Vicksburg Dispersed Camping

We were so excited and thought this was a hidden gem on our way to Phoenix. Once you turn off the highway you are met immediately with a cattle guard an 1 set of train tracks. After this the road is very well maintained and graded. The terrain has a gentle slop because of the surrounding mountains. There were other campers with off road vehicles but this was not a issue because of the distance between campers.
The sites are level and we easily levelled our units. The train tracks where far enough away. We heard a train at night but it really did not disturb or sleep. We only heard one train in 4 days. We rode our bikes on the off road tracks and had a lot of fun. Seeing the various desert cactus and vegetation was enjoyable being our first time in this area.
Good phone coverage no issues, a local elderly man came by in his ORV and he share info about the area. The area is clean an we would defiantly return.

Not certain what the problem was with the review of sneaking out early. There’s no rule about staying 14 days if you stay. BLM rules are that you can’t stay more than 14 days in a 30 day period.

Relatively flat, of course dusty, rocky, and you can hear some traffic from the road. We camped one night, a Tuesday. Incredible vista all around and brilliant sunset, sunrise. Stars would be incredible during new moon. Any moon phase is otherwise too bright. The dim glow of the Phoenix metropolitan complex soils the eastern horizon after dusk but the rest of the sky is beautiful. All the natural beauty and no neighbors. There were two rigs there when we arrived and two more drove in later in the night. Vast camping areas so no one close to us. Peaceful and restful.

Gorgeous... was alone until sunset when a camper van came in, about 300 yards away, (and left at sunrise). Tons of space. Heard 2 trains, only one blew its horns. Gravel trucks came down the road about 100 yards away, (from my site- would be farther from most others), but they didn't start running until 8 or 9am. Would definitely go back!

TURN RIGHT!! Gravel Trucks haul fast with big clouds of dust down that road that goes straight all day. After pavement ends make the right turn. Miles of parking. Perfect for people like me who are still learning how to back up. Because you don’t have to.

This BLM spot was a pleasant relief. I just came from Quartzite, Lake Havasu, buckeye, Pichacho Peak and Tuscon BLM areas over the last 2 and a half months. This is my favorite spot of all. It’s clean, quiet, smoking T-Mobile service, short drive down dirt road, no domestic abuse yelling, no drug paraphernalia and you can pee in your front yard in peace without any ATVs kicking dust in your face.

The Salome restaurant was excellent and had a huge menu and desserts. There was a Mexican restaurant 3 miles, 2 Truck stops 9 miles and a road runner market 15 minutes. Quartzite is 30 minutes and Phoenix airport is 1 hour 30 minutes.
