Darby Wells Road – BLM Boondocking

  This is a beautiful area with mountain views, saguaro cactus and palo verde trees. You just have to ignore the view to west of the huge copper mine tailings. The open pit  mine, located south of the little town of Ajo, has been closed since the 1980s. We were planning on visiting the mine overlook but failed to spot any signs pointing the way. There’s also a little museum that we missed. :- (

  The boondocking spots are fairly level and suitable for any size RV. If you have a large RV you may want to check the area out first with your car. There are a few really nice spots a short way in on Darby Wells Road, very close to the Route 85, but after that you’ll have to drive about a mile on badly washboarded dirt road.  Boondock
