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.
