We booked this park so we could be close to visit Tombstone, AZ. When we arrived, it was as if we…read morehad entered a different world. As we drove toward Dragoon, all of a sudden the scenery shifted to one of a bouldered landscape. Each rock as if it had been picked up by a giant and then gently balanced on top of another. It was surreal and reminded us of a movie set from Lost in Space. Come to find out, it was the site of a filming of the 1957 movie "3:10 to Yuma." This is a Dude Ranch with several amenities. We chose a site with water and electric only, but there are other sites with full hook-ups. There is a pristine "COLD" water pool and a full restaurant and bar that is open only during peak seasons. There is free WiFi, bunkhouse "motel" rooms, casitas and cottages as well. To call this place "other-worldly" would be close, but it was absolutely magical. So dark at night, you could actually see the Milky Way and peer into a universe far far away. Luminaries such as President John F. Kennedy, General John J. Pershing, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and others have visited and stayed at this unique location. Our only wish was that we had more than just an overnighted. We'd definitely like to return.

Where to start? Found the place quite by chance when I was mapping out a route and looking for the…read morehalfway point to park the RV for a few days - between Las Cruces NM and Tucson AZ. What a treasure! When I called ahead to book a camp spot for the RV, I was welcomed by Mona, the heartbeat of the Triangle T! Gracious, full of character and charm, with amazing stamina and energy. I'll let you ask her age when you get here! The next day - within a very short time of our arrival, we were made to feel like family - not only by Mona but every member of the staff we encountered. Growing up in the 1950s, it was all about Cowboys and Indians. Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, John Wayne...names that greeted us on the small signposts along the entry road. The signature boulder landscape was absolutely remarkable - creating the kind of ambiance that Disney works hard to recreate! Had I been here before? You bet - every time I went to a Saturday Matinee at the Avenue Theatre in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, I was here! Had I died at an early age, I am sure this is what heaven would have looked like - compete with horses - led down a well-worn trail by a grizzled old wrangler - a man of few words - only spoke when necessary! We opted for dinner in the Rock Saloon - while the rest of the world seems to be able to steak or eat ribs for dinner, at my advanced age, I am resigned to chicken or fish. This had to be the best almond-crusted chicken breast to which I'd ever taken a fork. Like other guests, we were forwarned to let Mona know earlier in the day - should we plan to dine at the Rock Saloon. Over dinner, we were joined by another guest and Kevin, the local mechanical wizard that kept everything running around the ranch. He too had come to the place months before and was shocked to find this 'well-kept secret'. Mostly he is there because he likes to be there - not an uncommon thread amongst the staff at the Triangle T! Linda Kelly, the owner of the place is easily one of the ranch's greatest fans! She truly has her heart and soul in the place. A 'stand-out' member of the cast is Thomas - a gangly 'roustabout' who manages the 'ranchy issues' like road maintenance, mending fences, etc., etc. Points to the rattlesnake band on his well-worn cowboy hat and exclaims....."Yup - killed him m'self with a knife, skinned him out, turned him into dinner one night, and made a hat band outta him!" You really can't make this stuff up folks! If you and your family are looking for somewhere to be, this place is steeped in early history as the wintering place of Cochise and the Chirichua Apaches, later history as the kind of guest ranch that would attract the likes of the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, and the Kennedys. During WW2, it was a top-secret detainment camp for the Japanese diplomats and spies that engineered the attack on Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941 - the day that still lives in infamy! Following the war, due to its unique natural beauty, it became a haven for Hollywood Westerns and hosted many of the legendary actors of the silver screen including Roy Rogers & Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Rex Allen, John Wayne, The Lone Ranger & Tonto, Glenn Ford, Ronald Ragan and later Gene Hackman! Today, it is being restored by a group of dedicated people who host several events throughout the year - and provide a fabulous experience to anyone who might be looking for a halfway point between Las Cruces and Tucson!

If you're a trucker or traveling with one, avoid this Pilot in Tucson…read more I was with my boyfriend when an employee named Isaac came up to him out of nowhere and told him he had to leave , with zero explanation. No warning, no conversation, nothing. Just attitude and rudeness like he owned the place. When my boyfriend calmly asked why, Isaac kept repeating "because I said so." That is not how you treat customers, especially people who come in every day on long hauls. We both felt uncomfortable and disrespected, and the fact that nobody else stepped in to explain anything made it even worse. If this is how they handle guests, I'm honestly shocked the place is still running. Pilot needs to retrain their staff immediately because this was embarrassing, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary.

The bad: 1) the coffee machine didn't work and had to be replaced 2) only left one packet of coffee the first day 3) the refrigerator did not work and I lost about $60 worth of food 4) "room service" means going down to the 2nd floor restaurant and ordering in person (there is only an answering machine for taking orders-- I was on the 7th (top floor) 4) for parking you have to go back out to the lot and place a placard on your dash after you have checked in (rather than them taking your license plate number and checking that way), 5) check out is 10am, but check in is not until 4pm. I tried calling for an early check in and I couldn't understand the person who answered and the process was taking waaaay to long so I had to hang up before completing the call 6) I look for an ice machine room for 10 minutes, only to discover one behind and unmarked door. the light was off and another door inside was open to an abandoned room. bizarre. 7) on the third day I was gone from 8am to 7pm. upon returning, the housekeepers were JUST getting to my room at 7pm. I called down to the front desk and the response was that they had over 100 checkouts from the RenFair Conference that had been held there. Not sure what that has to do with housekeeping unless ALL of those rooms were being turned over for new guests on a Sunday? The hotel is otherwise almost empty-- like a ghost town. Wouldn't you start with the rooms where new people were going to be checking in or staying on? This is not the housekeepers fault, this is management. This location is VASTLY understaffed. More money should be spent on hiring more personnel.

The room and hotel are definitely tired and run down. Bed was not comfortable and horrible water pressure. Spots of ??? all over the carpet and walls. But the main reason I won't stay there again is because they charge $15 per night for parking. I was told they didn't charge for it anymore but they still do. When I asked about it she said they had a security guard all night in the parking lot. I went to my vehicle twice after dark and never saw a security guard. I even hung around outside waiting to see someone walking around and nothing. So I'm assuming it's just another income stream. A group I belong to used to meet there monthly but the food was going down every month and the rates were going up. So we went elsewhere. Sadly it used to be one of the nicer hotels in Tucson. Will we stay there again? No.

They offer free breakfast daily starting at 6am. They had your typical muffins, cinnamon rolls, bagels, fruit, yogurts, milk, etc. Overall, it was an okay place to rest our heads on a road trip but I felt like I paid too much for a sub par hotel.

The owners are kind and helpful, which always makes a difference.
