What we found: The Nature Conservancy explicitly invites RV campers to serve as site hosts at Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve. Duties include opening and closing the preserve, visitor-center work, collecting fees and maintaining gardens. The page identifies two RV pads, but does not say both are vacant or specify hookups, charges or required hours. Its separate Ramsey Canyon visitor and bookstore roles and Hart Prairie projects show a wider conservation network; those are not evidence of additional residential placements.
