Thank you for all the memories. We have decided to close our ranch to the general public to focus on other adventures. We thank each guest for their support in staying with us!
Our guests have sent us an Instagram video about their meteor shower experience that you can watch here:

Are you interested in finding incredible dark skies to see the upcoming meteor showers? We have night skies that are perfect to view as we share the same skies as Kitt Peak, a United States astronomical observatory located on Kitt Peak of the Quinlan Mountains in the Arizona-Sonoran Desert.

We wanted to share that J&J Ranch AZ runs entirely on Green Energy. We have had a few questions about how we utilize our energy, which we achieve through our solar panels that provide all our electrical needs, by harvesting water, and utilizing three different filtration systems.
Our Cabins will also use Solar power for the Air Conditioning/Heating and recharging of our portable power stations with collected rainwater for any water needs.
We also wanted to let everyone know that we depend on Mother Nature to provide us with the energy we need for everything to function. We can not foresee pending cloudy days that might limit the amount of charges the batteries can hold.

Update: Our Cabins are now available.
They will include a pull-out bed, kitchen area with sink, compact refrigerator/freezer(complimentary bag of ice), AC/Heat, Power Stations to recharge devices, Propane BBQ for outdoor cooking, and an outdoor shower/restroom facility.

We just received our first official video review from James and Paul Rv Adventures and are very excited to share this with everyone.
This can give more details about what a stay at our ranch would be like.
Thank you, James and Paul!
P.S. They have updated their description in the video link to include our property as 18.5 acres instead of 8.

We are very excited to announce that we will be working with Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society.
The Tucson Cactus & Succulent Society, Inc. (TCSS) is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3)tax-exempt organization dedicated to education, information, conservation, and discoveries about cacti and succulent plants. They will be at J & J Ranch Az on April 18th to rescue 100s cacti along our 2-mile driveway before we do our yearly road improvements. Some of the plants they will be saving include Ocotillos, Hedgehog Cactus, Shin Dagger Agaves (Agave lechuguilla), and Limberbush to name a few. The rescued plants will be transplanted in the Pima Prickly Park; some will go home with volunteers, and the rest will be sold at their plant sales. If you would be interested in participating, please see the link below.
For those of us who live in Tucson and the surrounding area, we know how expensive cacti are in the nurseries. Still, by joining the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society ($ 20-year membership for a family) and participating in the rescue, you could go home with an Ocotillo up to 6 feet for only $8 a tag fee.
