- čas přidán 3. 07. 2024
- Today we meet Jim and his wife Michelle, owners of Caballo Loco Ranch RV Park near Tucson, Arizona. I have to tell you that this is one of the most beautiful locations for an RV Park I have ever seen, and probably the very best deal on an RV Park anywhere in the country right now. If you are looking for a very inexpensive (but beautiful) place to camp for multiple months of the year, or even for the entire year, this is the place to go! Best of all, you can lease a full-hookup site in your RV, or camp in a car, van or even a tent-EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!!

Thanks for watching!
This man has made a huge effort for his community. Wishing him all the best!
Wish there were more people like this.
yes cause with all the places you cant go part of the year this would be nice to have in every state just awesome
If only there were more states that ALLOW this sort of thing. We have property and our local govt (tri-county gestapo) won't allow it. Well, they will but they require upgrades that are close to a million dollars, no dry camping...it is crazy!
Yes...I'm stuck in South Florida caring for last parent and property and rentals are dire and rents gone insane,I'm scared..usa is in trouble they sold us out quickly....imagine...
I believe you get an allodial title and record it publicly and the coade enforcement and every and any other law enforcement have no jurisdiction over your property.
It’s nice to see a businessman who isn’t greedy and truly cares about his customers! We need more RV park owners like him.
I agree.
I've lived there
It's bs...trust me.....it sounded great to me....until I lived there
These people are wolves in sheeps clothing
@@shelbymorgan9484 yup this video is a complete ruse ,wolves in sheep clothing.bob you are promoting a bad bunch.
Jim and Michelle are the people we should all strive to be.
I really appreciate all that Jim an Mary are doing for Folks.It’s wonderful when people work with their HEART.Thank you so much.
Sounds like a wonderful place to live. I don’t think I could handle the summer though. I’d have to head for North Dakota before it got too hot. Dang-it.
No integrity ,think again
Arrive December 31st, 700 p.m. no staff. Another camper told me to park at the office and someone would help me o the next day. I was then invited to the new year party. Stayed he month of January, wonderful people. Thanks
I love this place. This is my new retirement plan!! Please don't ever sell it, but if you do stipulate it can never change!! Thank you for building this community!
Me, too! I saw the original video from a couple of years ago and my first thought was that was going to be my retirement plan. I already live in that general region and have been living in the very rural desert for most of the last 30 years, so it wouldn't too big an adjustment for me, plus it would fit my very modest retirement income. Hopefully, if and when these folks retire they can hand it off to people with the same humanitarian spirit.
Well said... .I'd love to retire there as well.. I'd just have to talk my husband into it.
@@freefoodchef79396 ťt⅚ty 5
When he says you need to be self contained for dry camping does that mean you need your own bathroom ?
@@MrBillkaz no you have access to all of that in the shower house
Just wow! Thank God for people that run that Ranch. We need more like them on Earth. I’m a nurse and still work 40hrs a week. I’m 55 years old, but I’m hoping to reach retirement and not keep working that many hours until I die. I’m hoping to find a community like this, or maybe this will be the place that I will call home. Blessings to you all and Bob!
The fact that you provide a service for poor people is amazing.
Michelle did a great job with paint and decorating! Thanks to both of you for providing nomads a safe and affordable place!
Bob this sounds like an ideal kind of place especially who has only a minimum amount of money and it’s affordable for most seniors or very low income folks who don’t need big cities!👍
Wish I knew about this place a year ago friend could have lived there. I found him a small trailer we couldn't find an RV park he could afford he was living in his car at a Walmart and using the trailer for a few hours a day at a RV storage place. They kept raising the rates and his situation got worse he got very depressed. Unfortunately, he didn't get along with my wife we live in a very small house. One day last march I went to his trailer found him dead he took his own life. I didn't know about your channel I would have directed him to your videos. Your videos are great anyone who is homeless living in a car can learn from them maybe buy a small RV, or van find happiness that's what it's all about. Thanks for making these videos and I hope someone else can learn from them.
Jim, Michelle and Bob, you walk the talk, you rock! Showing people what is possible is so important!
I spoke to Jim 2 years ago by phone and he came across then as pleasant and big-hearted as he does on this video update. Good luck and Godspeed Jim maybe I will meet you in person someday.
