  Cosmic Campground - Dark Sky Sanctuary

  Loved it. Easy to get to.

  Arrived just after dark.  Kept my headlights off as I drove in as I didn't want to disturb others.  I saw a small pull off for a spot, and I took it.  In the morning, I discovered I hadn't gone all the way to the actual campground.  Lots of places for people and almost no one here on a lovely Friday evening in November.  Easy access for my 25' RV.  Highly recommend.  We were able to see the milky way (faint), satellites, and 3 shooting stars, all in about an hour.

  Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area

  AMAZING

  I have been full timing in my 22 ft travel Trailer for 2.5 years.. this easily is one of my fav spots. Camping is $3a day near the hot wells but outside the recreation area, is all BLM camping. Hot wells right next to our spot were amazing. I just wish they were working all 24 hours a day. The wells are pumped by a solar pump so cloud coverage or night mean the solar pumps aren’t pumping. But they fill up about an hour after sunrise and about an hour after sunset it drains. We were the only ones there for 4 days. It was awesome

  Cottonwood Campground — Roper Lake State Park

  It is a beautiful view of the mountains

  Sadly, there is construction going on in the park right now. It is windy and cold. The sites are pretty private and there are nice picnic table covers. Unfortunately, the dump station is closed for a while.

  Cottonwood Campground — Roper Lake State Park

  Quiet, well maintained state park

  This is our second time staying here and they have started doing some upgrades to the park. New dump station and some new bathrooms and shower houses. We stayed in the Hacienda loop both times. I like this loop better because it doesn’t seem as crowded as the other loops. Sites are well spaced and level. Nice hiking trails around the lake also where you can fish. Very close to Safford and Thatcher that have a great number of stores.

  Treasure Park North — Coronado National Forest

  This place was a bust!

  The paved road turns to dirt road about half a mile before the turn off. Pretty bumpy. Once we arrived we drove the loop and saw no pull off spots for our RV.

  Buffalo Crossing Campground

  Love this river and area

  The location is wrong! This is the coordinates - 33.76672° N, 109.35443° W This was so much more beautiful before the Wallow Fire. Please put out your fires! I grew up not far from here and always enjoy coming. There are small trout in the river and Big Lake, Crescent Lake, Mexican Hat Lake, Reservation Lake, and Lee Valley Reservoir all close. There is picnic tables, potable water in tanks if needed, vault toilets, fire rings all in the campground. The marina store at Big Lake and Crescent Lake both have stores with firewood. At the time of the posting, the camp host at Diamond Rock campground had firewood for sale not far up the road. Watch the corners going in and out as the OHV guys drive pretty fast and the road is narrow in many places. Bear Wallow Cafe is in Alpine and I recommend the pie!

  Riverview Campground

  Quick Night by the Gila

  The road in turns to dirt for a brief minute, then back to paved. It winds and there are some tight turns. You turn off the pavement to dirt the last 1/4 mile. Wouldn’t take anything over 35’ 5th wheel. $5/night is not bad to have vault toilets, water spigot, picnic tables, river close. Biking trails, horse trails, hike trails, OHV trails all close. There are corrals at the “Host” site. There is a boat ramp 2 miles before the campground. There is one farther up also. Not sure about at the campground. No Verizon signal here.

  THE SKY

  Not many spots. Had to squeeze in between a couple people. I’d say there are about 20-25 spots in total if you don’t mind being a little close. What amazing 360 views of the sky. You feel like you are in a globe.

  Owl Creek Campground

  Nice, quiet stop along 191

  A small campground overlooking the Gila River. Only about a half dozen sites but very lightly used and isolated. $5 fee. Closest stores are in Clifton, and the little station in Three Way. The road to the campground from US-191 is dirt, but easily passable by any vehicle that isn't a lowrider. Good condition. 

  Gravel tent pads, awnings, grills, firepits, and clean restrooms. No hook-ups or water/sewer. Decent T-Mobile service, nice BLM Ranger checked on us both mornings. Woke up to the mine blasting one of those mornings, but that wasn't entirely unexpected. 

