Bureau of Land Management maintains this dispersed camping area along Tanque Road, providing free overnight stays on public land outside Safford. The gravel and dirt access road leads to scattered camping spots where visitors can set up without designated sites or facilities.
Cell service reaches the area, and campers can bring pets and alcohol. One reviewer noted the isolation factor and proximity to Hot Wells. Nearby Tanque Road offers additional dispersed options just over three miles west. The area works well for self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive conditions and seeking solitude away from developed campgrounds.
