Apache Park and Trail
Great Host, Amazing Views
Al is an awesome host who met me at the gate and guided me to the site. The night sky at his place is incredible, away from city lights. The location's history adds to its charm, perfect for exploring. What made it even better was making a new friend during my stay. Al creates a friendly atmosphere that enhances the experience. Overall, Apache Park and Trail offers a peaceful getaway with welcoming hospitality and stunning views. Highly recommend it. Thanks, Al, for the great time!

Tent camping in December
Al was a fantastic host. We drove in from Tucson and arrived about an hour late due to traffic… he met us at the Exxon and had us follow him about two miles north down his dirt road to the campsite. Very well put together. Had a fire ring, a bench, a table, and a trash can… as well as hundreds of open acres to enjoy the night. Al is an incredible person and I would 100% stay here again. Thanks Al!

Desolate Beauty
Absolutely beautiful is the only way to describe it. Al Uthman really gives you the keys to his kingdom. I hiked all over his land, went shooting, went wheeling in my Jeep (on the trails of course - no need to destroy pristine land!) and just had an absolute blast. I am an avid camper, and of the hundreds of places I have been, this is one of my favorites. The views are of desolate beauty, the sunsets are incredible... nothing like sitting on a hill with a hot cup of tea watching the sun go down. There are friendly cows free ranging the area ( I got to pet a few) and I saw all kinds of neat critters, even a rattlesnake in brumation that came out to sunbathe. A friendly kangaroo rat hung out with me at camp. The last night, a pack of coyotes sang me to sleep maybe 100 yards from my campsite. Al and his son were super friendly and accomodating, and I had zero issues during my stay. The wind does whip through the draws and valleys sometimes, so stake down well and don't leave loose items that could blow away laying around, the land is beautiful and pristine, if you go PLEASE don't litter, I picked up the few trash items I did find from past campers. Just a tremendous breath of fresh air. Thanks to the Uthmans for having me, and come springtime, I will be back!

Beautiful private location. Make sure you speak with Al before arriving. Google maps took me in circles.

I loved staying at the Apache campsite. Al was a great host. We loved the location, and the privacy.

I never actually found the site. The host did try to contact me early in the morning, but I missed the call. When I attempted to find the site, I did try to call, text, and email but could not get ahold of him. The written instructions gave an exit but then google maps only wanted to take me on to VERY prominently marked "no trespassing" roads.
