We have an 80 acre Organic Medjool Date farm located at the base of the Gila Mountains in Wellton, AZ. We are a bit off the beaten path but once you get here it's so worth the drive. The star gazing is amazing and if you like off-roading there are trails everywhere out here!
We have lots of chickens, a few turkeys, two goats (Phoebe & Mabel), two dogs-a pug named Bob and a three-legged Golden Pyrenees named Nymeria, and a desert tortoise named Miles. Ask us about our organic Medjool dates, farm tours, and farm fresh eggs!
We have a nano-BREWERY and restaurant on-site, open seasonally to guests and to the public. High Tanks Brewing Co is open November-April Thurs-Sun from 11-5pm. Throughout this season we offer many fun things to do such as farm tours, live music, cornhole tournaments, yoga, farm-to-table style dinners, and much more. Please check out our website www.hightanks.com or Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hightanks for a schedule of events.

It was a nice place very clean and very quiet.

Fairly easy approach with my overcab camper setup, and family of 4. beautiful saguaro and ocotillo country, yotes yipping at night, owls, wrens and a ton of wildlife. Maybe be careful of pckrats and leave your hood propped up with a light. Otherwise one of our favorite dispersed camp sites ever!! LOTS of space to explore. 
Guide
We loved this place. We followed directions. TheQueens road portion.
We are in 23 fr rv and took main road in. There is a split off between queens and palm canyon. Palm canyon any vehicle can do. Queens you won’t take an rv in. You’ll want high clearance for sure .. that said , just coming in main road there are lots of great spots. Clean, quiet and great views of mountains Had three bars cell with ATT Busy spot so come early
ScoutWhat a peacefull, friendly park! Small, only 10 spots with mountain views. Full hookups for big rigs with brick patios. Feels like home. Shelli and Mr. John are wonderful hosts. We are in a 41ft 5th wheel with back porch. No highway or trains. No Atvs or trucks driving by your site all day, so calming. Will stay again.

Camping area next to a big picnic area shelter. The original poster had pin at the ajo county dump which maybe is not far off in spirit! Note you need a permit to camp here...but guess you have to call the park folks. Cost and camping stay limit not clear on signs but office noted camping permit is free at office and camping limit is 14d but flexible.... Sign notes no alcohol.
Guide
They have multiple activities every day for visitors and residents. We arrived around 8:30 PM, jumped in the pool and hot tub (thanks random resident for teaching us how to use the lights!!) and then headed back to our rig for the night. Geared towards RVs but we were just fine in our van. Full hookups for $32 a night! We paid cash in an envelope and dropped it at the office.
Traveler
We stayed in a 40' motorhome for a couple of nights. Easy access even for bigger rigs. Huge spaces to find a spot. The area was pretty clean - only one trashy-looking camper. No amenities at all! Short drive into town for gas, food, and restaurant. Verizon & T-mobile worked great.
GuideNice little campground. Small town atmosphere. Seems to be a nightly stop for most. Fills up in the afternoon and empties out in the morning. I stayed 2 nights just to check out the town. If you’re not a trucker then not much to do.
TravelerStayed a couple of nights

