Customer Reviews
Beautiful boondocking sites. Water available at Empire Ranch. No dump station nearby. Pack in pack it out!
Ruined when the managers decided to chain strip the campground of beautiful shades trees. I get it's a ranch and they likely want browse for cattle but leaving the trees in a campground IN THE HOT WINDY DESERT--no brainer. Also nearly never patrolled and so many people either overstay the 2 week limit or tag team, communicating with friends who come and take the spot immediately as others leave. There's a lot of land out there and it's time to add a dozen more sites spread out so it maintains a camping/nature vibe and not an RV park ambiance. Lots of cow dung. If you hit it right with the right neighbors you can enjoy peace and stars galore.
It was crowded with wealthy campers in expensive RVs. It was a bad vibe But, it's a pretty location. Make sure to load up on supplies as it's not convenient to services. The unpaved road is not bad.
No amenities. 8 or 9 spots on the empire ranch studded mosquite trees and shallow arroyos overlooking grassy plains. Great spot to chill and enjoy the scenery. Dogs on leash. Paved till the last Mile or so. 5th wheels Will fit.
Very beautiful scenery. Lots of open space and room to roam. There are lots of sites and places to walk. The sun rises and sunsets are amazing! A great spot to camp near the Tucson area.
