This place is permanently closed.

Report Check-In

closed. no one took care of it and trashed it.super sad to loose another free BLM spot.

Report Check-In

Super sketchy, loads of trash, one burnt out husk of a vehicle (see photo)

Report Check-In

This looks like permanent camps of people living in trailers. Garbage everywhere, a burnt down trailer… does not feel safe at all. Really not good. I rather spent 30 on the Goldfields Campground close by

Report Check-In

Appears to be home to several full timers. LOTS of trash, one burned out husk of a vehicle and the dirt road is in pretty terrible shape so we couldn’t explore too far. Can’t speak to the overall safety but it just felt sad. There’s National Forest just up the road.

Report Check-In

Not recommended. Lots of noise from campers. Drumming, hootin’ & hollerin’ (some with drummers, some not.) One couple screamed at each other until other campers asked them to be quiet… and got yelled at for interrupting. I don’t feel unsafe. I’d leave if I did, but it’s not a pleasant place to have a quiet evening. Too bad, bc the setting is pretty.

Report Check-In

Very rough in spots. More road noise than I expected being somewhat rural. I didn’t dare cross the bigger wash, with my fwd van, to look for nicer spots. Tons of trash in the bushes and washes. Seemed to be a bit like a homeless encampment. Nice view to the east of the nearby mountains. Overall, I’d give it a👎👎. Only stayed one night, no issues, but vehicles (OHV’s? in/out at all hours of the night)

Report Check-In

Public land. Turn left on Nodak Rd and left on Mckellips Blvd for easier access. Quiet. Pretty clean. Nice people around. Please let’s pick up after ourselves. Better: leave the place in a better shape that you found it.

Report Check-In

Public land, pretty clean right across the street from Goldfield Campground. Nice people around. Turn right on Nodak Rd right before the campground and then turn left on Mc Kellips Blvd. You will see on your left many dirt roads. Take one and choose a spot. Plenty of space. Please let’s pickup after ourselves. Better: leave the place in a better shape that you found it.

Report Check-In

Lots of potential, but unfortunately covered in trash. Trailers and vehicles with lower clearance may have a hard time but there are some spaces towards the front that we accessed with our 24ft tt. Picked up 4 bags of garbage but there was still lots of broken glass. Seems like some people live here but they did not bother us during the week we stayed. We left our trailer unattended (with a lock) and had no issues. Very good cell signal, minimal noise from the road nearby, great view of the sunrise behind the mountain.

Report Check-In

A messy place. Very stange pepole here. Not recommended.

Report Check-In

Pretty cool place, but definitely a little sketch. A guy just stared at me while I was looking for a site and couple minutes later someone was setting off fireworks. Didn’t last long though. No major issues. Just a little weird.

Report Check-In

I stayed the night here after a day hiking around the state park. amazing day and sunset. outside of the road noise, as I parked at 1 of the many spots not far from the road, it was a very quiet evening. good strong cell service (Tmobile). there was a few campers that looked semi permanent, but they were spread out and was still plenty of space to find a parking space.

Report Check-In

Sites near entrance have trees but many are messy, seem occupied by long-term residents. Drive further as and few to no trees but cleaner. Good view.

Report Check-In

Forgot to add a picture of the power line running thru the area

Report Check-In

As other have mentioned, lot of people living out here, lot of trash. Surprisingly it has not been shutdown? Spent one night. I would not use this location

Report Check-In

Good area to camp out for a little bit. The first several spots are occupied by campers that appear to have been there quite a while. One has a couple old junk cars in the space. There are some spots covered in trash. But if you keep driving and go past the larger dry river bed, there are several great spots with a great view. Have stayed a couple nights (including holiday weekend) and haven’t had issues with noise at night. ATT service is great, too.

Report Check-In

Amazing views of the superstition mountains! However, as many folks mentioned it’s a trash laid an area that doubles as a homeless encampment for many people here.