Ashley here with The Dyrt. I'm SO excited to welcome this new partner. This property is a beautiful Organic Date Farm and they offer experiences to their guests. You can also rent an on-site camper. Visit this property and take some photos. Make sure to share your experience here!
Guide
Such kindhearted owners, allowed me to mail a few packages I needed on my journey! Bless them! Great place for our needed laundry and electric hook-ups (for vacuuming and fresh veg shake blending) on our journey of mostly off-grid life right now!
Plus… they also have a dump for those who do not stay overnights also!
GuideStopped here for the night on the way back to Tucson and loved it. Hope to go back and explore the town a little more next time!
Ranger
Drove down Kings road to find a place to camp for one night. Lots of open spaces and really far apart from one another. Fire pits and markings are clear so you can see which area is actually a site. I didn’t go too far back with my teardrop trailer. Beautiful sunset and very quiet. A couple of coyotes came right through my camp. Pretty cool!
TravelerPacked in. Dozens or hundreds of trailers these first 2 weeks of February. Sunny, but not overly warm weather. Road noise that is not overwhelming, just a steady din in the background. Tent campers having some trouble this time of year as the wind increases sharply in the afternoon.
Guide
Cheap and easy full hook ups under $20 hard to pass up just don't mind the train every 30 minutes or so
GuideVery nice park with solid amenities. The staff members are friendly and helpful.
GuidePaved roads to the spaces which have full hook-ups. Pull through spaces for temporary stays. Military discount year round. Small swimming pool. Different activities each day of the week. Grocery store is in Wellton AZ 10 miles away. Staff and guests are fantastic. This is a 55+ age requirement RV park. Pets are allowed. BLM land borders property so guests bring their ATVs.
LegendThis camping area is next to the County roping arena. There was some kind of grid RV area in distant past but now the entire area is neglected and rundown. There are a couple derelict RV trailer camps and some trashy campers that need to be booted out. This is a free 14d area and seems the County will come by and issue you a free permit. Cell signal is very good but no water, no trash, no tables and the old toilet by the arena is locked. Overall just a neglected Pima County park resource.

This is a small RV park next to the community owned golf course. Full and partial hookups and also a dry camping area. Cell signal very good and close to AJO.
RangerEasy to access primitive camping on the way to Yuma. We camped about midway down King Rd since road started to appear a bit rough for our car. High clearance vehicles would be able to pass through without trouble.
GuideVery nice camping in Kofa. Safe, clean, easy access. Terrific views. Great place to ride mountain bikes on dirt roads.
ScoutI've been here twice, the last a few days ago. I was the only person there and at night felt like i was the only person on earth or moon. Completely quiet. Many fire pits and as another review said, lots of glass everywhere. Lots of cans with holes in them.
TravelerFree camping and close enough to drive to amenities or stores for food and supplies. Nearby activities like looking for crystals or hiking to see rare ferns. Very peaceful.
RangerMy last stop before I continued my trip into California and what an awesome stop it was. I’ve spent a month in Arizona roaming around and each area has me fantastic!
I’d immediately recommend having a truck or suv so you can really explore the entire area. I was camping in my overland Tahoe on this stretch and it handled the area well. My buddies has a Tacoma and Land Cruiser respectively so we were set.
It’s all about exploration out here. Lots of RVs bringing their play toss out here so you’ll run into a lot of dirt bikes and utvs which is awesome. Numerous mining areas and ranch buildings still dot the area and are fun to respectfully explore. Sunsets are beautiful, shade is non existent, and rocks aplenty. Cell service was non existent for majority of my trip, and no water that we came across. Saguaros and ocotillos are everywhere which add to the AZ landscape
Do your best to understand the local rules and regs here and abide by them. This is an area we need to respectfully use so we have it for decades to come
GuideI stayed off of King Rd. which was accessible using a regular. I would take a truck if I did it again. Not a bad place to camp out at if you're heading to Yuma. It was free. No bathrooms and no water. Had a fire because it gets cold in February. There were many RV's in the area with plenty of room. Looks like people take their dirt bikes around those parts.
LegendVery nice location only 4.5 miles from town market. The sign entering the park says "Permits Required" but I spoke to some campers that came here every winter and said that stopped about four years ago and no one there that I spoke to had one.
There is and area for horses and a picnic area with tables and grills.
Nice place to stay when passing through or to stay awhile.
LegendDrive in road fairly smooth, slightly nartow in some areas. I only went in about 6 miles to marker 60. I saw 4 Sherriff's vehicles coming out on my way in. Makes the area feel safer. Camp areas were spaced far apart and some were fairly large. The first two miles in from the main road is BLM land. Many large camp areas there that could even handle group gatherings.
