When we camp near Ajo, Arizona we usually head to BLM land along
Darby Wells Road. We enjoy the scenery and dispersed camping there but we wanted to visit a friend who was camping a little farther south at Gunsight Wash BLM dispersed camping area. I've always had the impression that Gunsight Wash is barren and dusty. It's not! The scenery is not as pretty as it is along Darby Wells Road and there are few saguaros but there is a lot of greenery and the trees grow larger. Winter has been cooler than normal this year so the flowers and birds have been slow in arriving.
The area is almost level and the ground is very hard packed sandy dirt which makes it an excellent boondocking area for campers using wheelchairs.
The roads are dirt and one lane but they're in very good condition. Many large and level clearings provide access for any size RV and are great for people who want to camp together. We camped about 1/2 mile off of Route 85. The roads deteriorate a bit farther in but it's possible to find fairly isolated sites by driving past the 1/2 mile mark. Gunsight Wash 32.24068, -112.76128
Winter is very, very long this year! At least you're seeing a few flowers and birds, that's nice. This appears to be a decent enough camping area.
ReplyDeleteIt's been cool this winter but we can't complain when we see how much snow and rain everyone up north has been getting.
