"Always a great spot"

We stayed here twice, and loved it both times. Easy access to the camp spots, nice and grassy, and fairly quiet. We have never had trouble getting our big rig in, although watch out for dips and ruts in the road. Lots of bird watching, and the... Read more

"Boondocking near the campground"

We drove past the campground, and found a spot to boondock up the dirt road. There are several places to camp off the road, and getting a big rig there was fairly easy. The area is amazingly beautiful, and so unique with all the rock formations.... Read more

"Small, quite, clean"

We stayed here the end of July in 2014. We wanted to go to South Pass city, and this was the closest spot to camp. The campground is small, but well maintained with flat, easily accessible spots. Water is available, and there were bathrooms. I... Read more

"Easy access, close to town"

We have stayed off the Ogilby road a couple times in the last two years. Lots of places to boondock, flat ground, easy access for any size rig. There are always several other campers in this area, but it's pretty easy to camp away from other... Read more

"Quiet, and remote"

We just stayed here in February. I don't think I would go in the middle of winter again, fairly bleak and brown. But it is very quiet, lots of great solitude, and some wildlife watching. The place we camped was very easy to access, even in our big... Read more

"Nice spot, quite, yet close to town. "

You have to go down Vulture peak road, then turn off at vulture mine road. There were lots of hiking trails and dirt roads everywhere. It was fairly easy finding a spot for our big rig, it's obvious where the camp spots are. The road keeps going,... Read more

"One of our favorite spots"

We have stayed in the same spot off Plomosa road for the past 3 years. We like being further away from Q, and would rather camp on our own than surrounded by other people. Plomosa road is a good spot to find that. The roads that we have been on... Read more

"Beautiful and scenic"

We found this area after we had gone to palm canyon for a short hike. We went back with the rig a few days later and stayed. The scenery is amazing. The rugged mountains to the east are beautiful at sunset. It was rather windy though. We went to Q... Read more

"Great spot for enjoying the scenery"

The area is very green with lots of trees and bushes. And because of all the foliage there are birds, lots of birds. We don't normally see a lot of birds when we boondock in Arizona, so that is a nice bonus. It's pretty easy to get into, the roads... Read more

Running wild and free

I love seeing bald eagles; they are so regal. We can find them in Florida, believe it or not, at Cape Canaveral where they launch space ships. The workers at the Cape have created protected areas whe...
