Well kept & decent place to camp in Sonoran desert

We took a day trip out to this site, unloaded the bikes and headed out for a ride on Silverbell Road into the mountains. If you are heading to this site, I recommend putting the coordinates in your GPS or phone. It's easy to pass. It's a nice site with plenty of pullouts. We were the only ones our there.

Only camp here if it is cool out. There is no shade. It's pretty, but not spectacular. There are many other areas of the desert that are much more beautiful. 

We road about 3 miles out and it was pretty much all downhill. That meant a gradual 3 mile climb back with no breaks, which as fine but tiring. It was a pleasant ride, but, again, nothing spectacular. 

We then drove around the mountains to check out the 80 arm saguaro, the Titan Missile Interpretive Site, and Waterman Restoration Area. It was a nice day but now that I have done it, I won't be back.

Beautiful but remote

This "group" camp is about 5 mi on a good gravel dirt rd from the end of the pavement on Silverbell road. There is no signage as of Nov 2021. However the site is identified by all the fresh large boulders outlining the group area. Looks like 5-7 camping sites in the defined group area. Nice cactus vegetation, however NO cell signal! And NO toilets, tables, metal fire rings or trash cans...NO water either. Not sure if this group site has to be reserved, it is not listed on the reserve.com site, but local BLM office indicated the local recreation person was the contact to book the site. No info on the cost, or if it is free? Three stars due to no cell signal and no toilets or water. With a group, no toilets and water could be a significant drawback if the group are tenters.
