Something not right?

Description

Primitive camping is allowed in the refuge at designated sites with numbers. Free, no registration required. Refer to maps at kiosks for locations of campsites. On the Arivaca/Sasabe Road. About half way between the 286 junction and Arivaca. We stayed right off the road in a nice, level spot. But the well graded sit road runs north and south and has a zillion pull-offs along the way. Very easy camping for everyone from big rigs to tents. We tried to camp at Arivaca Lake but the last 3 miles of the road was terrible. Rutted and washed out. We couldn’t find the lake. Took a wrong turn. Decided to forget the whole thing and drove the 20 min. to this spot. 3bars ATT 4G

90 some sites on various forest roads. Decent access. This place is huge and the provided map is not very good. Can only stay is designated sites. I never saw another vehicle. Verizon signal good at #17

Site number 87. Just adding that there is a strong LTE cell signal here. Very nice this time of year.
