Vulture Mine Road South Dispersed

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting just off the highway on freshly graveled access road, this free dispersed site on Arizona State Land sits roughly 4.5 miles from the Safeway in Wickenburg, making resupply straightforward. The site is a large, open, flat area with rock fire rings but no toilets, no trash service, and no tables. A livestock corral and water nearby mean campers should expect cow noise and associated smells. Cell signal is reported as very good. Campers need a $15 Arizona State Lands permit before arriving, and highway noise carries into the site.

Ok, but on AZ State Trust land

Access road is fresh gravel so better than 2024. Large open flat area in middle close to a livestock water and corral, so cow noise and smell. Free dispersed but need the $15 AZ lands permit. Cell signal is very good. No toilets, no trash, no tables...just rock fire rings. Close to the hwy so some hwy noise. Some Campers look to be folks that work in town. The other dispersed camping area a bit to the north closer to town by the cell tower may be another good spot. Only 4.5 miles to the Safeway in town.

Only 2 stars as the area is no scenic and had beat down vegetation, cow crap smell and general vibe is ick.
