We had a wedding here over the weekend and it was beautiful. There were several spaces for our group close by but yet allowed some space for privacy. It looked like a few more spots were open beyond ours and the weekend was predicted to be beautiful, and it was! So there were plenty of people there.
The road in made me a bit nervous in my little Toyota Motorhome but it was doable with slower speeds. There were bigger units out there I'm just not real experienced in the beauty of true boondocking.
Remember to carry a fork with you, it will make removing those pesky Cholla easier and needle nose pliers to remove the leftover needles, seriously. Also watch your dogs/pets as those Cholla will snag them in a blink and then they will try to pull it out and now have it in their mouths. Yep had that happen this weekend so pet friendly is yes and no, because the outdoors bites back,😅.
There are ZERO amenities so be prepared and please pack out your trash and leave your spot cleaner than when you arrived, because these are beautiful grounds to camp.
Could this area be from a foreign planet?
This camp spot has NO amenities. The sign on the way in reads ‘no dumping’. The road into the campground is narrow. Big rigs should grab one of the first spots. The further back the spots get smaller. Great sunsets. Low light pollution yields great star views.
Several types of cacti here. Like a dense forest.The cholla are the ones to steer clear of. Nasty hooked spines!
This is BLM land. As such, there is an active target practice range to the West. If that puts you on edge, best to go elsewhere.
I fled from a campground filled with the resounding noise of generators; finding this lovely place in a saguaro forest filled with birds was a dream come true. No one ran their generators 🥰 The only thing is the shooting range but that's sweet compared to a bunch of generators blasting away constantly.
This is an incredibly beautiful BLM dispersed campground for people looking to get away from the rat race and experience nature. Unfortunately it is close to a shooting range that is heavily used by war gamers firing automatic weapons at 7:15 am on weekends.
This is not a place to pull up at the end of the day into an already occupied campsite, use it as a toilet and trash dumping ground , sleep in your car and then leave the next day.
This place is magical. Camped here with my husband for a couple of nights as we travel cross country in our van. Pack in & pack out, leave this place more beautiful than you found it.
