  Alamo Lake Dispersed Campsite

  Alamo disperse camping on BLM

  Beautiful lake view and awesome sky at night! Only drawback are the UHVs flying around stirring up dust and taking away from the peace and quiet that should come with off grid camping in a federal wilderness area. Can’t fly a six inch drone because might disturb someone but you can fly around in a loud UHV! They are ruining the experience. They need a remote spot well away from camping sites and hiking areas.

  Sophie's Flat Trailhead

  Open area

  Nice spot, pretty clean. Pretty easy to get to. There is a dirt road leading up to it. I think most size rigs could make it.

  Saddle Mountain BLM (Tonopah, AZ)

  Quiet and beautiful stop over

  Camped for one night on my way from NM to LA.  Arrived at night and it was easy to find. Awoke to a beautiful sunrise at the foot of the mountains. Great rock hunting too! This will be my regular camping spot form now on when traveling the same route.

  State land trust/Inspiration Point

  Weekdays are best

  State land trust, good spot for a few nights. Gunshots in the distance, but no incidents/casualties lol. Pulled my 31ft TT back into a spot for a week. Close 10 min drive to stores like WinCo and Safeway and gas stations. Quite weekdays, loud weekends due to motor vehicles breaking the rules. (Not a ohv area but treated as such)

  Like something out of a Western film

  We pulled in late at about 10pm. Wild burros and coyotes set the soundtrack and the cactus shadows looked against the bright night clouds. Absolutely worth the drive! We car camped and the weather was perfect and we slept great. We will definitely be back soon so we can actually pick a site and enjoy it!

  Burro Creek Overflow Dispersed Area

  BLM CG overflow

  Did get a spot in the CG but checked out the dispersed area. It did have ATT cell signal for messaging. Area well spread out, only a couple of rigs camped.

  Nice and quiet

  This was just an overnight stop. You can get right up next to the mountain if you want. Very rocky though. I made it with a 35' skoolie. Just go slow. It was fairly busy.

  Burro Creek Overflow Dispersed Area

  Burro Creek Overflow camping area

  When the Burro Creek CG is full, this is your option to wait for a spot to open. Good cell signal but no water, trash, or marked sites. The Burro Creek CG does allow the dry campers to come in and use the RV dump and fill with water $10 fee.

  BLM 17 mile road dispersed

  BLM 17 mile road dispersed

  Ok area for an overnite but area is not that big forultiple camps. Crossing the big wash is not recommended. Road is a wide grade sandy road. Cell is very good. No water, no toilets, no trash, no tables, just rough boondock.

  Better option is either Burro Creek BLM fee CG or the few free dispersed at top of Burro Creek CG access road.

  Vulture Peak Road North State Trust Land

  Dispersed AZ ST trust lands

  Rough sloped area at crest by cell tower. This is AZ Trust Land so a $15 online permit is needed to be legit. Cell signal is very good. Only a few miles into town and a grocery store.

  Vulture Mine Road South Dispersed

  Ok, but on AZ State Trust land

  Access road is rutted and could be muddy if wet. Large open flat area in middle. Free dispersed but need the $15 AZ lands permit. Cell signal is very good. No toilets, no trash, no tables...just rock fire rings. Close to the hwy so some hwy noise. Campers look to be folks that work in town, trashy vehicles and industrial setups, not really a RV nomad community area imho, has a sketchy vibe. The dispersed area a bit to the north closer to town by the cell tower may be a better spot

  Great camping site

  Saddle Mountain is fun to hike but strenuous. The area is quiet and easy to get to. RV and pet friendly.

  Swansea Ghost Town

  Very remote, but interesting

  This location is very remote and a high clearance vehicle is needed. The drive in is a dirt road and very tough the last couple of miles. I didn’t see many spots right at the ghost town, but plenty all over before and after. I had one or two bars of service on Verizon. If you like exploring and solitude, this place is for you.

  Saddle Mountain BLM (Tonopah, AZ)

  Great spot. Great views

  January Rv 23 fr Cell. Att. 3 bars

  This is a great spot that is easy to get to. You can see lots of lights from a refinery or factory of some sort but it didn’t really distract. The 10 fwy is only a few miles away and you can see it but if you are facing the mountains it feels more remote. Take the road further in. Most rv’s or big rigs can get pretty close to the mountain before the road becomes too tough. There are several roads that cut into the camping area from the main highway so you do t have to take the one that the directions here send you to. We were able to stream tv with good cell reception on att. I went on my dirt bike for the r into the mountains Very cool spot.

  Rock Solid Camping

  Love this Saddle Mtn Campsite! The pin location is accurate but it looks there are multiple different access routes. We really enjoyed it here because you can pull up within 50-100 yards from Saddle mountain and camp right below it. So cool.

  We tent camped for about 5 days here, the crowd was minimal, felt very safe. Plenty of trails to walk, can explore the mountain and there are petroglyphs here. We only found a couple, but didn’t look too hard.

  Overall loved this place, easy access, safe, fun and some cool views!

  Beautiful sunset.

  Easy access for midsized trailers. Larger trailers need to stick by graded road. Views are spectacular.

  Nothing Dispersed Camping

  Boondocking in Nothing AZ

  Easy Access, nice road. Drove in about 1/2 mile, camped on left. Level sights and clean. Heard some coyotes in the early evening. Saw some other campers, nice and helpful. Very nice scenery, beautiful spot. Would definitely stay again.

  Cow Creek Road Dispersed

  Lots of room, loud burros nightly.

  There is a long access road. Not too rough for our sedan but watch out that you enter the campground at the correct entrance. It's not great but the others are worse. Burros are loud and wander around at night. Don't bother them, they can be lethal, otherwise, they are pretty peaceful.

  Old Airstrip Camping & Staging Area

  Free and beautiful

  It was a great area to boondock camp, roads are rough but worth the trip. Cellphone service is spotty. Lots of ATV on the weekends. Be prepared to get stuck in the mud if it rains. There's a great lil gem you can hike to called Mudd Spings, it's super small natural spring.

  Ghost Town Road BLM Camping

  Beautiful Sandy Location

  This area is hard sand, many winding roads with secluded spots to camp and lots of green in between so quite private. However, with all that said, people seemed to want to camp all around ME! BUMMER! There are two cemeteries to explore. An old one with gravestones from liked 1902 and the other is more modern but it still has many old graves. I had cell coverage Verizon 2-3 bars most times but sometimes in and out, especially in the evening. I stayed 12 days. Went to Wickenburg to Fast Mart dump and get water, Safeway for groceries, and West Plaza Green Laundry right across the street from the Safeway and the Fast Mart is just a quarter mile down the road. Really convenient!

  Saddle Mountain BLM (Tonopah, AZ)

  Clean, Quiet & Easy to get to

  Not too far from I-10, easy to get to from highway. Used Google Maps. Pilot truck stop right off the exit with a few taco stands/trucks. Many roads to get on the BLM land, some more rocky than others. We had a big rock lodged between our 2 back dually tires, but suspect that doesn’t happen often. Some days it was a little windy and with the winds from the west it brought black flies. We had 8-10 flies hang in the van with us after we opened the door a few times. Other than that, plenty of sites very spaced out and neat walking trail up the mountain.

  Ghost Town Road BLM Camping

  Free

  Nice spot but not quite until dark. This area had a fair number of jets going overhead when we arrived in the afternoon. Lots of places to pull trailers and RVs of all sizes. Road gets bumpier as you drive back.
