Nothing Dispersed Camping

Rockhounds and desert explorers will find numerous opportunities at this Bureau of Land Management dispersed camping area just off Highway 93. The main access road branches left from the Nothing, Arizona pullout, passing through a cattle guard before leading to multiple camping spots scattered among large boulder formations and mature juniper trees. Laura M. notes the road "was recently graded so it was nice," though she warns of occasional dips that might challenge larger rigs.

The sandy ground provides level camping for both RVs and tents, with several sites offering enough space for multiple rigs. Campers consistently report good cell service, particularly with T-Mobile and Verizon, though AT&T reception varies by location. The area maintains a relatively quiet atmosphere despite some highway noise, and multiple visitors mention hearing coyotes during early morning hours. Free-range cattle, deer, and mountain lions also inhabit the region.

Road conditions become sandier deeper into the camping area, potentially requiring four-wheel drive for extended exploration. Most campers find suitable spots within the first half-mile of the access road. Fire rings dot various camping spots, and the BLM allows campfires and pets throughout the area. For those seeking developed amenities, Burro Creek Campground provides facilities about seven miles northwest.

Visitors often highlighted the spacious, level sites suitable for all rig sizes and peaceful desert setting. Some road noise from Highway 93 noted, but most found it minimal with beautiful bouldering rocks and desert scenery throughout the area.

Boondocking in Nothing AZ

Easy Access, nice road. Drove in about 1/2 mile, camped on left. Level sights and clean. Heard some coyotes in the early evening. Saw some other campers, nice and helpful. Very nice scenery, beautiful spot. Would definitely stay again.

Nice spot

Short drive off 93. Surface is a little soft in places. We have a 4x4 truck camper with a small trailer in tow. It wasn't a problem for us. If in rhe area will definitely use again. There is no WiFi, Verizon is 1 bar 4G.

Lots of Space!

This place is just off the highway (so you can hear car sounds) but there is a ton of open space and a lot of pull off places to camp. Free to stay.

AMAZING

From Hwy 93, there is a large pullout for Nothing, AZ. To the right of the pullout there is a cattle guard and a dirt road that forks. Don’t bother with the road to the right, it is a shooting garbage dump. Take the dirt road down to the left- just watch for the occasional dip which might be an issue for large rigs. The road was recently graded so it was nice. 

There are plenty of open flat spaces to park any size rig or even tent camp since the ground is sandy. This place is beautiful! The road further down gets quite sandy and may be difficult unless you have 4x4 but we made it a nice distance in with 26ft class C just fine and found a spot that could potentially fit at least 4 other rigs. 

Large bouldering rock groupings among large old junipers and other desert flora. It was quiet with minimal road noise from the highway. If you’re into rockhounding there is a lot to be found here. 

This area is mostly trash free down the dirt road but at the highway turnoff trash is everywhere. We picked up around out spot but there wasn’t a whole lot. No amenities, bring your own water and pack in and out and maybe pack a little extra out to help keep this place beautiful and open for camping. 

Mountain lions, coyotes, deer and free range cattle in the area. Only heard coyotes in very early morning, though there was a decaying animal carcass near our spot as well as deer legs. 

Poor, barely usable Verizon reception and AT&T was ok. 

There are 4 trash cans at the pullout at Nothing but all the trash has blown all over the lot and the surrounding grounds. Not sure if the trash is picked up or if this area is maintained at all.  Nothing is a tiny little ghost town with an interesting history.
