Kentucky Camp
Nestled in the scenic Santa Rita Mountains near Sonoita, Kentucky Camp consists of five adobe buildings: the headquarters, two cabins, the assay office and the remains of a barn. A small cabin and headquarters building have been restored for public use in the “Rooms with a View” program. One of the charms of the site is the evening quiet and dark night sky. The two buildings are located within 100 yards of each other, so to preserve the privacy and tranquility of the visitor experience, guests renting the headquarters for day use automatically have use of the cabin the night before and the night of the day use. A caretaker is usually available on site to greet the public and answer questions. However, this is a volunteer position and the caretaker may not be there at all times.