Wow! Paradise! I'm sure, the with the cost of fuel, this is truly a community of of people who are helping each other & helping the owner. Having an on site fire dept is amazing! Also having all that natural Peace surrounding you everyday is a mental health break from the rest of the world! I love the fact you can come and go WITHOUT your rig and NOT worry about it??!! Where do you find that?? Great spot to live life abundantly on a small budget!
They need solar panels, lithium batteries and a windmills. Charge a fee set aside for alternative fuel sources, to the less than full timers. It's an investment for the future.
@@twofathoms1 I agree…there is energy that can be made using Mylar silver material which turns water into steam energy and that cheaper than panels. … if I only have the knowledge.
I would love to stay a few months. I just have to get a perfect setup. I have to keep this in mind.
@@tomhorn2937 Ans: Wind.
Great video, Bob! Another inexpensive place people may want to look at living is the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas. Hundreds of RV parks offering the same type of community at affordable prices. My husband and I live in Tropic Winds RV Park, Harlingen, TX for about $260/month (year round rate). And we're not the cheapest RV park. Includes wifi, cable tv, water, sewer, trash, yard maintenance. Just have to pay electric. Plus there's a pool, hot tub, club house with library and puzzle table, new gym, ping pong tables, pool tables, dances, other entertainment and activities. Less than an hour's drive to Mexico for cheap dental and prescription drugs, as well as the Gulf of Mexico (South Padre Island) for beach lovers. Our park is out in the cornfields, but 5 minutes to town for restaurants, hospitals, groceries, etc. Many snowbirds as well as full-time residents. This park isn't good for dry campers, but others in the area may accommodate them.
Thanks for the information 👍
😮
Thats a 55+ park
@@FrankBullitt390 Yes, but lots of the parks in the area are not strict. And by law, they have to accept a certain percentage of younger people to avoid being discriminatory. Just no children (except grandkids are allowed 2 weeks a year).
I'm new. What does "dry campers" mean? Is this people who don't drink alcohol?
I remember the other video
Nice to see them again
We need more places like this everywhere. Not everyone (especially me) wants to live in the heat or the desert. Such amazing people. I wish them lots of success.
What a awesome couple, so glad to see a non greedy business owner... what a blessed couple. We need more people like them. 👍💖🙏👍💖
It's beautiful here and everyone takes care of our living spaces and the desert. Everyone's nice and helpful. There is always something going on here. It's a wonderful community with a strong bond. Looking forward to my years here! Thank You So Much for Everything you do Jim and Michelle.
thank you for posting! i was hoping to hear from some of the residents.
Amazing find ! Thank you very much. All of you. Hope it’s available for me when I’m ready. Been thinking about selling out and buying a camper. Retired last year but early so don’t have much money but feel life is to short to not be happy 👍🏻✌🏻
I've never been here, but the first time I saw Bob and Jim's video, I fell hard for this place. If I never fulfill any of my bucket list items, the one place I want to head is here. My husband liked the idea too.
These people lack integrity ,this video is a complete ruse ,major fail on bobs part to promote this buisiness
I am a young senior from Canada and would love to live here.
Bob I watched this video 2 years ago and thought I could live here. Jim and Michelle, you have made Caballo Loco Ranch an oasis desert home which I would love to be part of. Shelley has added a touch of flair as well.
Your goodwill and kind heart has created a combination of a feeling of community and liberty and freedom. This constitutes the tenants of the Good Life.
Absolutely beautiful and charming.
🌵🏠🌵🌞🌵
Big hello and 💗 to Bob Wells and crew who supply us with stepping stones to our possible futures.
🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟
Hey, Mary, be aware that Canadians can only spend four months in the states without losing a good portion of their pension. Also, we now need a passport to cross the border.
But this does seem like a very nice place to visit. :)

About the same time this video was recorded I stayed at caballo, I only signed up for a weeks stay because of the weather, it was sunny, but the wind & cold air was disturbing. When it warmed & the wind died down some daily, I decided to pay for a years stay, but was told that they had a rule that you had to be self contained or you couldn't stay there. They have two buildings with toilets & showers, two dump sites for waste, & a fresh water supply outlet. I have 21 gallons of fresh water, a 1800 watt jackery solar generator with 400 watts of solar panel, & a 1800 watt gas generator for electrical backup. I met many people there who went out of their way to make me feel welcome & wanted & needed, but was turned away because I didn't have a holding tank for black & gray water. I was very disappointed after traveling 1400 miles for the experience.
In the first video , the owner said van dwellers were welcome. Not anymore I guess ,even though they have bathrooms,showers.
