BLM Dispersed off AZ 86 near Snyder Hill

Tucson-area BLM land spreads out along the west side of AZ 86 in the shadow of Snyder Hill, offering a wide, mostly level desert flat with room for everything from tents to full-size Class A rigs. The area draws a large crowd of overnight campers — often 50 or more — so arrival before sunset is wise to secure a good spot. The entrance off the highway is bumpy, but the camping surface smooths out quickly; the west side of the area, accessed from the Ajo Highway, is the quieter and more established section.
