Right on the River

A lovely county campground and picnic area on the Colorado. Dry sites are closest to the water. Super clear restrooms and showers. Dry sites have picnic tables, BBQ grills, but no fire pit. Lots of green grass. Large open grassy area with day picnic sites. RV sites are separated from dry sites. Friendly staff. Note: Close by (1/4 mile?) Hidden River RV Park has a convenience store. Also note: Hidden River is more of an ATV/motor boat/beer drinking environment. Not my thing.

Salton Seaside

Arrived after dark (5/8/21). Six big RVs and one tenter in this big campground. Trees provide shade; some sites have ramadas. Water available throughout. The beach has a moonscape quality. Sunrise over the lake lovely. Trains go by during the night (tracks are very close by), but didn't bother me. I'll return to spend a few days.

Windy and beautiful

Campground is somewhat exposed to wind. Trails lead out from campground to canyons and peaks. Clean pit toilets, no water. There's a horse corral with four pens. Road up is dirt/rock -- could by tough with snow/rain. Several stretches are one lane with occasional turnouts. Wind was very strong so ended up going back down the road to the better-protected Reef Townsite Campground.

Buff Breasted Flycatcher

Ventured up the narrow dirt/rock road to this fantastic site in the Huachuca Mins during spring bird migration. Campsites are among tall pines, nicely spaced. A short trail leads to the edge of a cliff overlooking the desert valley. Loop trail with interpretative signs tell the story of the area's short-lived mining operations. Across the road find the Old Sawmill Sprin4g Trail 3/4 mile up to a spring (on the left) before the intersection of Carr Peak Trail. The 5-mike road up was in good condition -- my Dodge Caravan handled it slow-but-sure. However, rain / snow could quickly change the road.
