Twenty-eight miles southeast of Aguila, Wayside Oasis RV Park sits in Arizona's high desert, positioned as the primary overnight option between Alamo Lake and Wickenburg. The campground operates on a dirt runway layout with both full hookup sites and dry camping areas spread across the property.
Campers frequently use this location as a base for off-road vehicle activities, with side-by-sides, ATVs, and dirt bikes common throughout the property. The on-site bar and restaurant serves what reviewers describe as solid fare, with several noting the food quality exceeds expectations for such a remote location. nancy notes "Close to Alamo lake, not a smooth trip into this place, dirt road," highlighting the access conditions that define much of the experience here.
The facility includes showers and a dump station, both available for fees, along with laundry facilities and a small store. Full hookups provide electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs, while dry camping options accommodate tent campers and those preferring a more basic setup. Proximity to Alamo Lake State Park Campground makes this a staging point for lake activities.
Winter visitors often establish longer stays, creating a community atmosphere among regular guests. The remote location means bringing supplies from town, as the nearest full services require a significant drive through desert terrain.
Description
The Wayside Oasis has been a hidden treasure in the middle of nowhere for decades. Originally named the Wayside Inn, the restaurant and RV park was visited by mostly lake visitors. As the Wayside became more known, the news of the excellent food and accommodations spread and the Wayside, although still remote, has become a favorite stop for lake visitors, hunters, ATVs and travelers alike.
Conveniently located near beautiful Alamo Lake, The Wayside Oasis offers its visitors an array of activities to enjoy: camping, fishing, ATV trails, geocaching, hiking, gold panning, photography or just enjoying the tranquility of the beautiful desert.