Just as well ,the owners lie
AWESOME FOLKS!!!!😍😍😍 Too bad there aren't other parks that just let people have their space and don't just pack em in and charge high rates!!!! Hopefully one day I get there!!! All the best from Canada, TAKE CARE BOB!!!😎😎😎
Thank you folks for sharing your property so there’s a community for nomads
I'm an over er the road truck driver. My wife travels with me always. I've been looking for something like this for years. I have a 93 model holiday rambler camper with a large solar power system. I pull it with a 2012 dodge1500. I'm looking forward to coming to this community if they will have us. It would be great to have this as our community
He looks younger than when you met him two years ago. What lovely people.
I hope this community is able to maintain this standard. God Bless!!
You are all bringing hope to so many! Thank you for your work and service.
Bob I'm happy to see you back at the ranch .I fell in love with that place in your 1st video and I plan on making it my future home when I become a nomad in the summer of 23 . Jim and his wife are wonderful people .I just hope that they have full hook up for me .It sounds like your 1st video helped them out tremendously.
What a terrific spirit of community and service to humanity - it is incredibly inspiring. Live well Jim and Michelle; thank you for what you do!
If more small business owners could reflect his doctrine/values, the world would be a better place ! Thanks Jim & Michelle & Bob for promoting such a genuine couple & their venture !
Exactly 👍👍👍👍👍
I love this couple, Jim and Michelle seems so humble and genuine. I wish I was able to get my van in time so I could get a place there. Maybe when I ready to go a place will be open. 🤞
Sounds ideal! If Bob is promoting it it’s the real deal!
Great job by Jim and Michelle and thank you Bob for helping with this project! We need affordable camping parks like this one. Take care and safe travels to all.
Jim, you're a wonderful person. Thank you for giving a wonderful home to your tenants.
As a pro drummer for forty yrs..just the fact I see a kit makes me want to go there! I miss gigging and for sure playing daily.
Most of that equipment is gone. The person who owned much of it was “pushed” out and knew his lease was not being renewed. He left early and did not get any money back.
This is exactly what my teenage son and I need and what I've wanted for years. A community exactly as described, Especially Now, in these insane times and Now, in my personal life. I will very likely be contacting you tomorrow! So random I came across this video! Are there other families with kids and teens?!
How'd that go? Ready to start a community with children?
You two are amazing.. Thank you so much for providing a community for nomads.. I hope to head out that way soon. 🥰. It sounds like and looks like heaven..thank you Bob for doing and sharing this video..❤
This place is rough Nature zin.
Jim is honest, and real.
I love it here.
It's not for the fu fu.
I spent two hours today on top of a mountain, saw no one. Listened to smart phone classic rock, downed couple brews
Loved this day!
Jim built a cummunity centered around helping people and its worked out great and i wish i had the means to get a vehicle i could live in and move out to the ranch. I am on SSI and disability and in san diego i barely can afford for and rent. Thanks so much for this update video.
I love this. I’ve always wanted to set up a community very similar to this type of living.
Maybe put together info how to create a community like this in other parts of the country… I’m starting from scratch.
I’m going to. I was thinking about down in Baja but seeing this made me rethink.. Maybe a lil place like this in AZ or NM ❤️
This does sound nice no mention of internet service or cell phone service that would be interesting to note especially living that remotely also 8 miles down a dirt road and another maybe 18 miles to the closest place or 45 miles from Tucson that's a long ways to be from any services considering the price of gas because there's always grocery shopping supplies medical appointments etc that seems to be a big downside and if diesel does get higher it's going to be very hard to live there year-round when you need air conditioning in that type of heat it is an admirable that he is doing this and offering this as a service to the community
I might see it a little differently. For what you save on rent, you can afford the gas to town. The desert cools off at night if you aren't in a paved area. Starting around 8pm it cools down. When I lived on the desert, we opened windows at 4am to 5:30am. Rarely did I need heat. It cools off the inside. You might not want to be in an RV May to October but you can go up in altitude to find cooler areas. You won't need any climate control October to May. That's 8 months no heat/no ac No humidity except during monsoon seasons (Dec and July) means you are comfy to 90 degrees. Can use evaporative cooling by wetting a sheet and letting it dry in your space.
Living there in an RV with little or no AC during the summer could be deadly. Too hot even for your propane refrigerator to work. Winter at night is easily in the 30's. I lived at 2200 feet altitude near there & one winter night hit low of 15° at a time before we got heat in our house. Outside pipes froze & then burst.
