![]() ![]() There’s nothing fun about blowing sand, scattered gear, and a flaptastic rooftop tent.Īfter packing up camp, we got lost when the road GPS wanted us to turn on was closed (Red Rock Lane), and ended up on a dead-end road near Silverbell Mine.Īlready tired and frustrated from a sleepless night, (and hangry to boot), getting lost ratcheted up my anxiety. We enjoyed two nights in our camp spot, but when the wind picked up on the second night, it was time for us to peace out the next morning. Navigating the rough, washed out roads was worth it though, as the camp spot we found felt a lot like camping inside Saguaro National Park. Last summer’s monsoon was a doozy, and it shows on some paths branching off Silverbell. This time, we ventured farther back into the monument and picked a spot with a view of the base of Ragged Top Mountain off Silverbell Road. That dispersed camping area, while rough and narrow in places, is suitable for most RVs. The first time we camped at Ironwood, we stayed off Pump Station Road. This area is 129,000 acres of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land with lots of scenery, wildlife, points of interest, and history worth appreciating. It was the second place we took our trailer after we bought it last year, and we’ve been wanting to get back ever since. Ironwood Forest National Monument near Marana, Arizona checked all our boxes. So it’s no surprise that, after not being able to take the squaredrop trailer out for a couple of months, we were feeling the ache for saguaros and solitude. However, if a member of the community finds one of these locations to be useful for overnight RV parking and creates an entry, we may approve the listing.Empty spots give way to out-of-town neighbors and all the horse mess that comes with them. There are enough Wal-Mart and truck stop directories out there already. We are not actively seeking Wal-Marts, truckstops or other parking lots and will not be adding very many of these. ![]() We hope you enjoy the same style of camping.
