Remote and Rough Road

There is State Trust land just off the main road. Free camping. I drove up this road for about a mile and camped. It was tight and had a ton of rough loose rocks. I was driving a Tacoma(not Lifted) and stopped about a mile in because the road got so bad. I hiked about another half mile back and came accross this amazing view of the valley. The Gila river has been busy back there carving some deep canyons.  I did not have signal.

peace and quiet

If you are tired of over crowded campsites you will love this place. No internet,no phone, no stress. Just peace and quiet, time to unwind, you are the only guests there. Nice camper to live in, clean and plenty of room. Heat and really cool air. Bring your favorite food, Cook inside or outside on a coal fired grill or over a wood fired pit. Plenty of nice dry wood for you to use. I cooked inside but ate outside at the picnic table. If you like the outdoors you will feel at home here. Lois Carroll
