"Perfect location for a stopover or longer"

This place is clean, attractive, orderly, and has about everything you might want in a stopover RV park. This is my second time here, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I came back! Parking spaces are level gravel, separated by generous... Read more

"A real gem!"

I've been here before, and I can only echo the remark of a previous reviewer: "This is BLM?" It's a small-ish area, with campsites running along a ridge overlooking the lava flow which gives the area its name. The sites are mostly level, with... Read more

"Scenic spot, many sites, some sites not all that level"

Long preface: There are three camping areas in the Navajo Dam area: this one, Pine, is the biggest: 57 sites with electricity and water, 9 with full hookups, and 88 dry camping spots. Pine has three sub-areas: Main, Pinon Loop, Cedar Loop, and... Read more

"Basic camping at its best"

This is one of a series of Forest Service campsites along AZ 260 east of Payson. They are all now privately managed, which means that they cost a lot more than they used to. The nightly fee is $22; with a federal pass it's half that. Very... Read more

"Dusty and unattractive with museum exhibits and easy access to the border"

A previous reviewer referred to this as an "odd" little park. That's being polite. It's dusty, unattractive, confusingly laid-out, poorly signed, poorly maintained. There's some sad-looking museum exhibits which portray the relatively... Read more

"Wide-open, clean, quiet, flat park in the middle of nowhere, NM"

This park is about 25 miles north of Las Cruces, NM. Coming from the south, once you leave I-10, you wander through pecan groves until you get to Radium Springs. It's easy to get lost when you get close: my GPS app tried to take me to the... Read more

"Quiet, spacious, good views, hiking "

This is a great spot. Not spectacular, but pleasant and easy to get to. I was here in mid-February, and the sites with electric service were all full at noon. I claimed the last of the sites with no hookups, but that wasn't a problem. Because I... Read more

"Big open glorious empty country"

Just what I was looking for. I live in Tucson, so I may go back just to recharge from time to time when it's not full-on summer. As another reviewer noted, be prepared to be completely self-sufficient... there's no water, no nothing other than... Read more

"Convenient desert boondocking"

I'm not sure about this place as a destination. The landscape is pretty much dominated by the tailings pile from a defunct copper mine, and the rest is your basic mesquite scrub desert. It's not pristine, by any means: there's some broken glass... Read more
