Along Highway 88 in Arizona's Superstition Mountains area, Mesquite Flats South provides free dispersed camping with drive-in access to 2-3 spots. The access road shows washout damage but remains passable for most vehicles. Campers can see and hear highway traffic, though one reviewer notes it stays minimal. Several sites display rebar markers that have been bent over with rocks placed nearby for safety. The first camping spot includes a rock fire ring and can accommodate multiple vehicles for group camping. A second site requires more careful maneuvering to reach but also offers space for several rigs. Verizon cell service proves poor throughout the area. Those seeking additional options can explore campgrounds just outside Tortilla Flat or the nearby Mesquite Flats location.
