We liked it there. Nobody else on Friday night, plenty of space
The typical rumble strip dirt road to this point but easily doable.
Service: 1 bar Verizon
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.
We stayed Mid May, ghost town, everyone who could had left. All felt kind of desolate.
RV site had everything water, sewer and electric. Lots of weeds and nothing else.
Showers adequate, Clubhouse house even sported its own large kitchen! People playing cards in an adjoining room were rude.
Only necessity could make me return! Paid for 2 nights & LEFT after one.
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.
Never camped before in my life, so I have nothing to compare this to. Having said that- the staff were great, bathrooms very clean. The weather was quite warm, so we didn’t do much exploring. Also - the donkeys!! Everywhere!
Miles of desert and washes to explore with tons of dispersed camping sites. Can get busy on holiday or event weekends but worth it otherwise. Some weekends have horse or Dirtbike events. Nearby washes lead to tons of trails near castle hot springs that can lead to various abounded mine sites (including Anderson Mill). Obviously not ideal camping in the summer but GREAT for the fall/winter/spring months.
This RV Park has it all..Run by professionals. They even escort you to your space.Facilities are great, they have all of them, lit paved walkways.large spaces, wifi works
A few things. 1st. If you plan on staying overnight with an RV do not reserve the Ramada sites. They’re meant for day use and are super tiny and squished together. We started there, but our 24ft trailer wasn’t even close to fitting. So we had to move.
We moved to the sites with no water and no electric. Super awesome sites, very clean and very quiet.
Donkeys…..there are tons of donkeys, really cool…..the first night. They’re cool until you realize they don’t sleep and all they do is make a lot of noise,lol. Not that I wouldn’t go back again because of the donkeys, but just be prepared they’re not far away and they make the “hee-haw” noise All Night Long, lol.
Don’t camp here without water sports or Side by side. There aren’t any trails for bike riding or hiking. But the water is great to spend a couple of days on and the Side by side trails are endless.
Overall, really nice camping. I would definitely go back, with or without a SxS. Just not in the summer….there’s no shade and it’s desert.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
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)
I've camped at Burro Creek Campground multiple times, and almost every time I've had the place practically to myself. It's a really neat area to explore. The creek has beavers, and rattlesnakes appear in the summer months alongside the cows. This campground is a must-stop for a weekend getaway. Before you go, search online to find ghost towns in the area.
Camp is located well off hwy so is very quiet. Good access road that is well marked after you cross bridge going south. Site #5 easy back in, level graveled area. Plenty of room for Scamp & Tacoma (30’). Covered table. No hookups and no ATT cell service. Restrooms available but didn’t use.
Centennial Park County is an easy stop on way to Phoenix. Pull thru site #7 Water and electricity for $20. If you only stay a night or two it’s $5.00 to dump ( free with longer stay). Sites 1-12 elect/waterBathroom, picnic benches and shower ( have to ask for key). Says they use reverse osmosis for water. 9 hole golf course. County library across street. Baseball diamond and playground . Dry camping also ($10) Hike trail around park. Host was a gem!! Beautiful sunset with hills.
Great place to Boondock up to 2 weeks.
Pros:
Cons:
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.
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.
Pulled into our reserved spot only to see a 6ft x 6ft section roped off for a drip irrigation repair. It was really great to have this area roped off right where you would normally have the awning out and sit. Would have been nice to know this was being worked on when I booked so I could have looked for another spot. Otherwise it is a fine enough campground.
Alamo Lake is a long-time favorite spot. Only a couple hours West of PHX and some great views with an abundance of SxS / ATV trails. Alamo Lake is also very well known for it's fish (especially bass & crappie). Section C has Water & Electric. Section D is primitive and as such, less crowded. This is a great place Oct - April. Outside of those dates, you'll want Electric so you can run the A/C. Wi-Fi & cell service is questionable. Some spots are good, others are not. While I've done a lot of work out here, try to stay off the devices, PCs and TVs. Enjoy what's out here!!
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 CG has a host, water, trash, flush toilets, tables, fire-rings. Cell is very good tmobile. $14/$7 nite. 1/2 sites are reservable.
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.
This park is amazing. Amazing. It’s great and every way weather friendliness of the staff the friendliness of the campers the Rvers really was impressed. I wish I could spend a month there but I’ve got to move on.
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.
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
Saddle Mountain is fun to hike but strenuous. The area is quiet and easy to get to. RV and pet friendly.
Great spot plenty of private areas, pretty clean, amazing sunset, great scenery. Watch out for coyotes if you have animals
