Naco, AZ

Has anyone stayed here. We absolutely love the high desert and I love the fact I can play golf while camping. Saw this place and thought it kinda fit the bill.
  • Tourquoise Valley Golf course is the best course within 100 miles.

    Play it weekly

    Hole #15 "The Rattler" is a 746 yard par 6

    when we visited Naco, Sonora, january 2012, it was a sleepy little town with little or no gringo amenity. Customs house was quiet. The american customs agent there gave us good directions to a good place for lunch. Exchange rates for $ to Pesos with the proprietor took some fun time. We made sure she came out on top.
    It did have a very long border wall with many border patrol agents about. We enjoyed the lack of englais border sales people.
    I doubt it is as peaceful or as safe today.


    I can assure you nothing has changed for the worse!

  • The park is right next to the Mexican entry point - not a safety concern but you'll have lights at night and vehicle traffic. There's also not a big grocery nearby so plan ahead. If you were planning to spend the winter there, I would recommend staying a few days first to see how it like it for long-term. There are also good, clean dentists right across the border for reasonable prices.
  • Can snow in the winter but does not last long. Weather the rest of the year is very comfortable. Beautiful area with lots to do.
