I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Have you ever visited the Sky Islands of Southern Arizona? These small isolated mountain ranges have peaks upwards of 6,000 feet of elevation creating quite a contrast to the lowlands they tower above. They are also home to diverse flora and fauna that aren’t found in other parts of the state. If this is a part of the state you’ve never visited before and you’re curious to explore, you must spend some time at Ravens Nest Nature Sanctuary. Not only is it an incredible place to explore but it offers the best unique campground near Patagonia, Arizona. In fact, it’s one of the best campgrounds in the state!
The Sky Islands of southeastern Arizona are remarkable natural wonders. The isolated mountain ranges tower above the desert landscape and are unique in the way that the ecosystems on the mountains are different than what you find in the lowlands that surround them.
One place you can visit within the Sky Islands is Raven's Nest Nature Sanctuary. This private 42-acre sanctuary is remote and scenic, and an extraordinary place to view flora and fauna on a hike.
For a more immersive experience, Raven's Nest Nature Sanctuary offers glamping. Sky Islands Glamping at the sanctuary offers safari tents for the ultimate eco-friendly glamping experience.
There are only two African-style safari tents at the sanctuary -- the Ocelot Camp and the Jaguar Camp. Each spacious tent is 20 feet long by 14 feet wide and has screen doors to keep out the wildlife while allowing in fresh air.
The tents were built under strict eco-friendly guidelines.
Guests can look forward to a comfortable night's sleep on a Sleep Number bed. Each tent also has a deck for you to spend time outdoors as well as a hammock.
There are also private bathrooms with outdoor showers and indoor and outdoor dining and lounging areas nearby. You can also grab beverages and snacks at the on-site Coati Cafe.
One thing's for certain -- if you spend the night at Sky Islands Glamping, it will be one of the most unique and memorable glamping experiences you could have in Arizona!
