Accessibility baseline: Sites on this platform are reviewed for access with a standard 2WD pickup truck towing a 21-foot travel trailer unless otherwise noted below.

Why this site is listed: Included as a transit campground on I-10 for the SE Arizona loop — splits the Guadalupe Mountains → Willcox stretch into two comfortable 3-hour legs. The rock collecting makes it a genuine attraction, not just a pass-through stop.
