We made if fine in my Hyundai Kona, but had to go very slowly due to washer board ruts. Would recommend a stay and we plan to return. Be sure to bring the key codes on your reservation!

Road mob on the Arizona trail. Nice riding south.

I drive a Prius and was able to access Kentucky Camp without issue, although I opted to stay in place once I arrived versus traveling back and forth by car for day trips. I went towards the Abbey in the wrong direction, so I took a right at that junction. Otherwise, the signage is consistent and easy to navigate. The cabin features a number of items in the event you forgot to bring something or if you are packing light. Many folks travel by bike, horse, or foot on the Arizona Trail and come knocking thinking you are the camp host. The mice are a thing, but my dogs enjoyed chasing their sounds and sniffing their entry points. The pilot ignition button is found below the gas heater and quickly reignites to stay warm.
