The washboard road leading to this dispersed camping area demands patience, with campers reporting a 40-minute drive to cover the final 15 miles on Middle March Road. Forest Road 687 extends for miles through Coronado National Forest, offering numerous pull-off sites with established fire rings scattered along the route.
Multiple camping spots provide varying levels of privacy, from open areas near the road entrance to more secluded sites tucked into side canyons. Christie S. found "unique sites in personal canyons" with walking paths that open to expansive valleys and dry riverbeds for exploration. The road crosses several cattle guards and washes, with conditions ranging from embedded rock to loose gravel surfaces.
Campers consistently note the expansive views toward the Dragoon Mountains and report excellent stargazing conditions due to minimal light pollution. Cell service reaches two bars with Verizon in many areas. The sites accommodate various camping styles, though reviewers advise against bringing large RVs beyond the first few spots where the road narrows considerably.
Plan for a slow approach on the primitive access road, and consider the road conditions when selecting your camping vehicle for this remote mountain setting.
