Just off highway exit 151 on AZ I-40.

Camping on north and south side. North side was way busier. Stayed at both. I enjoyed both as a tent camper.

Great location easy access

Very easy to stop by when we where om the road and just needed a place to sleep. Open fields gave a nice view. Very close to the highway so easy to stop and continue our journey. Stayed in an rv, so the level surface was nice.

All in all good place to stay for the night.

Not a bad spot for the night

Stayed here one night. It’s relatively nice to be so close to 40. The road is a dirt road, so just making sure that’s listed. I parked relatively close to the highway (there’s about 15 campsites) so there was a lot of highway noise, one of the only reasons I’m giving 4 star. If you drive further back there are more secluded spots that might have less noise… wouldn’t recommend driving too far back if you have a big rig. Road may be muddy if there’s been a lot of rain, but it was very well maintained while we visited. Camping up to 14 days is permitted.
