Best Campgrounds near Arlington, AZ

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.

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.

I stopped here to do laundry and get organized. I don’t normally stay at campgrounds like this, but was pleasantly surprised. Very clean and well laid out spots- with space

Would not stay again. Park is easy to find, very clean and well kept. Lots of mobile homes with an area for rv’s. Sights are very tight and very close together. Slides almost touch one another. The older lady in the office was not welcoming, or friendly. I called twice to get a confirmation and never did get one. The park is set up on just too close together. Would not recommend or stay there again!

Great camping with tons of off-roading nearby.

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!

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!

Wife found on Google Maps Somewhat curvy blacktop to campground.
Sites are gravel and all pretty level.
We like exposure for solar, which was good because there is no shade.
Pit toilets and trash dumpsters. No water or dump. Quiet at night. Met some wonderful people $8 a night is a good deal and the petroglyphs are right next to campground. Big rig friendly and a ton of spaces.

The Petroglyphs are awesome but not much else going on here. Stay a night and see it all in 15 minutes

Large sites near petroglyphs.

The area is maintained fairly well. There are plenty of spots to choose from and very level. Not alot in the area to do, but the Vekol ranch is awesome, if you're into abandoned homestead. Some trails for sxs also. Mountain views and sunsets are awesome here. Verizon signal is very good, enough to stream.

Parked here last two years, 6 months at at time over winter. Quiet, spacious, close to water, stores, lake pleasant. If you drive to the back, off new river road, you can find less people and traffic.

So thankful for this desert and the solitude it brought. The further off carefree you get, the more solitude you’ll find. It’s been pretty windy (25-30mph gusts) which causes a lot of dust but it’s gorgeous and warm during the day, even in January. Recommend black canyon city for laundry and hiked on the black canyon trail. Shell by this spot is pricey so make sure to get some stuff at Walmart in Anthem or somewhere else, however the shell is super convenient when in a pickle. Tons of stuff within 15-20 minutes such as groceries, shooting ranges, hiking, trails for the ATV/offroaders. I’d definitely visit again and recommend it. Also, great AT&T service, was able to work off hotspot from Tues-Friday with no incidence.

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.

Basic boondocking in the desert. Lots of room and others campers keep their distance.

Beautiful views of mountains with lots of birds.

The road in is about two miles of dirt road. Not too bumpy and appropriate for most cars and trailers. No end of room to turn around.

Nice warm, peaceful place in December. Great space and privacy. Friendly Camp host a plus. Big flat easy come easy go sites. First come first serve. Bring your own water and electric.
