Yes. There are several roads around Saddle Mountain. Take your time. It will be very hot. No trees to speak of.

You should be fine just take it slow. Don't venture off the beaten path and stay on the highway side of any and all washes. If it were to rain pretty good, it can flood in a hurry. Always leave yourself an out.

Yes, but look for flat areas. There are some that are rocky and would nit advise to camp in those areas. It is very hot now and would wait until late fall.

You can get any vehicle down the roads but the farther you go the rougher the road gets. Plenty of camping options toward the front.

Depends on your driving abilities. Several of the areas looked to have fairly good rocky roads. Others have quite a bit of larger rocks and boulders to work over and around. Go slow and watch where you place your tires getting over rocks. When I doubt, stop and walk ahead to check the road.

Yep - as long as you don't mind getting it dusty and perhaps "pinstriped" - and it's hard on your suspension.

There are several primitive roads that go back into the Saddle Mountain BLM area from the paved road. Some of them are pretty rough - both the entrance and the roads/trails. There are, however, a few that were in pretty good condition every time I have been there. These tend to be a bit further from town. You will probably have to be selective about where you drive in that BLM area, but there should be places that you can access without difficulty in a Yaris. Just be prepared to back up or turn around if the road starts deteriorating as some are really rough.
