Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
BLM site recommended to me by the Saguaro Rangers on the west side, about 10 mins down mile wide road from the Red Hills visitors center. I noticed there was only a couple of spots further south and knew there had to be something closer. He gave me a small paper map of three different sites that we could camp for free, if you’re interested in the others have a word with the rangers in the visitors center for more info. This one is pretty secluded and has a cattle gate (be sure to close it after entering) the roads are excellent as the ground is all sand so no deep ruts. You could probably bring any rig you want to put here and find space for it but we went maybe a mile in for our spot just to get away from the entrance. We are in a converted ford e-350 van. You will be alone out here so if that makes you uncomfortable this site isn’t for you. Decent Verizon coverage and A+ AT&T coverage. Happy camping :)
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Road in on the right side was washboarded, left side leaving wasnt, if no one else is coming Idve driven on the left to not have my car banged up so badly, after that once you get to the gate its completely sand, soft with no washboard/bumps, a few tiny holes here and there but not problematic. Very quiet and desolate, I was the only one there with gorgeous views
Report Check-InGreat spot for a night. You will need to open a gate to get in at intersection of Mile Wide Road and Reservation Road. Once you drive in you will make it to the sign giving you the rules for camping here. Brought in our 32ft Travel Trailer and there is an easy turn around spot. Saw lots of Wild life including a rattlesnake and Great Roadrunner.
Report Check-InJust as described by Andrew. Stayed one nigh, there is also another van on site. For some reason GoogleMap originally sent us to another location 20 minutes from site. Make sure to use the Lat/Lon in your search criteria’s.
