Pump Station BLM

Very spacious, clean, free camping spaces. Good to explore Ironwood Forest Natl Monument. But dry camping only. You have to be self-sufficient. Beautiful views.

I enjoyed boondocking here with my travel trailer. Quiet. Lots of spaces. Dirt road to get there, will be dusty when dry. Glider- port next door, expect minor air traffic on weekends. Views were good. I had great ATT & Tmobile service while here. Most of the ground is flat and solid, not very rocky. Very slick mud when wet. I stayed here twice and enjoyed both stays. Would stay here again.

We have stayed at pump station a couple of times, on the last few years. It's an extremely rough road going in or out. But once in a spot, it's a very quiet and peaceful place. More or less it dark sky territory. We had a decent cell signal. All-n-all, nice place to dry camp. Certainly, far less people than plamosa rdnin Quartzsite.

We will be back. A lot. We stayed for a week. Magnificent! Left before the rain came in and area was going to flood. Otherwise, we would have stayed for another week. It is between the glider and a parachute glider club, so you see those occasionally. A little airplane noise, mostly small planes, but not often. Peaceful AF. Very dispersed while we were there. Weekends in warmer weather may be less dispersed, but still, nothing like the crowds in the parks. Lots of paths to walk. Dirt road getting in is pretty good, a little washboarding, but very passable. (If not flooded)

Coming in from El Tiro the gravel road is rough. Just took it slow. Beautiful scenery! Don’t leave water out for the dog 🐶 bees were everywhere quickly🐝 it unfortunately I had not had this happen before. Vinegar is supposed to repel them😢not true… killed a water bowl worth of bees ( I’m so sorry🫶🏼🐝) but the peace and quiet is so nice😎 spaces spread out so even your neighbors aren’t too close!

excellent winter camping spot, We stayed for about 9 days. Another reviewer mentioned bigger rigs could park right off the road, which is true but we found if we took the side road to the west just a little bit you could get decent sized rigs a little bit off the beaten path. For example I have a 30 foot travel trailer and saw some massive 5th wheels.
