Within Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, Tule Well provides dispersed camping opportunities managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This remote desert location requires advance planning, as the refuge operates under special use permits and access restrictions. Campers must be self-sufficient with water, waste disposal, and navigation equipment. The area sits in Arizona's Sonoran Desert landscape, where temperatures can reach extreme levels during summer months. Those exploring the broader region will find Papago Well located further east for additional camping options.
