A BLM road spur featuring a charming dispersed campsite with a neglected stone fire ring. Peace and solitude among the saguaros, in a flat, rocky clear area suitable for two or three vehicles. In the middle of the Sonoran Desert and fairly exposed to sun without much shade from vegetation. The highway is visible about one mile away to the north but it is very quiet and private. Requires four wheel drive to access, and there are some vehicle clearance challenges, but I was able to get our Winnebago Revel here. This is a great, unspoiled, lesser known spot to spend a night or two not far from pavement.

Several spacious flat spots adjacent to a wash, suitable for larger vehicles and RVs.

The protected ruins of an old gas station. You're able to wander through the ruins, but the main structure is securely gated. Looks like a new roof to preserve the history, too.

Former Barry Goldwater bombing area. Free permit required. You have to watch a 12 minute video in entirety, confirm you watched video, and go through a free checkout process. At completion, your permit is accessible in PDF format. This can be completed on-site in the backcountry if you have good enough cell service.

Suitable for smaller four-wheel drive vehicles. Too tight for a tall Sprinter van.

Dense vegetation on the edge of wash. Roughly 8' to 9' of clearance. Sprinter van would not fit under cleanly.

Dispersed hilltop campsite on a cement slab near at the ruins of an old mine. It is like setting up camp on a patio! Wonderful views in every direction, and lush Sonoran Desert vegetation, but exposed without much protection from the elements. Excellent cell service, and requires four-wheel drive to access, but completely doable in a 4x4 van. Excellent solitude and privacy. Since it was an ancient mining site and the foundation of an old building, there are a lot of rusty nails and debris around, so watch where you step. Also keep an eye out for critters. This is a unique and beautiful campsite, and it is one of my favorites in the area. Be advised, a free permit is required to access this area, for the former Barry Goldwater bombing range. It can be acquired online on site, but they make you watch a video.

Smaller 4x4 required to go beyond this point.

Passable for a full-size 4x4, but clearance challenges for a tall Sprinter van. Expect scratches.
