":) Nothing really in Why -- a gas station, convenience store and breakfast/lunch restaurant."
$20 - $50 / night

"We arrived on a Wednesday around noon, and the campground was about half full."
$5 - $10 / night
"The area for camping is a bit tricky to get into as it requires backing in and making a 45 degree turn, but there is room for full size class A or truck with trailer."
"I have found that this is a nice location. If you want to visit in this area, it is very conveniently located about three miles from the Organ Pipe National Park. There is a campground in the park."
"There is a day-use rest area across the highway, but please do not dump your trash there (AZDOT will charge the BLM to dispose of this trash, and that will mean that the BLM will have to start charging"
LegendThis is a cozy (read: tight spaces) park to stay in to catch up on laundry and get your RV chores done. It’s also nice that it’s in town and you can easily walk or bike out and explore the small cute town of Ajo(pronounced Ahh-ho, not Ay-ho). Keep in mind that being in town on a main road, this is not a quiet serene park. The noise from the neighboring auto repair business was extremely loud during the day, and there is car noise from the road outside the park.
Rates per website are$28/night but it says they offer Escapees, Good Sam, AAA, or Passport America discounts(though they do not appear not the PA website). Passport America is usually 50% off so we expected to pay $14, however, when we asked about it they said they offer too many discount programs to keep track and they simply discount everyone to $25/night. So in other words, the rate is $25.
In all the BLM desert land we have stayed in, we have never heard coyotes so loud and close as we did at this RV park. They seemed to be howling from all directions here. Watch your dogs here, though the manager of the park has a small dog that runs loose with him.
Park advertises itself as being pet friendly, but there is no dog park or dog walk in the park. We walked our dogs out to the street to go potty to avoid them going potty in front of someone’s space.
Our spot only had a 30 amp outlet, but judging by the number of large 5th wheels and toy haulers there I believe 50 amp is also available. Pull through and back in sites both available.
Park has wifi and cable.
Bulk propane available at $3.50/gal.
Laundry room was clean, one shower under construction and the other was dirty- would not use. Showers were 2.5 min per quarter, or 4 quarters at once for 10 minutes. No change or soap machine available, quarters available from manager per sign.
There are water and sewer hookups at each site, or there is a dump and water fill available as well. If not staying at park, dump is $7, water is $5, or both for $10.
Large trash trailer bin available, as well as a can for aluminum and a can for plastic beverage containers.
Good verizon signal, though cell service almost unusable in the evening due to high usage in the area. AT&T signal was weak but usable.
Pro tip: the Chevron across the street has a little separate food service establishment in the convenience store where you can get pizza, burritos, breakfast burritos, fresh baked cookies, etc to go! The pizza was surprisingly great! IGA grocery store also in easy walking distance.
LegendCoyote Howls East is the companion to the full hookup RV Coyote Howls west. Coyote Howls East is like a large dispersed camping area but with numbered long-term sites, bathroom shower houses, water spigots, trash dumpsters, and wifi at library bldg. No electric hookups or sewer hookups though..most folks are using solar. Cell service is excellent. Yearly sites are $850, monthly is $200, weekly is $80 and nightly is $20. Showers are coin operated .25c. Laundry at washroom #1. A RV black tank dump is also at wash house #3. All roads are fine sand dirt! Many long-term sites are eclectic decorated. Ajo is 9 miles and has grocery, hardware, etc but the close by jct of Why has a mini Mart, fuel, ice, and a very good mexican restaurant. Indian casino is also 3 miles away. This RV park is a good option if you are a boondocker and want to get showers, do laundry and stay put for a week or two and do not need electric or sewer hookups.
TravelerNice little park in Why -- because why not? :) Nothing really in Why -- a gas station, convenience store and breakfast/lunch restaurant. But it's a short (and beautiful) drive to the national monument and Ajo, if you need groceries or other supplies. Simple gravel pull-throughs. Not sure how really big rigs would do, but my little Casita snuggled in just fine with a decent amount of room around. FHU and decent cell service. Paid $30/night in cash. Nice view of the sunset and starry skies.
ScoutQuiet, peaceful and majestic. The sky at night is so full of stars. The cacti are taller than my rig. There are many hiking trails. The rangers have lots of educational opportunities. There is no electric but you can use your generator during specific hours. There are water spigots throughout the park however there's only a fresh water threaded water hookup at the RV dump station. My cell signal was minimal, I was roaming off Mexican cell towers however I did have calling via satellite. I was able to use solar and generator power. Definitely a place I'd return to, I'd love to explore here more.
