Peaceful, east big rig sites

Easy access -- open the gate, drive in, close the gate. There's enough room to pull off the highway in a 43' RV towing a truck, and stop to get the gate open. Pretty easy to navigate and find a spot. Level. Spots are spacious and while others were around us, they were so far away that we couldn't hear generators or see them. Little bit of road noise, little bit of 4-wheeler noise, but not at all intrusive. Pretty clean area where 'leave no trace' is being practiced. Beautiful views of Superstition Mountains. We have a UTV --plenty of trails to access from this area; it takes about a half hour to navigate them and get to the 'fun' trails more in the mountains. Would def stay here again.

Nice spot! Permit needed.

Beautiful area, easy to get to, someone did come by to check permits (Arizona Land Trust permits, only $20 per family per year I think). They also made us move our camper because we were within a quarter mile of the cows water source. We didn't see any water or cows at all but not a big deal, we just moved to a different spot. Stayed for 2 weeks.
