The playa is one of the winter roosting grounds for large flocks of sandhill cranes so we were hoping to see them coming in for the evening or leaving in the morning. Somehow they snuck past us because we heard them but we never saw them. There’s a short trail but I don’t think it goes close to the roosting area. A zig-zag entrance to the trail blocks animal access and also blocks wheelchair access.
Primitive camping is allowed in the parking area which is fairly large but has some rough spots with potholes. The traffic noise from Kansas Settlement Road dies down at night. Some reviewers are disturbed by a noisy pump at one end of the parking lot. We didn’t notice it but that may have been because we had all of our windows closed. Playa 32.1419, -109.7569

This camping area has to be better than any RV sites in Willcox itself ... like the one we stayed at a few years ago, we were between the RR and the freeway. Between a rock and a hard place!! Thanks for the heads-up on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's better. We really dislike RV parks, mostly because of the narrow sites and the view of the neighboring RVs.
DeleteThrow in the cost and RV parks become even less inviting ... unless you need electricity.
