The business is open to both those by themselves wanting to shoot as well as groups who want to reserve the range for various events.

At the Double Adobe Campground and Shotgun Sports, the owners hope to help guests feel comfortable and as if they were "part of the family," according to Roy, one of the owners. Roy and the staff at the property want to treat those who stay with them with respect by striving to follow the "treat others as you would want to be treated" mentality. In an attempt to create a friendly and family-oriented environment, Roy and Norma, the other owner of the property, try to greet those who come to the park and check in on them. Roy says that either he or Norma will take a walk around the property every day to make sure that patrons are comfortable and have the things they need. They hope to create an environment where those who stay at the establishment feel comfortable and want to return.
The business has a portion of its visitors that return multiple years in a row. Many who stay at the establishment comment on the hospitality of the staff and the array of wildlife that can be found on the grounds. Some of the animals that can be seen at the campground include deer, quail, and javelina; multiple species of birds can be seen from the property, and birdwatching can be a popular activity in the area. One visitor said, "Helpful owners who work hard to maintain the campground. The campground is well-maintained and clean. Also, it is quiet; we know there is a shooting range nearby but rarely hear any noise that would bother us."
According to Roy, some of the unique features of the Double Adobe Campground are the wildlife that passes through the property and the sunsets that are often seen at the property. The business is reportedly in a more secluded area on the outskirts of McNeal, Arizona, and as such, there are not many buildings obstructing views of the sky during sunset hours. The campground and shooting range is open year-round, and Roy reports that the busiest time of year for the campground is from October through April due to the cooler temperatures at that time. According to Roy, many of the visitors to the premises are retired people who "snowbird,'" meaning they come to the area for the warmer climate during the winter months before returning to their homes when it gets into the "warm season."
While staying at the Double Adobe Campground and Shotgun Sports, the owners have policies in place that guests are expected to adhere to. The business is pet-friendly, though pets must be kept on leashes at all times and cleaned up after. Additionally, there is an enforced quiet time for patrons from 10:00 PM until 8:00 AM daily.
In the surrounding area, there are multiple activities that can appeal to a variety of ages of guests. Bisbee, Arizona, is located near the establishment and was once a mining town. Today, the town has a variety of museums and activities surrounding the history that guests can take part in. Every year, the town puts on an event called the "Bisbee 1,000," which is a stair climbing race over the mountains in the area. Additionally, Tombstone is another city nearby that can be enjoyed by visitors. Styled as an old western settlement, there are multiple places that can be visited by patrons. Other areas of note include the Coronado National Forest, which has hiking trails, the White Water Draw, the Chiricahua Mountains, and Ramsey Canyon. Some eateries in the area that Roy would recommend include Gus's Pizza, Jimmy's Hot Dogs, the Gaston Hotel Inn, and Contessa's.
Norma and Roy, the owners of the Double Adobe Campground and Shotgun Sports, have owned the business since 2007. For the 25 years leading up to the purchase of the campground, Roy worked in the retail industry. After years in retail, he decided he wanted to change things up. He said that he wanted to "try to control [his] destiny and [his] future" by being his own boss and doing something that he loved. He and his wife purchased the RV park because they "wanted to do something that didn't feel like work" but could still be something that they loved. Over the past 16 years of owning and operating the park, the couple has made multiple changes to the establishment. They have updated all of the RV spaces and added the sporting complex to the shooting range. When they originally purchased the property, there was only trap shooting on the premises, but they have upgraded the complex to include more types of shooting opportunities.
In the future, the couple hopes to keep the business operating and open for those who are looking for a place to stay in southern Arizona. They continue to do regular maintenance to the RV sites and upgrade them with the hopes of continuing to improve their guest's experience. They want to provide an experience for those who stay at the park, giving them the opportunity to stay on the grounds as well as shoot at the range.
