The Steps Dispersed Camping

We stayed here for 4 nights in late January and early Feb 2023. Great spot to base out of to explore other areas.

There were enough people around to feel safe yet not so many you felt crowded. We camped on the third "step" from the top with our 28 foot Airstream and had no trouble getting it up or down from there.

We do recommend getting out and scouting the route up if you are going to do it, because there were several paths that led up to the spot we wanted but only one was doable for our low clearance.

Be careful coming in off the highway, the drop off from the pavement to the dirt is substantial and probably the roughest part of the track back to the camping areas.

Had traffic noise from Hwy 95 during the day but it settled down nicely at night and the stars, full moon were amazing to view!

The views are hard to beat. But it's dusty, hot, windy, and noisy, as Hwy 95 is really a race track. You really ought to buy an Arizona Trust family permit ($20 +$1 annually). Trash is accumulating here, and it's not things we campers can remove, really.

Great stargazing, few bugs.

Really good Verizon - 50 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up. We got stuff done!
Recommend if you use USPS General Delivery for packages, you use the full street address like this:

% Lake Havasu City USPS General Delivery
1750 McCulloch Blvd N
Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403

(USPS doesn't like us using the street address for General Delivery, but if the company uses UPS or Fed Ex, they like to mess with USPS now, and will intentionally lose or delay your delivery for a week.)

This is a site enjoyed by ORVs, mostly side-by-sides, so dust and trash.

Two things first:
1:This “is” a permit site. It’s on Arizona Trust Land and your have to purchase a permit. It’s good for one year and it’s 15.00 for a single person or 20.00 for two or more. Other reviews on here say it’s free or nothing about it, so I thought was free and found out the hard way. The sign has been knocked down.
2: Really pay attention to the GPS, because you will not see the entrance until your right up on it and have to turn very quickly making people behind you “not very happy”
This is a perfect place if you want to stay in between Parker and Lake Havasu City. The views are beautiful (except the big power lines)
Hiking and off road trails
Great cell coverage with both Verizon and ATT

Kinda can’t go wrong with any of these boondocking sites along road to Havasu. All easy access and plenty of room so take ur pick. This spot was nice because if u can get up to some of the higher sites you have nice little view of water. Yes little sketchy getting up there to some spots - but we got to great spot about halfway up with a 1985 Airstream motorhome! Totally doable - just scout best route beforehand. Did not obtain permit and didn’t really see anyone enforcing it. If we did again I would choose one of the other boondocking sites closer to the main Havasu area where bridge is etc - just for convenience. And def be careful entering and exiting any of the boondocking spots - speed limit on road is 65+ and people behind you are NOT expecting you to stop and take a turn off.
Had little fun trying to find our spot in the dark after a night out in Havasu....Haha! Take note of gps coordinates!

There are plenty of places to set up camp right off of US95, but if you want to stay for more than a night or two and don’t mind a bumpy ride, setting up on one of the terraces/steps further away from the road would make the stay here more pleasant. The higher you go, the better the views. 4WD roads for ATVs or mountain bikes. Short drives Lake Havasu City and to day-use sites on Lake Havasu, Bill Williams NWR, etc.
