BLM Yuma AZ near VFW

There were only a few sites available on Dec 9th which was a Saturday. Location is a little north of VFW. Drive into the VFW driveway, around the back of the VFW building going north. This will take you to the BLM site. Just drive around the flat area until you find a campsite. Dusty. Hwy 95 and railroad are next to camp area.

SiteThere are no disignated camp sites.

Directions sent me to the wrong place.

It is a flat/semi-flat area that is north of the VFW building on BLM land. Drive around the west side of the VFW. VFW has nothing to do with the BLM land. There is a 14 day limit stay with a "camp host" (which was not there). Yuma is about 12 miles away.

SiteNo marked sites.

Dusty but friendly dispersed

Lots of trains going by! Right by a main highway but we enjoyed meeting the other folks and were relieved to have a place to stay after having made an attempt on a rough dirt road where we had to turn around in BLM land nearby. Of course, after getting to the area we discover that we should’ve gone out to the lake Metairie area and that there is actually a hard road access to that beautiful BLM free camping.