LegendThis tribal RV park is associated with the small Desert Diamonds Tribal Casino. Both are small affairs. The RV park has water, electrical and sewer hookups, a propane refill tank and a very nice restroom/shower/laundry bldg. The RV sites have no shade. Why jct is close by and the tribal casino has fuel, ice and snack bar type food. Last year a tribal contact at the RV park said anyone could use the showers and laundry. Laundry is quarters machines. The only other full hookup RV park by Why is Coyote Howls West.
LegendThis is a very nice location central in the small city of Aho.
There is a large space behind the lodge for DRY camping. The charge for staying here is listed as a recommended donation. The area for camping is a bit tricky to get into as it requires backing in and making a 45 degree turn, but there is room for full size class A or truck with trailer. I Have a 24" trailer and there was also two Class A RVs there with additional towed vehicles. Parking lot is well lit.
Nice area behind the lodge for a dog walk along the old railroad tracks. Wi-Fi is available to lodge members in and near the building. I had T-Mobile and Voice coverage was Great, but data was roaming which was used up if a couple hours.
The town is only a very short walk from the Gallery which has a Market, Café , thrift shop, art gallery and Public Library (which has free computer access and Wi-Fi) Wi-Fi Can also be access from outside the library 24/7.
No big box stores or fast food in town, but there is Olsen's Market/Ace Hardware, Dollar General and Dollar Tree stores.
The Staff and Members of the Lodge are very friendly and food is served several nights a week. The American Legion has Dinner to the Public on Fridays and is only about a mile away. The Copper mine is well worth the view and the Museum is very interesting. (operates on donations).
I stayed here a couple days and when I needed to dump and fill fresh water, I went for the weekend at Organ Pipe National Park which was about 45 minutes away (Reviewed separately). then returned to the Elks Lodge for a few more days before leaving. There are also several RV parks and gas stations nearby where you can dump and fill Propane tanks.
This may not be in the Boondocks, but sometimes I like camping out near the convenience of civilization like the laundry mat near by.
I was here in December and the City Christmas decorations on the street lights were a nice reminder Christmas was near.
GuideWe had a nice stay at this campground. The hosts and rangers were friendly, the sites and restrooms were clean and plentiful, and the park was beautiful at sunrise and sunset. The stars at night exploded in the night sky. We'd never seen so many stars.
We arrived on a Wednesday around noon, and the campground was about half full. We had plenty of sites to choose from, and we were lucky enough to find one on an end that also had a decent amount of shrubbery to provide some shade on the west side of our rig in the afternoons. It was sunny and windy, so we were happy we didn't need the shade canopy and the awning wouldn't have done much at that angle anyway. All the sites are pull-through and face west (which is strange but I guess since the time to camp here is in the winter and campers want sun). Sites have a grill (ours looked brand new), picnic table, and the rigs sit on a concrete pad. No fire ring, but they do allow fires if you bring your own portable pit that's off the ground. We filled up the Airstream with water at the dump station when we got there, and the free solar showers were nice to have. We stayed in one of the three generator-free rows. Pretty much everyone in the campground had their truck or camper hoods up and undercarriage lighting on at night to prevent packrats from setting up shop. Yuck.
Wednesday through Saturday, there is a ranger program at 7 pm in the amphitheater. These were very well done and enjoyable. We saw one on desert flora and another on space exploration.
Hiking in the park is easy to moderate, but it wasn't very exciting to us Phoenicians as it was a lot like home. Luckily home is very pretty so it wasn't a big drag. :) There's an easy one-mile loops around the campground that is nice to do first thing in the morning or at sunset.
The campground is five miles from the Mexican border, and we could hear plenty of traffic heading south on 85 to Rocky Point for spring break. Other than the occasional coyote howl, that was really the only noise as everyone else seemed to head into their campers at 8 pm, immediately after the ranger program. To be honest, the campground had the vibe of a 55+ active adult community. Everyone was friendly but we felt a little like the record scratched when we pulled in with our adolescent children. haha
Overall, we had a nice, if uneventful and even a bit boring, trip to Organ Pipe.
GuideSemi private sites with cactus and other desert plants between sites. Quiet except for the guy next to me listening to audio books. Pull through concrete drives. Some of the restrooms have showers. Was very nice. Not hot but warm enough. Dogs allowed on some of the trails.
LegendThis 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.
