Remote dispersed camping defines the experience at Tule Well, where campers access sites via unpaved roads within Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages this drive-in location, which requires visitors to navigate desert terrain to reach camping areas.
Dispersed camping here means no designated sites or developed amenities like restrooms or water hookups. Campers must bring all supplies and pack out waste. The refuge setting provides opportunities to observe desert wildlife and vegetation patterns typical of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, though specific regulations may apply for wildlife protection during certain seasons.
