Triangle T Ranch

We booked this park so we could be close to visit Tombstone, AZ. When we arrived, it was as if we had 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.

This is a MUST DO!!! Went here for a week for a friends birthday and what a fantastic time we all had! The staff were absolutely above and beyond nice and accomodating. From the first minute we drove onto the ranch it had the most incredible feel to it. Great way to turn back the clock to the old west. The casitas were very homey and all the amenities were there except a TV. But that's ok because there's so much to see and do, not only on the ranch, but also in the surrounding areas. Perfect location to relax and reconnect. To Mona, who manages the place, we never expected to feel so welcome but you made us feel like family from day 1. To Scott, best meals I've ever had sir! We'd come back just for your cooking! To Michelle, we never wanted for anything the whole time with you taking care of us! To Don, what a fantastic trail ride. All the extra info made it all that extra special. Not to mention the girls loved that they got to help with the horses. And to Nick, Thank you for allowing us all to be a part of your days. To all the staff , we hated having to leave and go back home and very much want to return asap. We all miss you!To all the people who left bad reviews in the past.... I'm wondering how the staff would've rated YOU.

We will definitely be back. Friendly people everywhere. Beauty everywhere you look. I enjoyed the hiking around the Ranch. The saloon made for a night of no cooking. I'd like to come back in the summer when every thing is green.

I was lucky enough to spend a week at the Triangle T while taking a tracking class last fall.The rooms are rustic and it's like taking a trip back in time.Two days of the course were dedicated to tracking on horseback in the Dragoon foothills and on foot through the Cochise Stronghold which is nearby.The horses are well cared for and I can't wait to come back and go riding again!Meals made for guests in the small kitchen were simple and good, but the best meals were served in the Rock Bar.Other onsite spots are the set from the original 3:10 to Yuma starring Glenn Ford made in the 1950s. Linda really takes care of this place and was attentive to everything we needed.I've loved the Dragoons since I was a child and love coming back to this area time and again. This little guest ranch is in the center of it all.

I debated about whether or not to post this review. My experiences here have been mixed. I've been out to Triangle T twice. Once to camp for a weekend and explore the surrounding area, and this past weekend for New Year's Eve. It must be said that the natural beauty of the Dragoons and Texas Canyon where the ranch is located is stunning. The granite boulders, tall grasses and oaks create a classic Arizona camping experience.That being said, the owners should be ashamed of themselves for the dinner that they served on New Year's eve. I paid $100 for my wife and I to eat the worst cut of prime rib I have ever tasted. Honestly, it was closer to shoe leather than meat. Everything, from the salad to the desert was absolute garbage. The meal was so bad we didn't want to stay until midnight, mainly because we were embarrassed. I felt like I had given a donation to the ranch because that dinner was worth $10 at a truckstop. Such a shame to let such a beautiful place suffer from such terrible service.

Beautiful setting, the true west, lovely casitas with refrigerators and ac and all amenities except tv. This is s great place to come with your horse or ride one of theirs. Very historic with many films and tv shows filmed here. Rich in history. Linda thee owner has greatly improved. I highly recommend a group of friends get together with your horses and ride here. I stayed in a casita and my horse in a small pen and he and I both happy. As a group you can arrange meals and menus . However can also make food in kitchen. This is also close to historic butterfield stage ruins as well as Cochise Stronghold. Huge improvements since I was last here. Very peaceful . It is a magical place

