Mesquite Flats South

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.

Across the highway from the Mesquite Flats review

There are 2 or 3 spots here that are somewhat difficult to access. The road is a bit washed out but not long.
You can see and hear the highway but traffic is minimal. There are 5 or 6 spots with rebar showing. It has been bent over and there are rocks placed on or near. The first spot has a rock fire ring and can accommodate a few few vehicle vehicles in one party. The second spot is a bit more difficult to access and looks like it could accommodate multiple vehicles as well. Verizon signal is poor. I don’t think I’d spend days here but it is a pretty spot on the way to Phoenix
