Something not right?

Description

My posting on March 18, 2021 needs to be removed. Our GPS took us onto a different road (Scenic Loop Road) to get there and that's what I was writing about. If people go from West Rocalla Ave. in Ajo they should be fine.

great little 360 degree view and park up top on a flat concrete pad with rock fire ring. nice enough to do a few days here. 3bars VZ

Beautiful surroundings with lots of options for a place to stay. Only one other camper out here…and they are our friends! Site known locally as “the slab” has a LOT of broken glass around. Close enough to Ajo to run into town for groceries or a good coffee at Oasis or Curley’s Coffee. Decent coverage with Verizon: 2-3 bars.

Honestly can't wait to come back here. Cactus heaven & mountain views to boot. Little roads all over to spread out and find more private spots, but I came on a Friday night and only saw two other rigs, so I parked in a spot right on Rocalla. 2 bars LTE Verizon.

Edit (2/18/23): Back again and man, I must have gotten lucky last year - there are dozens of campers around! Still just as beautiful.

We have a jeep towing a 1972 trailer (18ft). We came in from Ajo from W Rocalla and then along Alley. It was pretty treacherous for us as the road was narrow, winding and had some sudden steep hills. We hit our trailer hitch on the ground coming in on our way up a steep hill. We made it, and it probably isn't that bad for vehicles that aren't towing (ie RVs, buses, truck campers). Coming from the other direction (from Darby Well and Scenic Route) has had dips filled in, so it should be better. BEAUTIFUL place to camp!! Us and the dogs loved it!

Road in was maintained (dirt) with some washboarding. We went in about 3 miles and found a nice big pullover for 2 vans. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful mountains. Had a coyote serenade but no visitors. Verizon WiFi was good.AT&T not so great.

Great area. Road is narrow, winding, and steep in some parts. Don't be put off bc I drove my 20' skoolie in without any problems. Just go slow

BLM land with free dry camping for up to 14 days. Very scenic and quiet. Several mountain bike trails in the area. Camped with cell tower visible in distance and had 4 bar Verizon service.

We were headed for this spot but there was a dip in the road at about 2.7 miles in from route 85 that was impossible to make in our truck camper. A jeep drove that road later and there were tail pipe marks on each side of the dip. We ended up parked just before an earlier, smaller dip at 32.338164 -112.858311. There was room for two rigs and it was quite scenic.

Probably one of best places I've camped in AZ! You get to camp free in place with most all varieties of mature cactus just feet away, great rock formations, and just 4.5 mi to beautiful town of Ajo. Best groceries at Olsens IGA on north side of town, and just beyond in Belly Acres RV park where you can stop in for a 50 cent hot shower! Many dirt roads in walking distance with more sites; be sure to explore. Easy day trip to Organ Pipe NP, but think scenery very similar. This is better than 5 star!

Beautiful quiet spot just minutes away from Ajo and about an hour from the border crossing at Lukeville.

Incredible BLM camping! Scenic 360 degree views and sunsets. Not too crowded, plenty of space to spread out.

Plenty of spaces to park out here. Gorgeous views of Cacti.

pick your spot, it's a huge expansive area with only a few RV dotting the landscape. In Ajo 11min away from where I'm now at is an IGA store for all your shopping needs.

Amazing desert camping. Spent Christmas here and it was beautiful, warm (for the middle of winter) and very secluded yet close to town. Will return here every time we’re in southern Arizona. Some really amazing spots deeper in if you have 4x4. Rarely saw anyone else besides a few motorcyclist.

We did not follow the directions to the end but as stated many places to camp-everyone is quite separated, quite lovely

Nice little spot among the cacti. Gravel road which is a little slow going but 4 wheel drive is not necessary. We found a spot with plenty of room and fairly level.
