Saddle Mountain is an amazing place to stay. There are lots of trails for hiking or mountain biking, and a few ATVs but they are not bothersome. The various roads that take you closer to the mountain can be quite rocky so keep in mind your vehicle clearance while driving in. 

The further you get away from the eastern side the better, as that is where people are shooting. Only heard gun shots a couple times while we were there. 

There are so many good spots to choose from here. The ground is a bit rocky but there are some spots with smoothed out surfaces that would be good for tents. 

People in other reviews have complained about flies swarming and being an issue due to a poultry farm nearby but they were not bad. A few pesty flies but nothing to drive us away. We probably got lucky with the wind direction while we were there.

There is some road noise if you’re close to the main road but otherwise it's not bad. There was minimal trash around and we packed out some extra when we left. 

There are many other RVers here, but the area is so spread out and open that you still feel like you have privacy.  Closer to the mountain the spots are closer together, so for us the sweet spot was midway between the road and the mountain - quiet and secluded.

There are only a few chollas but they are further up on the mountain so it is fairly safe to let your dogs run free without having to pick cholla spikes out of them. 

If you are into rockhounding then Saddle Mountain is your place for chalcedony and fire agates. You’ll see several people walking around multiple times a day with their heads down searching for these very cool gems. 

Good Verizon & ATT, 4 bars 

Another perk is that down the road about 5 miles is a place called Saddle Vista Ranch where you can dump and fill you tanks and dump trash for a fee. The guy is really nice and he’s got friendly pigs and chickens and tortoises you can visit. We paid $15 plus another 5 to dump a garbage can full of trash. There are cheaper places to dump but this is so convenient that it is worth it especially if you are planning on staying a while in the area.  

Nearby in Wintersburg the General Store there has bulk propane and a small convenience store, and a Dollar General on the corner.
