Vintage aluminum glamper in an 11-acre desert art sanctuary by Saguaro National Park, 35 mins from downtown Tucson! Enjoy desert peace, efficient WiFi, AC, and heating. Please note: while private, it sits 15 yards from our other rental, Time Capsule. Features an outdoor bathroom deck & eco-amenities. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Before booking, note that check-in is strictly in person and no later than 10:00 PM. No exceptions! The space Welcome to the Groovy Glamper! We have completely renovated this beautiful, vintage aluminum Boles camper with a vibrant, colorful theme. Your private shower, sink, and dry compost toilet are located just outside, attached to the camper on a wrap-around, elevated circular deck. Our property is a unique desert art space called "The Island In Tucson" (feel free to look up our website under the same name to learn more about our project!). For your peace of mind, the entire property is fenced and monitored by security cameras that we will show you during your check-in. Layout & PrivacyTraveling with a group? The Groovy Glamper sits 15 yards away from our other Airbnb guesthouse, the Time Capsule. You can rent both spaces together if you are traveling with friends or family. Need assistance? Our main house is located 140 yards away. We are close enough to help with any specific needs, but far enough to guarantee your absolute privacy. Eco-Friendly Living: We deeply love and respect our desert sanctuary, so we ask our guests to join us in practicing sustainability. Eco-Amenities: We provide plant-based body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and dish soap. Water Conservation: Graywater from your shower and sink feeds the surrounding trees via an underground drain system. Because water is scarce in the desert, we utilize dry compost toilets. They are incredibly easy to use, and we will happily walk you through the simple, hassle-free steps when you arrive. Drinkable Water: Our water supply is a blend of hauled community well water and harvested rainwater. It is fully purified by a UV filter system that kills 99% of germs, making it completely safe to drink. Kitchen Setup: Please note that while we provide everything you need to prepare meals—including a microwave, portable hot plate with pans, charcoal grill, kettle, and a French press coffee maker—there is no dedicated indoor kitchen. This experience is truly the definition of glamorous camping! Guest access Finding Us: Access the property directly from Rudasill Road. The entrance features a sign with the number 12074. Driveway & Parking: The driveway is dirt but easily accessible by any vehicle. Once you cross the gate, pull into the parking area on your left, which is marked by a "Guesthouse Parking" sign. In-Person Greeting: Olivier or Emily will meet you in the parking lot to welcome you and guide you to the glamper. The Walk: Cars are not permitted past the parking area. Expect a beautiful 50-yard walk through the desert with your luggage to reach your retreat! Other things to note We live in a beautiful semi-rural environment. While our neighbor’s fence is close, their house is several hundred yards away, so you may occasionally hear roosters and dogs barking in the distance, as well as coyotes. Additionally, our outdoor motion-detection lights may turn on at night due to local wildlife passing through.
