Great spot to split up our drive. Super easy access and road in, the coordinates take you to one spot, but there is multiple here. It’s not far off the road but far enough to be peaceful and quiet! Amazing view of Mt. Graham!

Quiet, beautiful view.

Very nice dispersed camping. Only three other RVs here. Great views of wide open spaces

Nice dispersed camping.

Nice Spot. Easy to find, and easy to find a spot. Big Rig friendly in the 1st area. Gets a little tighter the further down you go like most places. We stayed in the 1st area for stronger internet &amp; less fuel consumption when we go to town. Diesel prices are stupid right now. We found a nice level unobstructed spot looking out at the snow capped peaks of Mt. Graham. Verizon via Visible 2-3 bars. ATT via Straight Talk 3-4. Haven't tried OTA channels. 4 Rigs in the 1st area, about a football field apart. Some overnighters, but most we talked to here 7-14 days. Minimal trash, but some. Pretty quiet and only about 8m to town, but it feels more remote. Free dump station at the Water Reclamation Plant in Safford, just sign in, dump, sign out. They also have water to rinse, not potable. Cute diner in town called Jerry's. Good burgers at JD's sports bar (loud though). Great RV repair shop (Trek RV) squeezed us in for a Furnace motor issue. This one gets added to the Will RETURN list.

Nice spot with great views, easy access to goods/services  8m away.

Agree with all previous reviews. Good spot for a one night as my wife and I do a cross country ramble from California to Florida in a teardrop. Blessed with no wind and mild temps. Nice sunset behind Mount G. Plenty of spots even with a dozen or more RVs and vans. 

Easy overnight that feels boondocky

Spent two nights here at the exact place where Google Maps says you have arrived.  Very secluded and quiet!

Our site was pretty much a gravelly level area.  We were just above the dam.

There is absolutely nothing at this site to create shade or a wind block.  Fortunately we had only light breezes at dawn and dusk.  It can feel really cold in the morning before the sun comes up even at 40.
