Camp Spot (BLM)

Very nice roads were alot smoother then I expected them to be. Definitely busy with atvs but all the riders are extremely respectful. Very quiet for as many people out here. Definitely will return. Almost forgot did see some wild burritos.

Beautiful desert landscape. 4 wheel drive is a must for anything beyond the main dirt road. Swimming is accessible on some coves, but would be best suited for adventurous types. Donkeys everywhere! So cool!

Just over 4 miles of washboard gravel road at about 5-10mph. We arrived just after dark on a Saturday night in early March. Lots of folks already there partying. Still had an easy time finding a spot to set up for our one night stay. The low-key partying and generators stopped about 0100. The rest of the night was peaceful and quiet except for the occasional burro calling out in the dark. The off-road vehicles, generators, and a powered parachute were up with the sunrise. The camp spot is deeply rutted, which reveals conditions when it's been raining. I wouldn't even try it until it's been dry for a few days. It was interesting to see the Saguaros with a lake in the background! Would likely stay again if going for more than one night next time. But it's a long way to go on a primitive road just for one night. On a sad note, we were really disappointed with a few campers that were chasing wild burros in the dark with their vehicles.

Excellent Camping location. Easy to get too. Lake Pleasant is within hiking distance. Wild Donkey are hilarious and coyotes can hear off in distance but have yet to see them. Plenty of space lots of spots even off the old air strip. This is a new favorite camp 4sho.

It's a great riding spot but really busy.

Plenty of places to park for free. It's BLM, so no services or amenities. It seems to be a gathering place for the off-roaders to run their ATVs and dune buggies. The roads are pretty rutted up and bumpy, so getting to a site can be an adventure. When it rains, the desert parking spots become a real mud pit. We saw wild Burros. There are some good hikes. The real downside is the amount of garbage that people have left everywhere. Please pack out what you bring in, and maybe an extra garbage bag or two full. There are no places to get rid of garbage, or to dump your grey and black tanks in that section of the state, so be prepared for that.

Hot as heck but quiet and secluded. Great view of Lake Pleasant and the abundant wildlife. Beautiful sunsets and burrows to wake you in the early morning hours!!

Very rough road to get to and entry Right turn into it is not Cow Creek crossing but French Creek GPS has it wrong
