The Best Camping Near Marana, Arizona

This free dispersed BLM camping area is along an unmarked two- track road that heads toward a topographic feature knob (2555 ft elevation). No water, toilets or trash. Cell service is ok unless you get close to back side of knob. The access road is not doable for RVs or TTs IMO, so this area is more suited to high clearance overlander and truck campers. Road has large water potholes after rains also. Road ends at a large opening that was likely a shooting area in past.  Only thing there now is a lazyboy recliner for your camping needs, however my pup peeded on it!

Overlander Truck camping only

We pulled our 26' travel trailer down the dirt road and found a great site about half a mile before the Silverbell cutoff.  On the way there we saw several occupied sites that are suitable for small MH, 5th wheel or travel trailer.  This was our first time there and it was a tough find but we stayed two nights and loved it.  Site had a fire ring already to use and was fairly level.  (if you have a big rig I suggest you stay down by Pumphouse road)  Cool nights and great sunsets aamoung a saguaro forest. Beautiful.  If possible you should scout out a spot before you drive the 5 miles of washboard as we were lucky.     Good luck.

Best dispersed camping area!

This land is massive, tons of cactus and high brush for privacy. You really feel remote here. Quiet off a main road but you can go pretty far back in the right vehicle. Endless spots. I feel like I was the only one out here? I only heard one car in the morning…not sure why other folks aren’t here it’s way better than Snyder hill. There is confusing signage. There are signs saying no trespassing. And other signs saying camping rules and explaining the area once you drive in. There’s areas with pits. The road is flat to start but requires high clearance further down as it has many dips but is easily drivable in a truck. I believe technically it is permitted. 

Google search said it’s multi-owned which is why it’s confusing. I think the permit is cheap for arizona, honestly I wasn’t bothered at all at night. I only stayed one night. It was beautiful. Would stay again but probably look into the proper permit for ease of mind. I read somewhere else it’s $20 for the season? Not sure!
