Road conditions become challenging beyond the second dispersed camping spot along Tanque Road, where deep sand and washed-out sections limit access for larger RVs. This Arizona State Land Department site accommodates multiple campers across flat areas with established fire rings, positioned before a steep, slanted hill and wash that marks the practical end point for big rigs.
Campers can explore nearby hot springs using side-by-sides or other off-road vehicles, though the route requires navigating bumpy terrain. The site provides mountain views in all directions with no natural shade, plus abundant firewood from previous structures. Cell service reaches the area, and the location offers dark skies for stargazing away from urban light pollution, making it suitable for places to camp around Safford seekers wanting dispersed camping access.
