Large area with plenty of room to choose a spot. Had to pick and choose an entrance as some were steep for our 5th wheel. We lived watching the hot air balloons morning and evening.

We’ve been camping here as snowbirds on our travels but this year it’s exploded. Used to be a quiet spot near town to stop on our travels. Nearly three times as many people here compared to past years and it’s getting crowded. A great spot if there weren’t so many people.

We’ve been camping here as snowbirds on our travels but this year it’s exploded. Used to be a quiet spot near town to stop on our travels. Nearly three times as many people here compared to past years and it’s getting crowded. A great spot if there weren’t so many people. And lots of dogs, some running loose which is never a good thing this close to open desert. We hear the coyotes frequently in the area. Can’t figure out why all of a sudden? Is it online reviews attracting people? Are parks getting crowded and expensive? Don’t know but we’re moving on.

We went a ways down the road, right before the road turns. Plenty of spots and you could be spread out from your neighbors. Got a bit busy once the holiday hit with loud people parking nearby but I imagine that is not the norm, as we had it to ourselves most of the week.

We went to Pleasant Harbor RV Resort that someone mentioned in a review below to dump but they no longer allow outside dumping or water refill. BLM dump station about 15 miles away from this point as an option though.
Great cell service. Tmobile was fast enough to work, video call, stream, and game on.

“Big Rig friendly”
Reviewed 2/10/2023
Quiet place, lots of space, windy when we visited. Safe places to walk the doggies, cactus were large enough to see/avoid.

Great area; we will be coming back. Tons of room, flat and excellent 5G, as well as being close to town and close to Lake Pleasant. The land permit was $20 and it covers 14 days per year. Lots of rv's parked everywhere but it's easy to find a site without being close to someone else. There are several access points so pull into the main area and take your tow vehicle or ATV and go explore a bit before deciding on a spot. We felt safe being out here. Hot air balloons flew overhead this weekend. There seems to be a lot of trash and depending on where you camp, you might hear some road noise but it hasn't been annoying. We also were able to get several local stations on our tv (no internet needed).

We loved it here. It was our first boondocking experience. We found a HUGE spot and there were several more so it IS big rig friendly. There are several road accesses, I'd just scout a spot first if you can. Just go slow, we did fine. Every morning we were greeted with hot air balloons. It's quiet and peaceful.

Permit required. Spoke with the Sheriffs as they patrolled. They stated that there was a new emphasis on keeping to the 14 days per year. They were recording all vehicles into a database so they could track use over time for compliance.

We chose a spot away from the New River highway and past the wash. Trucks would periodically pass going to the farm at the end of the road.

This is a great place! Very wide and open as the others have said :) You can be near people if you want or like me you can go further down to have privacy. There are quite a few people out here right now but everyone is spread out and so far have been respectful and quiet. You do need a permit, I bought mine online for $16 and then... more

You do need a permit, I bought mine online for $16 and then printed it at the Walmart up the road for .18 cents.
