This is the second time we have spent the night at this location as we are traveling West in our 5th wheel RV. About 4 miles off HWY 10 it is a beautiful quiet place to spend the night. Fantastic view of the mountains in the distance. You must have a Arizona State Trust permit to stay over night. Much cleaner than many state trust dispersed camping areas we have stayed at. We have made it a habit to pick up misc. loose trash in the area before we leave.

Very quiet. We were the only RV here for the night. Couple trucks came through. You do require an Arizona Land Trust permit. Grab one on-line for $20 for the year (12 month rolling year). No street lights, trains every now and again but low sound from train. Lots of trails to walk, easy access. We are in 23ft RV.

Needed a safe place to pull Off and sleep with my husband and our two kids. We were towing a tear drop. It’s very easy to find. You just need to grab a permit on the Arizona website for public land camping. When we came One other couple was there in their 5th wheel. Pretty quite. Some airplanes go over head sometimes.