  Overall a great place to stay, would recommend.

  Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area

  Great Stop

  All the facilities are very clean. $3/night and you have two hot wells to soak in during the day. This is a recreational area for OHVs so expect to hear people having fun on the weekends.

  Clark Peak Corrals

  Beautiful Views and Vault Toliet

  Nothing beats the summer Arizona heat like escaping to the top of the Pinaleños.

  At 8800 ft elevation, this corral and campsite offers amazing weather in the summer and gorgeous views off the edge of the mountains.

  Be prepared to bring in anything you might need, including water. There are only about 3 campsites located near the vault toilets, but their are dispersed sites further down the forest road.

  This forest road is gated off during the winter months and this area is not accessible.

  Hannagan Campground - Apache Sitgreaves National Forests

  cool and crisp

  stayed here mostly to do some astrophotography as it’s almost 10k ft elevation and almost perfect bortle 1 skies made this a pretty ideal spot, i’d suggest bundling up as it gets pretty cold most nights of the year but was freezing when i went in october. definitely a wonderful and secluded campground.

  KP Cienega Campground

  I love this little campground

  This campsite is a repeat location for family. I almost didn’t even want to post a review so I could keep it hidden. Located right next to a large meadow, we almost always see elk or deer. There is also a nice trail next to a creek but the path was over grown when we tried to hike down it. The road down to the campsite is in good shape, but the sites are small. Perfect for 1-2 tents.

  Vault toilet and no other amenities. Bring water.

  This is a popular site for hunters during elk/deer season. We often find carcasses and bones around the site.

  Hannagan Campground - Apache Sitgreaves National Forests

  Lovely Little Campground

  This is a great campsite that is full of amenities for FREE (donations accepted).

  There are just a few spots and they are first come , first serve. We enjoyed chatting with the camp host and taking a walk along the hiking trails.

  At over 9000 feet elevation, this is a great spot to beat the AZ summer heat. The sites are nestled away among the tree and feel very secluded considering how close together they actually are to each other.

  Great for tent camping or a small camping trailer. Site have picnic tables, vault toilets, and drinking water

  Heaven on earth!

  We came out here to enjoy NM for the weekend so we stopped here to enjoy the views and the night sky, I’m amazed how few people are out here! If you have this place on your bucket list of places to stop, do it! It’s beautiful.

  Bighorn Campground

  Good location

  It’s dry camping only meeting no water and put toilet. There are 12 sites with tables, fire pit, and barbecue reasonably level. Why a good location, because it’s between catwalk national recreational trail and the ghost town called Magpllon town

  Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area

  Amazing!

  This is my second favorite campground. I'm a nomad and there is nonpotable water access and vault toilets. 1.50 a night with National Park Pass. It is SUPER windy most days so be prepared. Very secluded. One hour to town. Only three people in 7 days have driven by the campsite. The ranger and camphor were two of them.

  Cottonwood

  Decent overnight stop

  Only three spaces, 1 up front closer to Hwy 180, 2 in the back. Clean pit toilet, fire rings and picnic tables, no fee. Dry wash along side that looks to carry water sometimes. We were the only ones there on a Friday in July. Fair amount of road traffic but mostly stopped after 10pm. Nothing special but a fine place to stay the night.

  Hannagan Meadow

  Beautiful little campground!  Just 7 sites, walking distance from Hannigan Meadow, access for a nice trail to Aker Lake right in the campground.  Some mild road noise from 191, but very peaceful stay.  Every site will fit a small rv or tent.

  Great little campground!  Only 5 sites, just one that you can get a small rv onto.  Over looking a beautiful meadow.  Couple miles in off 191, dirt road was in great shape.  Very secluded and quiet.

  6/30/2022, 7:00 pm, completely empty. Nice little campground, high enough elevation that it was noticeably cooler than lower elevations. Heavily wooded, super quiet and secluded. I was able to easily get a 24' class C in and manuever around.  Dirt road in from 191 was in great shape
