Pretty exposed. No shade. Lots of fire ants so I wouldn’t suggest tent camping here. I have the option of car camping. So that works. And there’s a nearby rest area on I-17 to use the restroom, though it’s a bit of a drive. Right near montezuma’s well which is one of my favorite monuments. It’s hot. Be prepared.
Calm rest area. Well maintained bathrooms with nice picnic areas. Safe. Beautiful view. No complaints.
Absolutely magical! My tent got rained out but I just haven’t had the opportunity to waterproof the tent. When it’s not wet season I’m sure this would be just even more magical. The bathroom was easily accessible, fire pits are great. Picnic tables were marked up, but the sound of the River was so worth all of it.
This is a great place not far outside of Roswell. Great overnight parking/car camping place. Stayed by myself at the best spot available. My company was a tarantula hawk wasp, very large blue dragonfly, some desert ants and an owl hooting down in the ravine. Melt. It was warm, of course but with the windows down and a little neck fan to encourage airflow, It was alright.
