Great for beginners

Very short drive from civilization. Semi developed sites are a good way to break someone in to tent/car camping. Full restrooms and showers nearby. Usually clean.

You can even hit one of the restaurants at the lake.

Primitive camping on the shoreline is cool and still not too far from facilities.

Oasis in the desert

A dozen or so free tent sites. Tables, fire rings, grills. Vault toilets. Campers under 20’ should be okay. Larger RVs should consider a spot back off seven springs road. Going too much further up the road isn’t a good idea for RVs.

Road in is pretty good. Some washboard. Most vehicles will make it. I’ve done it several times in a compact car.

Late fall to early spring is best.

Zero cell service.

Different kind of place

I’m a local so I’ve made this trip more times than I can recall. While I’ve never actually used 4x4, the last couple of miles are no joke. Higher clearance is a must.

Take water. TAKE WATER!

If you can find them, there are trails that will take you east, beyond Alamo lake, into Aguila. From there you could take the Aguila road all the way to the Wikenburg/Vulture mine road.
