The Worst BLM Stay Ever!! Garbage galore, sketchy inhabitants and nothing Interesting to look at. Felt very unsafe!! Road noise from 6:00AM till 11:00 PM. No firewood to be found but lots of junk lying about. No nearby services that you can find easily. I would only use this BLM Under emergency conditions!!

Convenient free area to explore Saguaro National Park, Tumacacori National Historical Park and Tucson. Ample room in between the Creosote Bushes for any size rig. Close to highway 86 makes this place noise. Lots of broken glass scattered around.

I stayed 1 night on the west side of the hill after a day in PIMA and on my way to Organ Pipe National. There aren't really any 'roads', I'll call them paths and they are rough, not maintained. I had no issues, closest group was 100yrds away and it was quiet. I likely wouldn't stay longer, but I'd stop there again.

Despite it being crowded all the time, this is a sketchy location, someone stole our generator, water pump, and surge protector right out from under our RV in the middle of the day. Luckily we put an air tag in the generator, tracked it down like detectives, and got it back... but I would never stay here again and highly recommend keeping a close eye on your possessions if you do because this is common for the area!!

As others have mentioned there is quite a bit of broken glass. It is bad in some areas but not other areas. I took a poppy bag and picked up as I went. If everyone would do that it would help over time. Otherwise it was a really great experience. Love the cliff right next to the area.

This spot was easy to get to, level roads, but lots of broken glass on dirt roads. Good for tent camping stayed in late December. Close to town but very noisy because of that. Pretty views.

This is a nice area and relatively close to things to do, but it gets very crowded. Doesn’t seem to matter what day you travel in, I first stayed at an rv park down the road and periodically checked to see availability at this site and the traffic was pretty consistent. Not your typical BLM in the sense of privacy, this is a hot spot and you will probably be close to neighbors. I like to explore BLM sites and hike local trails, I found this spot rather boring. Still a great option if you’re looking for a free place to post up.
Edit- see recent updated review!!

Please don't let the negative reviews deter you from at least trying this spot! We've been travelling the entire country for the past 3 years and this is one of our favorite locals! The things we particularly love about it- It's free (hello!), the proximity to Tucson and all of its amenities is pretty incredible, cell service and data is great, and there's plenty of space to park (and walk around) with great sun for the solar panels.
The last time we were here, there was someone (I'm presuming a ranger or a volunteer) cleaning up trash, so the trash was a non-issue. Other times it hasn't been great, but nothing that would deter me from staying here.
If you do choose to stay here, might we recommend getting donuts at the Shell gas station at the nearby Casino del Sol. They are technically from the Estrela Bakery, but they are by far the best donuts we've ever had. Enjoy!