Report Check-In

Plenty of room, we had 40 vans there without having to be too close to each other. Lots of trash in the area so please leave it better than you found it. A local drive by and said BLM wants to shut it down because of all the trash.

Report Check-In

Beautiful views. Only downside is the flies. They are absolutely awful. I have straight talk wireless that bounces off Verizon towers, and I have had full bars of fast service.

Report Check-In

definitely feels like a homeless camp. lots of garbage and broken bottles all over. was here last year and it was great. All sites looked a bit sketchy and 95% were full

Report Check-In

Tried to get our 38' 5th wheel in here but had a tough time turning around to get out when we couldn't make it through the 2nd wash. If you have a big rig and don't get into one of the first few spots, you might be out of luck. Also felt a little bit like a homeless camp...

Report Check-In

Same as everyone else. Nice door. Verizon was 3 bars not 4. Quiet….mostly. I’m not a fan of blarring, thumping music. But clearly others are. I parked as far away from as I could. The advice above about the washed out riverbed is real…DRIVE VERY SLOW and you’ll be fine. I have fwd 2011 Ford transit connect and it was ok. But once get passed that the road is much better. The first few spots were 5th wheelers …and they’ve clearly been here a while.

Report Check-In

There are a lot of different places to camp. Be careful crossing through the dry riverbed. Took a 40 ft fifth wheel camper in. Just a few others camping. Quiet. Full Verizon service.

Report Check-In

quick turn off 88 right before the Goldfield Ghost town. Past the first couple of spots you'll have to cross a small wash for more spots. Easily done in the Promaster. 4 bars At&t. Great view of the Superstition Mountains

Report Check-In

Love it. Close to the ghost town (which has a saloon) and lost Dutchman state park. Was fun to bike there. You can camp near the turn off but the views are better in the back across the wash. Made it to the back there in 2wd sprinter van just fine. Food TMobile service. Gas station 5 min drive away.

Report Check-In

Beautiful spot to stay the night, or multiple nights.
Some road noise in the morning, but quiet otherwise.
Quite a few other people scattered around, but everyone is respectful.
I had no problem with my 2wd van

Report Check-In

Turn left .8 miles after mile marker 199. You will cross a couple washes but my 2WD sprinter 170 did just fine. Keep going and you’ll end up on a hill with a view of the ghost town and the Superstition Mountains. Rangers did rounds both days and overall area was clean. Trails connect with hackamore rd and bulldog canyon.

Report Check-In

Stayed here another four nights and had no issues. The garbage piles we saw last year have been cleaned up and no unruly neighbors this time. The views of Superstition Mountains seriously cannot be beat. We caught the most epic sunset of our lives here! No amenities. Good cell service on ATT. Free!

Report Check-In

stayed the limit of 14 days here be aware sheriffs are enforcing the stay limit due to people abusing that limit. trash is a big issue, i picked up my camp site leaving it looking way better than when i found it. be warned lots of atv n horseback riders use this area regularly. also can b hard to find a level spot definitely arrive in the daytime.

Report Check-In

after staying one night I had been visited by the sheriff's 3 times. they said I was good for 14 days but there seemed to be police presence non stop. prolly not an issue for most by I like to be left alone. really nice spot too.

Report Check-In

seems it's been cleaned up. went back pretty far off the main road. saw 5 other campers out here. clean and fairly quiet.

Report Check-In

We spent 4 nights here and really enjoyed ourselves, however there are a few pros and cons.

Pros: Beautiful view of Superstition Mountains, established fire pits, mostly private, close to town, good cell service on ATT, free. We drove passed the wash and took the first large spot on the right.

Cons: There are obviously people who have been staying here a looong long time. The people who occupy the first few spots once you turn off the highway have filled them with garbage, junk cars, and RVs. We also heard two loud domestic disputes between other campers/residents. We still felt safe and would stay again.

Report Check-In

14 night stay signage.
Quiet, about 20 spots off the road way.
Semi-rutted road, but go slow and easily drivable by RV, car or van.
