Willcox Lagoon Dispersed Site

Whatever it's called it is a very convenient place to spend the night.  Just a very wide road around the lake.  Find your favorite view and pull over .  I stayed 2 nights while  exploring the area.  Freeway, trains and birds.  None loud enough to bother me.  Some traffic during the day.  Quiet at night.  Good cell service.  Ill go back if in the area.

Great place to just pull over, enjoy bird watching & sleep peacefully listening to the birds! There are thousands of sand hill cranes here! What a beautiful sight!

There are no hookups or water at this location, the road is plenty wide enough to pull over & park for the night. Still room for two cars to pass at the same time.

Cons: it was very windy & dusty, but not a deal breaker for us.

So great. Got there at roughly 6 o’clock, took a shower, made food, got to sleep. There are some trains off in the distance, but I use my earplugs. I’m a light sleeper, if you’re heavy sleeper, you’ll have no problem.

And once again, the app paid for itself by not having to have to stay and then motel with roaches, etc. It’s mid May and it felt like the temperatures dropped into the high 40s and hover there until about 6:30 AM. Once the sun takes over the mountain, the heat skyrocket and you’ll want to be getting packed up pretty quick.

Everything is super dry, so unless you’re confident with campfires, you might want to not do that there were some flyers, but no scorpions, no thanks. But I did see holes, so I’m sure snakes will be coming out when the weather gets warmer.

Changed my itinerary at the last minute and found this free camping, had I know Wilcox was so cool I would have stayed longer. Super wide road circling the evap pond so room for any size rig with bird watching for days

Great spot for a night or two to listen and watch the sandhill cranes. Unfortunately some locals tagged my van with a paintball. Be cautious.

This location is near the I-10 and great for an overnight while passing thru. No amenities, and I wouldn’t suggest building fires or setting up long term camp. Gorgeous sunset/sunrise and huge variety of birds to view.
