Came in on Friday and left Saturday morning. The old airstrip is a big open space you can pretty much park anywhere and squat. No privacy and no real camping sites. Generators were going all night and a groups campers had music blaring and yelling most of the night until 3am. When we left there was multiple cars already there and coming in with side by sides and atvs, motorcycles, etc. There is a lot of trash and horse crap everywhere. At night there is tons of light pollution from Phx.
Road has a little washboards but can be passable with a passenger vehicle.
Pros could be nice views of Bradshaw mountains, launching point for OHV, accessible and easy to find, cell reception, and trail access close to the lake.

Of course there’s a lot of atvs and dirt bikes at this location but it’s a nice site to stay at for free. There’s also donkeys that like to heehaw throughout the night lol but they didn’t bother us inside our van.

Couple of things. This is an OHV area first and foremost, so with that understanding, yes, there are numerous vehicles in the area. If you setup camp in the parking lot you can expect to get vehicles, exhaust, dust, etc.... Also, there will be partying and nonsense going on.

Couple of things. This is an OHV area first and foremost, so with that understanding, yes, there are numerous vehicles in the area. If you setup camp in the parking lot you can expect to get vehicles, exhaust, dust, etc.... Also, there will be partying and nonsense going on. Okay, that being said, there are numerous roads and trails in the area that allow you to get away from nearly all of that and have a nice, peaceful time out camping. As you enter the Airstrip, there is a road off to the right, we took that and if you only go as far as a 1/4 mile or so, there are many great locations to setup, find a small tree for some shade and have at it! If your more adventurous, you can find spot that are even waterside.

Overrun by loud atv's that speed and kick up so much dust you can't see 10 feet in front of you. One ran into my vehicle. Lots of gun fire and campers right next to each other. No privacy.

Overrun by loud atv's that speed and kick up so much dust you can't see 10 feet in front of you. One ran into my vehicle. Lots of gun fire and campers right next to each other. No privacy. About 6 miles of rough dirt road to get here. It's passable for big rigs if you go slow but why would you want to camp here? There's less noise and pollution in Phoenix. This might have been a good spot a year or two ago but not anymore.

This place was amazing. There are lots of sites if you follow the trails around. It gets a little noisy with side by sides but it is an OHV park. There are hundreds or wild donkeys around that you can hear heehaw all night.
