In the depths of Ironwood Forest National Monument, a short drive down a gentle primitive track, surrounded by saguaro cacti, with a great view of Ragged Top to the south. This dispersed site is well suited for a single overland vehicle or van, with a stone fire fire ring, and spotty cell service. It is a bit farther in the backcountry than many of the more popular sites in the area, so privacy here is decent. There are hiking opportunities and a lot of scenic Sonoran tracks to explore. It is about a 20 minute drive to town, and a nice, unspoiled place to settle down for a few nights.

Wow! Although not a proper campsite, this flat spot off of a remote BLM road is an unexpected gem, and was the highlight of the week. Located on a rocky flat section of desert, it offers phenomenal views of the Big Horn Mountains to the east. Surrounded by Saguaros, sandy washes, and colorful vegetation. There is enough room here for a few vehicles, with decent cell service, and no fire ring. There are presumably hiking opportunities in the neighboring wilderness area, with a few cars or trucks passing by every day, but this spot is a hundred yards from the main artery, so privacy is great. A four-wheel drive vehicle was decent clearance is required over a few rough sections. Our four-wheel drive Winnebago Revel did just fine, but some parts of the BLM road were tight so vehicles may be scratched. This is a great spot and I recommend it.

Not a proper campsite, this is a flat spot off to the side of a BLM road in Sonoran Desert National Monument. There are no fire rings or amenities here, although there is a vault toilet a couple miles away if the need arises. It is off a gentle primitive road accessible by four-wheel drive vehicle, but some sections of the road are tight, so larger vehicles might get scratches. Great views to the west, enough room for two vehicles, decent cell service, and there is a very nice looking hiking trailhead into the neighboring wilderness. There are jagged, rocky hills to the north and to the east. Although this spot is a few miles in, I was passed by a couple of vehicles at weird hours, en route to the hiking trailhead, so it is not the most private. This area is a verdant and lovely section of Sonoran desert, and while this spot is not the best campsite, it is still worth a visit for the scenery alone.
