Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Campsite nestled between mountains and a river. (McDowell Mountain) stumbled upon it at night. Free to park and stay overnight, there are other RVs and car campers, secluded area.. dirt road to get through but I had no problem in my sedan.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Warning: Right-hand lot is filled with very deep gravel to help with flooding. Only one path is hard-packed enough to safely go in and out, and you can't tell where it is. My Class B got stuck and I had to be towed out. Center and left lots are safe.
After that first day of getting stuck I moved to the center lot and stayed for a few more days. The Verde River is only visible from a few spots but you can hear it everywhere. The area is surrounded by real trees. It doesn't even look like Arizona.
People seemed to come here to party a little. Campers were generally a little noisier with talking and music. Things were quieter during the week.
A Tonto Forest pass is required. I tried getting one at the Circle K's and Walmarts on their list but no one knew what I was talking about. I eventually gave up and just camped there and no one checked for a pass.
Most spots only had one bar of AT&T so I couldn't use the internet or send texts with images.
Report Check-InThis place is not free. Purchase of Tonto pass required to stay here.
This is essentially just a dirt parking lot for a recreation site. might be good for a night's stay if you already have the Tonto pass but there's no privacy here since it's just a big parking area