Town are dying all over the world and this gentleman made his own. How amazing!
❤❤❤❤❤ greed is s plague. Thanks for the kindness towards humanity
What a Great couple. No Gold diggers. Just Humble down to earth People. God Bless them. Good Vibes 👣
This will go down in history as one of the best . Thanks so much.
Amazing concept !...
Living where I live, I've often wondered if it were possible to start a community that is cohesive, law abiding, and peaceful. I'm thoroughly impressed. You're great people to offer reasonable rates with a community gathering....the brakes screeched in my head when he said 105°....😳...I'm afraid that's the only thing keeping me from looking into this. I don't do well in hot weather. 40-80 is my comfort zone. Much respect to you for having /living in such a great community. Best wishes ❤
Our Board if Supervisors won’t allow these types of developments because land prices here are insanely high-they want maximum $$ to fund their pensions. A community like this should exist in every town. We ate sorely lacking in affordable housing for seniors on limited incomes. Thanks for featuring Jim and his wife and their beautifully maintained park. ❤️
where?
That is so true. I live in a RV community that was started when my city was a outlying area with dirt roads. Now the prices for property are going crazy so another community like this will never be built. The city council would love to have this property and rezone it for commercial to get the big tax dollars.
We need more community's like this!!!
Love the idea of community and everyone looking out for each other . Thank You All
I can’t believe that’s a thing. I was born into a generation where no one cares. My grandma used to tell me stories about people being nicer in the past and caring for each other.
I was born too late. I belong to the 1900’s
Hi, Bob,
Thanks for this info. I can’t believe they actually have quarter to half acre lots. You could move a tiny house on wheels into a lot like that and live very comfortably.
Whatever happened to the Coyote Howls campground in Ajo, Arizona? As I recall that was only $550 a year for a normal size campground site with a storage shed, but no hook ups whatsoever. I think they would also take care of your mail all year, so if you don’t need hook ups or a bigger site, that might be a good deal if it’s still available.
Thanks for all you do.
Would love it if you could pick his brains on how he got permission to set it up like that. I recently started paying for land and will be done paying in 5 and a half years give or take. I would love to be able to use some of the land for noble causes like this. Forming a network of land owners and new owners paying for land and teaching them how to do it will help our elderly and poor communities a whole lot. Ty..
Where did you buy your land? I'm looking. Had planned to pay cash but after all I had to do to change my life and buy my minivan cash, I will be doing terms too because I want to acquire a parcel ASAP.
Amazing and amazing human beings! Take a lesson to the out of reach campground owners! God bless these two and their “community “!
Wish everyone felt about life as this couple, what a happier world we'd live in! 💕✌️
I am waiting for my old cat to pass away and then I hit the road. I 'hope' there will be space for me when that time comes. Jim is a great man and I'd like to meet him face to face to tell him so.
you must try rivers edge campground in holt fl.lots are 305.00 for smaller lot and 335.00 for prime lots plus elec,i am here 9 months and elec stays around 50.00 dollars monthly +or- trees river mostly full timers. check it out, may be a wait list but worth it.
Thanks for the recommendation
Thats awesome. Nice to see there are still a couple good souls left
I remember the first part of this, the owner is so wonderful. God bless him.
A absolutely love this couple and what they are doing. I will be in contact very soon. Want to join this community. I feel at home already and can't wait to meet everyone. Will show my wife this video tomorrow. We are nearing retirement age and this is where I'd like to live. Thank you all so much. I needed to find something like this and Bob comes through once again.✌💟💯
Thanks very much for the update. I wish there were more places like this.
I wonder if the owners have thought about trying to install solar and/or wind turbines, instead of running a diesel generator.
What a great guy. The real deal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It is good to know there are people still in the USA that are genuinely caring and want to share what they have with others. May God continue to bless you ❤️
Let’s take good care of these good folks when we visit their unique campground. 💝
It looks amazing bob. I think this is an ideal place to stay. Keep going bob, I love watching you. So honest and true
Wow!! What a great story. I wish there were more places (and people) like this in the world. So glad I found the CheapRVliving CZcams channel and am able to meet the nomadic people through this medium and follow along with their stories and experiences. It is my plan to be live the nomadic lifestyle when I retire and I hope a place like Caballo Loco Ranch is still available to visit and spend some time with some obvious genuine and authentic people. Would love to see more stories about the people that live/visit there and what makes it so special to them. Thank you again for your content and see you on the road someday soon.
