Good spot off the highway

Great campsites. Plenty of sites and well spaced. There 2 or 3 sites right off the highway, but if you continue down the road there is a larger area with plenty of other sites. Small shrubs and tree around that give privacy from other campers. The road was easily navigated by our sprinter van, but there are parts of the road that are a bit washed out. The road looks like it may flood in certain months of the year.

I would hesitate bringing an RV past the first few sites, but could be attempted.

Note: please pack out trash. Some sites were littered with trash and there is a clear sign going into the area asking to pack out trash.

Dispersed Pull-Off

Was looking for a spot to get out of Phoenix for the evening and this was a good pull off. Plenty of spots with fire rings. No off-road capabilities needed. There are a few spots by the creek.
