Superstition Mountain AZ state trust dispersed

7 ReviewsAdd Review

South of the Superstition Mountains, this dispersed camping area spreads along several miles of gas line road on Arizona State Trust Land. Campers access the sites by driving slowly over uneven, rocky terrain that becomes particularly challenging after rain storms, with washouts and rough patches requiring careful navigation.

The area features numerous campsites of varying sizes scattered along the access road, including some large enough to accommodate multiple RVs. One reviewer successfully positioned a 36-foot and 39-foot toy hauler at the first site from the entrance, while another managed a 43-foot RV by taking the rocky uphill section extremely slowly. Sites sit well-spaced from each other, and some connect directly to OHV trails. "Woke up to a great sunrise and views of the Superstition Mountains," notes Sue B. after an overnight van stay.

Days bring steady ATV and off-road vehicle traffic, but nights turn quiet once recreational riders head home. T-Mobile cell service reaches parts of the area. Free-roaming cattle wander through the sites, which some tent campers find unsettling during nighttime bathroom trips. The location works well as a base for Gold Canyon Dispersed Site access or exploring camping spots near Queen Valley.

This free camping option suits RV travelers with sturdy rigs and off-road enthusiasts who don't mind daytime noise and livestock encounters.

Visitors often highlighted the spacious, well-spaced sites suitable for large RVs and peaceful nights. Many mentioned rocky access roads requiring slow driving and daytime OHV traffic, but found the location ideal for off-road recreation.

Ordinary spot with beautiful views

Stayed just one night in my van, late flight plus long drive the next day to my destination opened up possibilities to catch a few z's. It was super dark and pretty late when I rolled in, but I found a spot and got some sleep. Woke up to a great sunrise and views of the Superstition Mountains. Can't beat that!

Worth it after the rough road!

Beautiful and spacious campsite ---oh my goodness!! My fav spot ever to this date after a couple years of semi-retired dispersed camping. We almost didn't go on--there's a UTV staging area right off the road, & we pulled in, unhooked, and filled the rocky bumpy road, determing, Mike-the-RV can do this if we go slow. He did!!! Best site ever ...first one to the right after the rocky up and down hill. Spacious. Trails from the site. Beautiful! Our 43-foot RV did just fine as Kevin went super slow and carefully steered the best route up the road. Worth it!!!

Free Roaming Cattle

Sites are spacious and well dispersed, but the free-roaming cattle make this less than ideal for tent/car campers. It's a little unnerving to step out in the dark!

Great spots

We car camped for the weekend here. Liked how the spots are spaced out. Other than road traffic during the day it’s nice and quiet

Mineral Road Dispersed

Good location for camping not far from Gold Canyon AZ. Numerous different campsites of different sizes. A few large sites that can fit multiple RVs. We parked a 36ft Toyhauler and a 39ft Toyhauler in the first campsite from the entrance. A lot of RV/off road vehilce traffic during the day but very quiet at night. Good trails for OHV/Atv riding. Will visit again!

Fun place for ATV/Dirtbikes

Several miles of dispersed campsites along a gas line road south of the Superstition Mountains. Lots of folks out there on a weekend after a few good rain storms. Great place to ride your ATVs in the mud.

You definitely are going to want to navigate the roads slowly if you go far back. The roads are uneven and washed out in some spots.

We even had some cell service (T Mobile)
