Gunsight Wash Dispersed Camping

This was our first time Boondocking We were a little skeptical staying out in the middle of the desert. Upon arriving & getting set up it didn’t take long to fall in love with the views & peacefulness. There were many others camping as well. We felt very safe. We visited Organ Pipe Cactus NM while there. We would stay again. We would highly recommend you experience this.

We loved our time out here during early Feb 2023.

Super easy to get into from the highway and so many places to choose from for rigs of all sizes. It felt like a community in the desert here.

Lots of people walking dogs in the morning and evenings, riding their bikes during the day, and campfires in the evening.

Only downside is if you don't like military planes flying around during the day into the evening around 8 ish this may not be your jam. If you are intrigued by what goes on definitely stay out past dark and watch the strange lights fill the sky as you hear the planes flying overhead.

Super safe place that we will definitely visit again to explore more of Organ Pipe National Landmark.

We were first time boondockers, and a little leery of jumping into the unknown. This is a great place to start, plenty of room. Stay on the main road if you can find it bc bushes will scratch. We had to go through some bushes bc someone was blocking the road with their camper, ugh. Big rigs might want to stay towards the front. Little road noise at night but not bad. Night sky was really something to see and Organ Pipe is just down the road. We felt very safe.

We stayed here 3 nights with a 35' 5th wheel. Had ample space to navigate in with lots of parking spaces to choose from and be distanced from others. Clean, although people pipe trash near the entrance even though there is no onsite trash recepticle but at least not scattered throughout the area. Great location for visiting Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

BLM land 2 miles south of Why, AZ. About 12 rigs here during our stay with room for plenty more. Roads go in all directions and you can venture as far as you want off the main road. It's easier for the big rigs at the front but you can navigate around the brush to get anywhere if you want. These are flat dirt roads and fairly easy to travel.

This is off the main road to the border about 25 miles south. There are warning signs about smuggling and illegal entry in the area but the border patrol is all over the place. We didn't have the slightest concern. We were able to get 9Mbps download with AT&T and 2Mbps with T-Mobile. Enough for streaming TV and cell calls.

One of the days we camped was quite windy. It is a very dusty area so that made it an inside day for us. We were also able to spot woodpeckers, doves, quail and other birds. Our night security camera picked up what may be a fox but hard to tell.
