Pretty nice and many more places if you have 4x4 otherwise just a handful of spots close to road but not too noisy at all. Gas and even a Dairy Queen only a mile away and dollar general is about 3 miles away but feels secluded

Arrived at the dispersed camping sight on Super Bowl Sunday just before noon. Nice nature and fairly easy to find a spot to setup on. Was hearing some small gunfire, but figured it would slow down since Super Bowl was later that day. Boy was I wrong. It just got worse, by 3pm it was full 3rd world war. Full heavy automatic fire until 9:00 at night.
Most disturbing was the whistling of ricochet as the rocks from the mountain was sending them all over the place. Figured that Monday would be fine, but full auto started at 6:45am. Packed up and left, should have done that 20 hours earlier. So sad, it was pretty and nice setup for a smaller rig.

Quite a bit of traffic starting early in the morning going to shoot at the base of Desert Peak, Very responsible gun owning shooters getting their practice in. The noise didn’t particularly bother me. I appreciated the flora and fauna, the closeness to Picacho Peak, and the gorgeous sunsets along with the very peaceful night.
Definitely not dog or small child friendly with that much Cactus and some broken glass.

There were only a few sites. We went to the back where there was room, but didn't want to stay at a shooting range in a weekend. Rough road in places, 4WD suggested.

Drove into here late one night at 10pm having no idea what to expect on a holiday weekend. It was completely empty and easy to find. Would like to go back when we have more time to stay.

Anything other than the ONE spot near the entrance (to the left) is a no-go for our 34’ 5th wheel. We made the mistake of continuing on past the first site...lesson learned. We ended up having to back out of trails only suitable for trucks/Jeeps. Scratched our TV and RV in the process.

Heard about this from friends so checked it out. Pulling a 40' fifth wheel so disconnected and went back in to check out what was available. Friends, there was ONE spot that I could have made it to close by the entry. Road got funky and narrows thereafter with native vegetation and scrub which will scratch your larger rigs. Also once in not a lot of space to turnaround. Was on a weekend so a lot of tents and smaller in size setups for those target shooting; which seems to be a large percentage of the patron demographic. I'd come back here again because; as others have pointed out; of its natural beauty and remoteness. Only thing that would prevent me would be the small handful of spots near entry for larger rigs such as mine.

We were running out of daylight after taking a side trip to Biosphere (well worth it, listen to some podcasts for the fascinating back story). There are many roads branching off, and we had one to ourselves. Perfect place to watch the sun set and enjoy a cocktail before bedding down.

As the others have said, yes, there is shooting here. It didn’t bother me and stopped before the sun went down. Skip the first few sites and go about 1/3 of mile (shortly after the fork, stay to the left) then off to the right is the best spot ever. Large open semi grassy area with big trees.

Skip the first few sites and go about 1/3 of mile (shortly after the fork, stay to the left) then off to the right is the best spot ever. Large open semi grassy area with big trees. This whole area is thick with huge Chollas and Saguaros and many other awesome plants/cacti. I loved it here. Five star privacy and surroundings.

Good spot. Folks we’re shooting nearby, but didn’t seem to be an issue. The roads are a bit rough, so I wouldn’t recommend for a trailer unless you can get a spot closer to the road.
