Hackamore Road Dispersed
Apache Junction, Arizona10 Reviews8 Photos73 SavesCamping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.

We liked it there. Nobody else on Friday night, plenty of space
The typical rumble strip dirt road to this point but easily doable.

Dispersed camping near Crown King
Gorgeous secluded camping
Secluded dispersed camping in the woods just outside of the town Crown King. 4x4 is recommended, campsites are not accessible when snowfall has occurred. Beautiful wildlife including deer always nearby.
Saguaro Cove
Remote Camping
Takes a little 4 wheeling to get there or you can access it from the water. Basic dispersed camping but gets a little warm during the summer months. Views are nice and its a nice pack it in, pack it out spot.
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.
North Ranch
Can’t beat the price, but—
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.
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.
Lake Pleasant Dispersed Camp
Sign "No Mortorized vehicles allowed"
Could not Enter. Closed
Boulders OHV Area
Tons of spread out dispersed camp sites
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.
Crown King Area (Horsethief Basin lake)
Gorgeous secluded town for off-roading & camping
Gorgeous easy dirt road ~27 miles from i17/Bumble bee. (There’s also a much more difficult trail from lake pleasant that requires very experienced off-roading 4x4). Great food and drinks(alcohol) at the crown king saloon and Mimi’s Cafe. There are amazing camping areas just past the main town, and even all the way up near Horsetheif Basin which is about 7 miles past crown king(requires 4x4). There is also an amazing ~30 mile trail from crown king that leads all the way to Prescott called Senator Highway. This also requires experienced 4x4 and like the trail to Horsetheif basin, there are many areas that are only single vehicle width. Amazing weather all year round, but extremely limited travel available while snow is on the ground.
Leaf Verde RV Resort
The high life
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
Pleasant Harbor RV Resort
Beautiful Vista
Very large park with many different levels of camping experiences. From dry camping to full on glamping ! I stayed at Vista Pt. Dry camp. The views were beautiful. I stayed 10 days and as a single women I felt very safe. Security makes it's rounds and you can't get into the park after leaving without your pass. The one thing I would mention the drive up to the PT is rather steep, but there were different sized rigs up there is it is doable. I didn't use the amenities as I was away most days visiting with my daughter who lives in the valley.
North Ranch
Clean and easy-going
Staff was friendly and helpful.
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)
Goldfield Ghost Town Dry Camping
Camping for one night
Camping for one night and it was 30$. Very clean restrooms and showers!
We were almost only campers there and lots of spots available. Closest campgounds were full or expensive.
Saddle Mountain BLM (Tonopah, AZ)
Saddle Mountain
Great place to Boondock up to 2 weeks.
Sonoran Desert RV Park
Great Experience
Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to this very nice campground(CG). Check-in was quick, and we were escorted to back-in site 503 with FHUs. The sites here are long and wide enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450 truck. The sites in our area were also decently spaced for a private CG. There was also room for an OHV if we’d brought one. The guest WiFi works pretty well with a download of 6.73 and an upload of.92. Water pressure was good at 50 psi, and we got 4 bars on Verizon. There are a few trees in the CG, but we had a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink. They also have cable, but we didn’t use it. They had a very nice 4000 sq ft, sectioned-off dog park with two of the areas/corrals having grass. Behind the show/laundry/pool facility is where you drop off your propane tank for fills. They do not have a propane service that comes to the site. We were also impressed with their PETHouse sites where you have a private dog run. Their laundry facility was larger than most CGs of this size and it was very clean. There’s also a wash pad where you can wash your OHV or truck. Gilla Bend has a Family Dollar and a couple of small grocery stores plus eating establishments. You’re about 30 minutes from major amenities in Buckeye and an hour from Phoenix. We stayed here with friends for 4 nights and enjoyed ourselves.
Hackamore Road Dispersed
This area and the whole bulldog canyon are are closed for construction
The whole are is closed
White Tank Mountain Regional Park
Excellent semi-civilized experience
Pros:
- Well spaced campsites with excellent views in all directions (mountains and desert one way, iconic saguaros and city lights in the other).
- Cleanest flush toilets and showers (free) I've ever seen in a campground.
- Dish washing station
- Campsites are level, clean, and include a shade over a concrete table, fire ring, and hammock hooks for three.
- Trails throughout the camp into the greater park but the campgrounds separated from the more public trailheads. Strategically placed benches scattered along trails for coffee drinking.
- Wildlife: birds, coyotes, reptiles, etc
- The camp is close to civilization enabling quick visits to other attractions, and an easy drive to spring training baseball games.
- Camp hosts were responsive. They live on-site year round and treat the camp like it is a home. Very impressed with the team.
- Firewood available on-site. $8/bundle. Very dense wood that doesn't light quickly when wet but burns for a long time.
Cons:
- Struggling to come up with one. Probably hot in the summer. Busier on the weekends due to location inside the White Tank Regional park.
Vekol Valley Road
Nice place to stop
Easy to find an spot and lots of space for privacy. Got a rainbow
Anthem Dispersed Campsite
Nice boondocking area
There are quiet areas and also areas where people run ATVs and dirt bikes
Margies Cove West Campground
Flies Galore
Sight is nice and deep in the Cove. The drive is not hard but it has it's bumps and it's fun and pretty drivable for most large-suvs or 4wd Cars/Suvs/trucks. The spot is very secluded and in a big wide open valley. The mountain's block out a lot of light pollution from the City so it get's very very dark. Really windy during the day but all in all was an enjoyable spot that makes the journey fun as well as on the way there there is a 5-10 mile dirt road perfect for rally racing.
McDowell Regional Park-Ironwood
McDowell Regional Park EI Rowland RV campground
We stayed in site 27 which was close to the kids playground. We only stayed for 1 night . Lots of bikers at this location. We did do a short 3 mile hike and it was very nice on the Granite and then Wagner trail. Other than the camp host who was a complete jerk ( we arrived 5 minutes before 1 pm and the guy at the front gate said nothing about not driving in before 1 pm - there was a sign but seriously 5 minutes early is an issue, you would have thought I kicked his dog the way he acted )? A beautiful night and wished we had stayed a few more days. I think some of the best sites here are on the Pemberton loop 64,65,66, 68, 70. Unobstructive views but all sites pretty well spaced out and well kept bathrooms and showers.
Saddle Mountain BLM (Tonopah, AZ)
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.
Lake Pleasant Regional Park Campground
Desert Tortoise Campground
This review is for the Desert Tortoise Campground. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. Campsites are decent but a couple of shortcomings.
PROS Campsites have covered pavilions with a picnic table, fire ring, and gravel drives. Bathrooms are dated but clean and in good working order. Portable water is available at the rest rooms. Dumpsters are available.
CONS No hot water in bathrooms. No showers. Other campgrounds within the park had showers that you could use, but there was only one functioning bathhouse. No dishwashing station available. Boat noise on the lake is sometimes a disturbance.
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
