  Lone Tree Dispersed Camping BLM

  Ugly gravel pit next to hwy

  This spot is best for a quick layover and then move on. Just an old gravel pit,th no water, no toilets, no trash. Only a few miles north of the town and Walmart. There were a couple of broke down burned out vehicles that added to the ambiance. No cell in the lower pit but ok cell on upper level.

  Hwy 193 BLM Dispersed

  Beautiful and peaceful spot; rough road for RV

  We stayed Oct 28-31. We stayed in a back-in dispersed camping spot ...exit 66 from I-40, and a couple miles on S Blake Ranch Road. Our rig is 43', towing a pickup with UTV loaded in the back. After unhooking (wide road) by the old Hwy 93 turnoff, we drove 93 a ways in the truck and determined it was too rough and washed out in places for our RV.

  We explored down S Blake Ranch road and found our spot --several spots are available down that road, and easy access to trails if you go out trail-riding.

  Blake Ranch road is wide, and pretty wash boarded in places, but easily doable, taking it slow. We backed into our chosen site, with room for the truck and UTV. A bonus = it's a level site!!

  Beautiful scenery, extremely peaceful, wooded site with plenty of scrap wood around for a careful campfire.

  Also making it a mission in retirement travel to practice Leave No Trace, so also cleaned up some prior trash left behind as well as our own.

  A little traffic does go down the road, but not often.

  Had 2 bars of Verizon cell service; husband had about the same on US Cellular.

  Craggy Wash BLM

  Large area with plenty of space

  We spent 4 days here and it was very nice! People seem respectful on the UTVs. Local amenities are super super convenient!

  Hwy 193 BLM Dispersed

  Beautiful and Ugly

  We went a lot farther down the road than anyone else that we could see. There are several places to camp pretty close to Blake’s Ranch Rd. But they were full. The farther down the road, the rougher and more rutted it gets. Don’t recommend for larger campers or trailers unless it’s a 4x4 type. We found a huge spot. Obviously someone or multiple people stayed here for quite a while and generated a lot of trash which they left all over. Not cool! There is the faintest hint of traffic noise from I-40. You will probably have to do some leveling on your vehicle.

  Arizona trust land camping

  Good Verizon signal clean sites. Easy to get to beautiful area. You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online.

  Beautiful and wild

  We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.

  Craggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area

  Solid Overnight Stop

  We stopped here as a one night stop on our way to New Mexico. It was a decently maintained dirt road, you should know how to crawl around potholes and/or have a higher clearance vehicle. I could see a 2WD getting stuck in the sand/fine rock areas. If you want to sleep in at all, definitely pick the west side of a large rock structure to help block the morning sun. It very quickly got hot, but with no canopy on the tent at night, we slept comfortably.

  DW Ranch Road

  Great Spot but go further up the road

  We stayed here for a night and the site was beautiful. We stayed in one of the spaces not too far down the road as it was our first time dispersed camping. I would definitely recommend staying further down the road as there were a few things we quickly realized:

  • There is a Loves truck stop on the other side of the highway so if gets pretty loud with all of the truck traffic
  • DW Ranch road had a lot of local traffic, including jeeps that I'm assuming were going off roading but they kept blasting by at 2/3AM with those huge light bars on them
  • There is a parking lot right at the end of the road that seemed to be a hot spot for high school kids that wanted to come mess around in the field area at night (We stayed on a Saturday and got woken up by some drunk kids walking pretty close to our area yelling and screaming)

  Hwy 193 BLM Dispersed

  Nice dispersed desert camping

  We pulled in to a spot here late at night and left the next morning to continue our long drive, so we didn’t spend a lot of time here, but it served our needs! I am happy any time I wake up surrounded by nature, and I was very happy to wake up and see quail running in the morning. There were some people in tents as well as other RV/car campers around, but it was all spaced out nicely so you still have privacy.

