Best Campgrounds near Aguila, AZ

After Tortilla Flat Natl Forest campground closed abruptly I needed accommodations and this KOA was on my way and in my budget. Gravel/dirt lot with level campsites, good power, water & sewer. Clean but private showers and bonus pool/spa (didn't use). Desert across the street attracts lots of OHV folks here but also provides a place for doggies to roam.

Lots of camping spots before and after this specific location. Camping spots are spread out. You can see about 20 miles of I-10 from this area. Power substation have bright lights on all night but I would camp there again.

I currently do not have photos to share. We camped on Campground C38 which had a wonderful view of the lake. The campground we stayed does not have sewer connections, only water and electric. There is a dump station, shower and restroom on site.  

We would do it again! P.S. the weather was perfect in March.

Too rocky for us to drive into. You may want to pull along the main road and walk in to see the conditions. There are several places to drive in, so pick the one that looks the best to you and your rig. Just saying...

Excellent... Lots of room, flat, and just off a paved road. This is better than the wild camping we found up in Wickenburg. Yes, there are signs here that you need to have an Arizona Trust Land Permit, but you get it online for$16. If you need to dump and/or get fresh water Wickenburg is just miles up the road and the Fast Mart Chevron station has two stations for this, plus propane. We paid$15 to dump and the potable water fill up was included. Wickenburg is surprising and has all the services, grocery, etc... you would need.

Beautiful campsite, first camping trip with our new travel trailer and this was great first spot! Dirt rad was a little bumpy but actual campsite was easy to get to

Great camping with tons of off-roading nearby.

Wonderful off grid sites. There is so many places out here to camp and as far as i can tell some people are living out there. its very peaceful at night and very Dark for looking at the stars. wild life is everywhere and so many donkeys. There are still some old cowboys around on horse getting cattle. On the weekends its a SxS mall out there, i was there for 14 days and on the weekends there was about 50 to 60 SxS out and about. many many trails. very dry and clean, not a lot of trash and i did not smell or see anything.

Really cool spot lots of activities for the whole family very clean an lots of friendly people enjoying the place also

Amazing campsite setting nestled against the Saddle Mountains. Beautiful Sunsets & Sunrises. Stargazing is spectacular. You won't regret it!

I heard a rumor there was good cell coverage with Verizon,but that was false. Nice Campground, good place to fish, traiks are short but ok.

Pros: The views are absolutely beautiful, sites are spaced out, quiet and clean, most roads almost any car can make it there are a few that requires a truck.

Cons: Flies are horrendous out here, no matter what you try to do to keep them away or out it’s almost impossible to do!

The dirt road leading in is very easy to drive on. There are many stone campfire rings. Cactus and shrubs all around. In the 50s during the day high 30s at night.

We drove by Quartzsite and decided that was not for us. It looked like a commune in the desert.

We decided to camp here and liked it enough to stay 3 nights. There was some freeway noise but not that noticeable once you get 100 yards away from the freeway.

We found a very secluded spot and did not see a sole the entire time we were here. We felt safe and secluded.

There was a big beautiful fire ring. You are not allowed to gather firewood here so pick some up before leaving town. Also fires are only allowed from October to March.

If the weather is not too cold, its a great option for winter camping.

One thing to remember about this place. There is only one store nearby and it is has the highest prices I have ever seen. They have a good selection but you will not like paying that much.

We stayed at the Willow Campground for two nights while visiting family and friends in the Surprise area. Hiked the Waterfall and Black Loop Trail for a little exercise as well. Didn’t do any others as our dog had an encounter with a stray cholla ball. This would be the only concern for those traveling with pets. There are quite a few lose even along trails. Other than that the facilities are clean and well kept. Fresh water and showers are available.

Lake Alamo is one of our favorite spots!!! Great place for SxS riding. I've been riding here over 15yrs and always find new trails. Must visit the Wayside Oasis for Lunch and a beer on every visit.

From what i gather, some dimbasses were taking pit shots at the free roam cattle...I guess they thought they were not owned. Regardless, we had been there about a week when we were abruptly told to pack up and get out of here. So I did. Liked the spots though.

The road in is a little rough, but ok. Two week stay limit, but that's pretty standard for BLM properties. There's no facilities so be prepared. Good level land and plenty of room. Wild burros wander through occasionally, and coyotes make their presence known as well. Fantastic views and quiet atmosphere, so far. Been here two nights and plan to stay for at least another week.

Coordinates led to a cattle guard that is fenced closed. No access to the site. You could park next to the road though.
