We did several mountain bike rides, and trail runs, there are so many trails everywhere. It was great in November, there were very few people the camp host said they get busy in January. I suggest staying away from the wash area so you don’t get stuck. You head around the bend and you will see dirt road to the right.

You need to check in with the Dome Rock Campground host at the entrance to get your 14-day free permit on Dome Rock Road, then head to Cholla Road GPS: 33.6493, -114.28, there are a lot less people staying off Cholla Road.
Next, we headed about 158 miles to the famous Quartzsite. We have returned to this spot 4 times now. We love this spot, so few people its like having a campground to yourself. No water, no hook-ups, no RV dump but it’s a great spot. There are good trails for mountain biking and trail running. They have fire rings, picnic tables, trash cans and ancient petroglyphs. Since I have an Access pass this is an awesome stop for $4.

You can stay here for free for 14 days, were stayed here two days and did a few bike rides and runs through the desert.įrom here, you have 51 miles to Painted Rock Petroglyphs (GPS 33.02437, -113.04543). We found a great spot away from the freeway and away from the trafficking route with no nearby neighbors. Don’t stay right at the entrance of the area as several people came there to shoot guns, we recommend going down the road and to the right. You need to be careful where you camp if you go too far South you are in the drug and human trafficking route. There is decent Verizon cell coverage between 2 to 3 bars. Our next stop off old Highway 84, about 60 miles from Picacho, is Lost Horse Tank BLM area (GPS 32.8411, -112.3244) that is in the Sonoran Desert National Monument. We were under whelmed and won’t be coming back for the price. There is an RV dump here, no potable water. I really enjoyed the hikes make sure you bring walking sticks, gloves and wear hiking shoes as it gets rocky and steep and you will use a steel cable to climb up a rocky steep area. For $30 a night, we feel it’s a little over priced and suggest just do a day trip to do Sunset Vista and Hunter Trails. You need to bring your water or fill your 5-gallon water jug with a 64 oz water bottle in the ‘wash your dishes sink’ and do gravity fill. Be aware there is no water in the park even though there is electrical spots and water for showers. Picacho Peak State Park is about 49 miles west of Tucson.