  Hwy 193 BLM Dispersed

  Easy access, lots of room for trailer

  We arrived around 4pm and to our surprise there was no one here. Had our choice of spots. Unfortunately past visitors left a fair amount of trash in several sites. Bummer I think. Don't ruin a good thing. Approximately 10 or so sites. No fire pits unless you make one, no tables, no bathrooms. Free BLM camping. Great access from hiway. About 3 mile off hwy 40 easy. Gas and food possibilities at exit when you leave. Nice and alot of Juniper trees but not enough for any shade. Would stay here again. Hopefully no one screws it up. PICK UP YOUR SHIT!!

  Western Diamondback Rattlesnake

  Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.

  Great stop LAS - GCNP

  We needed a nice, lovely spot to rest for the night and organize our campervan on our way from LAS to GCNP. This was perfect. No one around, lovely sunset and sunrise, campervan did just fine.

  Lake Mohave - Nevada Telephone Cove — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Awesome!

  We have a 37’ class A diesel pusher. The road in wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Go slow. Some tight spots so watch for oncoming vehicles. Beach is first come first serve. 7 day camping limit. Free. Restrooms and dumpsters available. Boat launch area. No wake zone for swimming. Shallow water is great for kids and dogs.

  Perfect for a quick overnight stay

  The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

  OK for larger Trailers and Rv

  Great free camping located on Rte 66. Very clean. You must go through a gate to access camping. Be sure to close the gate. The site has lots of places to pick for car and van camping. There are only a few that would fit larger travel trailers. I would check it out before accessing the spots up the hill. We stayed one night down low with no problems in mid May.

  Forget it

  We followed the directions and arrived in an area where some mobile homes were installed, apparently permanently. No possibility to stay there

  Pull off spot

  Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.

  Beautiful remote spot

  Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.

  Right of HWY

  Stayed right off highway in big parking lot. Class C towing Jeep. Scouted out sites further up the road with Jeep but they were occupied even at noon. Appears to be a lot of permanent residents. Trash seems to be the Arizona state flower in the BLM dispersed areas.

  DW Ranch Road

  Quiet with beautiful views

  We came in just before dark. We couldn’t find any empty spots as easy access spots were scarce as we are towing a 26 foot trailer. However if you have a small 4x4 - you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a spot.

  BLM Dispersed Camping Havasu

  Good but know what your getting

  Coming from 95 the right side has long more private pull ins but it’s very hard to turn around, narrow, and very sketchy if you have low clearance vehicles. The left side is flat, easy to get in and out but is very crowded and not private at all. There was probably about 25 rvs, cars, and other rigs to the left. We drove pretty far back on the right side (as far as our car would get us) but ended up turning around and sleeping in the very first spot next to the road.

  Sandy and Stuck w/ Good Trails

  Super clean & well maintained. Not many places to turn around. Also super soft sand and rocks so we snuck in and had to be towed out 😩 I would stay here again but I guess I would need a different car. The location is super nice though.

  Craggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area

  Godsend on late arrival

  This was our first overnight in our new overcab camper truck rig, family of four with two young girls. Drove back about 2 mi, lots of folks, finally found a quiet area with even a bit of kale overlook, on a short offshoot road Left of the main, and stayed a very peaceful night. Not a place to stay all day, but good for boondocking. All the campers seemed respectful and very friendly. “No bad days,” havasu style;)

  Craggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area

  Safe, quiet, convenient

  As a solo female traveler, my main priority is safety and this spot was incredible. I stayed here for a week and already miss it. It’s 5 minutes from McDonald’s/gas for food and/or bathrooms and in that same area is a Walmart. Just 15 minutes down the road is the heart to lake havasu. Can’t wait to go back and stay there. There’s plenty of spots well marked. You’ll head up a dirt road for about a mile and then can go as far as you want. Verizon had 2 bars, so spotty but enough connection. I drive a 2WD sedan and had no problems on the road.