We arrived on a Wednesday, mid afternoon (5:30'ish), in an RV. The entrance into this ranch is very cool as it is surrounded by huge beautiful boulder formations. When you drive in they have signs of famous people who stayed here. The RV area is nestled in boulders. The sites are pretty level which is great. Each site has a picnic table, water, sewer and electric hookup. No cable. If you have Air TV you can pick up one english speaking station. Sigh.We were greeted by a staff member who said she would be in on Friday to take care of our check-in (we made reservations over the phone so they already had our CC info). Although she was very nice, there was no info on the ranch shared. No brochure of activities, meals, etc. She was leaving for the day so simply stopped by on her way to her car.After setting up, and knowing they had a restaurant/saloon on site, we walked up for dinner ~ or so we thought. Not a soul in site. We found a sign on the door saying the Saloon is open to "all guests" and open on the weekend to the public. Hmmm...are we not guests? We then walked over to the building with a sign "Dinning Hall" for breakfast. Still no one in site. So, we decided to Yelp a place for dinner in the nearest town.We woke up Thursday morning thinking we would see some activity. Nothing. The hubster Googled this ranch and discovered they were featured on Hotel Impossible season 2 episode 2. Supposedly, they changed some staff members and added a few activities. We made the decision to walk over to the office and let them know we would be moving on ~ unless they could change our minds.The owner of the Ranch was in the office so we chatted a bit and expressed our disappointment about our experience thus far. She apologized and handed me a brochure. Reading it later (when back in the RV) we discovered there was NO guest information, NO activity and NO meal information listed so the brochure is useless. We originally were told we could not ride until Friday. Knowing there was a 100% chance for rain, we asked if we could ride now. Yes, they had another scheduled ride, but she was able to get us in. Although it began to sprinkle we enjoyed the ride through the boulders with Wrangler Don who was very nice. Linda, the owner, asked if we would like to have dinner that evening to which we accepted. She also asked if she could join us which we thought was great. Later that afternoon we walked up to the Saloon thinking it would be open because it was around dinner time (we failed to get a dinner time from Linda). It was closed. We found several people in the parking lot thinking they too could enjoy dinner. I walked over toward the staff housing and found a gal sitting outside. She said she would open the saloon just before 6. Hmmm... Although the few staff members we came in contact with were nice, we found everything about our stay to be a bit strange. Odd if you will for a "Guest Ranch". There were 11 of us who expected dinner that night. We were offered two choices: Ribeye Steak or Chicken. Period. No menu in site. Most of us wound up sitting at the bar being served our dinners. My husband, I and a few others moved to a table. Linda never did join us. Dinner was OK. We had a lot of fat on our ribeye (we never order ribeye for this reason). Rain set in Thursday evening and continued through all day Friday. There was never a phone call, knock on the door, or flyer given stating "if you want breakfast/lunch/dinner you must call and let us know". The saloon and dinning room/hall remained closed UNTIL Saturday when they opened it with full menus to the public. At this point (Sat. morning) we made the decision to move on. It appears Triangle T Ranch can not decide if they want to focus on events or weddings or call themselves an RV park. A simple folder or flyer handout to guests upon registering explaining options would go a long way.Amenities for RVers;Amenities for guests staying in our Casitas.Meals are on a schedule basis only. etc.For the same price per night just up the road we had so many more options/amenities etc. Wish we would have moved on sooner than we did.

I visited The Triangle T for the first time during the annual Garlic Festival. Explored the grounds and ate at the restaurant/saloon. It's an historic ranch having been built in 1922 and many famous dignitaries, such as President John Kennedy, have stayed there. They offer horseback riding and other activities you'd find at a ranch. It's set in the beautiful Texas Canyon right off I-10.I'm including this ranch on my Arizona Treasures list because of its historical significance and because its an important offering of the Arizona ranch experience for native Arizonans and all our visitors to Southern Arizona.

Ranch is run down, poorly maintained. Ran out of running water for 2 days. There is no well to supply water, they have to use a truck to get water from an old mine that fills with water and then fill tanks on there site. This system of water supply is not dependable nor sustainable. Extremely Over priced for a 3rd world ranch. The same excuse for all the issues"Ranch is over 100 years old". The pool is not useable water is a green. The chef was the only good thing about this place.

The one this this place has is an amazing setting for hiking and horseback riding. Other than that, I cannot recommend. They are short staffed, and many buildings and facilities are in disrepair. The showers and bathrooms were not operational and were locked. The only facilities available were two very old porta potties. This may have been amazing in its day, but it has certainly fallen into dire condition. The saloon is fun, but only available for a couple of hours at night. We made reservations for dinner but arrived to find the place closed down. When we contacted the manager, she said they had forgotten our reservation and could not accommodate. All in all, beautiful location, poorly run and in bad shape. Don't let the website fool you.