So refreshing to see this good way of living created by good people. Thanks for sharing.
Love the strong sense of community.
Isn't it refreshing to find people in this world who are not out to make as much money as they can off of others. What's happened in America is that big corporations want to squeeze as much out of the middle/poor class as they can. Don't get me wrong, I'm a capitalist, but that doesn't mean you milk the crap out of everyday people just to make the most you can. All the best happiness to these folks. They really deserve it with their attitude toward their fellow residents of this world.
This is what I need when I'm ready. A place to rent for a great price and around the area I'd like to maybe move to. I live in Massachusetts and hate the cold. I have been over there in the past and loved it but it was a quick drive through.
Seems like a solar system there would be ideal to supply electric for day time extended electrical hours.
People can provide their own solar if they choose. If the ranch owner supplies it, his costs goes up which means his rates goes up.
I'm trying to start this before summer is over. I'm CABALLO LOCO bound, thanks to Bob and CheapRVliving. Bless!
Bob this is what we need all over the country both countries, USA and Canada. We need spots like this that Nomads can stay at. It would be an amazing group of communities where Nomads can live without the threat of losing their homes. If we had a number of these campgrounds then the Nomads could move around and possibly the owners could stay in contact with each other for scheduling. God bless this couple.
Awesome video Bob ,what an incredible find, Jim and Michelle are what’s good in this day of the world in terrible shape,love and peace from Brisbane Down under
This place is awesome! They should look into installing solar to replace the diesel generator. Might be cheaper in the long run.
Peaceful nice people down to earth and the price is not bad for retired person this is a good place to be friendly I like that peaceful people thank you God bless you I like the way people helping each other
What a beautiful location..
Let's see what my future holds...I think even a night or week here and there would be medicinal.
You guys are doing good for folks
Why aren't there places like this EVERYWHERE?? I will be retiring within a few years and I'd love something like this. What wonderful people. ♥️
What a wonderful life philosophy. Less greed, more love and care. ❤
I need this in my life. I'm on disability after working my ass off for 40yrs but as a single mother w/no $ from baby daddy I was unable to save so now I'm living in my 2008 travel trailer which I dint mind and my rent is pretty cheap ($325+elec) but with fuel prices etc I'm starting to worry how long what I have stashed will last. At 62 it's a scary thought. I really need to be there 😁. It dies look like a REALLY old school community !!
I have a boondocking lot Year round.
I use it as a get away from my Gilbert Az. home.
It is a Paradise if you love Nature.
Jim, management, and residents are amazing.
What terrific people...humble and caring. Doing something they love that is very much needed.
what wonderful people. It's just lovely what they have done. The place does look inviting and homey. thanks Bob, Jim, and Michelle!
I loved the first video about this wonderful park and the second one continues to foster happy thoughts of honest, kindhearted and generous people who aren’t living their lives to price gouge others for money.
It gives me hope, in the back of my mind, that THERE IS a (utopia) to escape to.
God bless you all…!
Much love for all involved in this! ❤️
What a wonderful community!
Oh I bet the Christmas parade is loads of fun! Thanks for the follow up.
Thanks for the video Bob. LIfe would be so much better and less stressful if we had more people and places like this.
That Park has grabbed my heart. I'd love to live and participate there.
Setting one of the best examples a person can provide. A big big BRAVO to Jim & Michelle and to Bob for finding places like these. Best of Good Luck and Good Health to all of you ; - )
What a wonderful couple....in this day and age, it's all about the bottom dollar, but to these 2 kind souls, it's all about PEOPLE.. so heartwarming to see....bless their hearts and may GOD bring them all the happiness they give to others for a long time...if I was in that area, I would LOVE to be right there. It's a lot of work, and it seems they have it all down to a science... beautiful place, beautiful people....thanks for this video, BOB!!! hope all is well with you...❤
Awesome! Thank you so much for what you do, and thanks to the folks providing this ranch.
This is so awesome! Thank you for making this kind of space. Blessings!
What a great update on this wonderful community ♥️🧡
How wonderful! God bless these wonderful people. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much for the updated interview. So good!!! 🥰
Sounds like a wonderful place. Thank you both for all you do for others. Bless you.
I just came across this and I am so excited 😆I will be finally getting my camper van as my ss has been approved,am ready to live for myself, thank you for sharing 🙏this
What a beautiful camp. Thank you so much Bob. I love this place.
