Yaqui Offgrid Camping

We had booked this site because it said it had wifi, and a shower. Three out of the four people in the group didn’t have 3G because they were visiting, and that was why we were booking campsites with wifi so they could keep in contact with family, but turns out they weren’t able to. The shower is a pump shower (which we were all fine with) and was filled off dirt so we didn’t feel comfortable using. And the toilet doesn’t have a door. But for $10 a night it was good, just not what we all expected.

It was my family first time there and we had fun Tammy was a great host I will most definitely return soon

Very quiet place, and nice view. The campsite is a bit difficult to reach, though. I would recommend only if you have a 4x4 because the access road is really rough.

I'm sorry you had difficulty or you consider the road rough quite the opposite I drive a 328i BMW and drive that road every day with no problem. Thank you, Your camp host Tammy

Hi,

De wanted to stay at Yaqui offgrid for one night as a stopover in our way to Grand Canyon. Sadly there is no address for this site and Google does not know it as well.
After some help of the Host we found the right direction, but the roards were getting worse and worse. First it was gravel roads then it turned more into rocky pathes and in the end we simply had to give up as our RV could't handle this very Bad way.
The Host was telling us that normally People have no Problem in finding the spot and have no Problem with the roads, but i honestly cannot believe that. Maybe with a 4x4 jeep but definetly not with an RV.

We then stopped at a campground right around the corner with a very friendly host but nevertheless paid double for this Night.

I cannot say anything about the site es we could't make it there, but i cannot recommend it until the roads are fixed.

Attention future Travelers... this is not a four-wheel drive Road however it is a dirt road. I encourage anyone wants you to stay at this Campground or any other for that matter to do your research. If you look at my site I am very clear about the GPS and not following it and to follow directions exactly. I understand this particular couple were First Time RV years so I understand their anxiety in attempting a rocky road. We are a Campground so yes we will not have paved roads we are off grid so you will be in a rule environment and that's why people come out here for the peace and tranquility and many options for hiking not to mention great stop over if your traveling route 66... FWI I live on property full-time and drive a BMW 328i photos of available on site. Thank you everybody for understanding however some individuals don't realize that this is a business and it can hurt one's reputation so please be cautious and kind whenever leaving comments on anyones site.

The host was very nice and the directions she gave us were super helpful! It was about as remote as we thought it’d be, and we liked the remote nature of the site. There are free-roaming burros in the area and at our particular site, there was a lot of burro poop, which we did not particularly like.

This was a cool offgrid campsite that had stunning views of the mountains to the west. I think we were the only ones camping out and another couple was staying in the cabin. We want to stay here again but with our own car instead of a rental. If you arrive at night, keep an eye out for large rocks even at the entrance to your campsite. Be careful of cactus thorns in the outhouse floor. They blow in since it is open at the bottom and top parts of the door. Keep an eye on pets and small kids, we heard a lot of coyotes in the distance.

Two other notes of advice: Don't take google maps directions from the 93 south where it has you turn on Legend Ranch. You will be driving on graded dirt roads for quite a while which wasn't good for our rental. We also had a few sketchy washed out roads. Try getting to the site from Oatman Highway 10. It will only be about 2-3 miles of graded dirt roads.

Also avoid Pima Rd. When we were leaving, the directions had us take Pima Rd which we found marked as a private road. We I tried marking it as private on google maps when I got home. Take Garnet and Navajo Dr to Yaqui instead.

Our family had such a beautiful time and our host was most generous when my youngest child was afraid to stay in the tent so she offered for us to stay in one of her cottages at no extra charge.
We spent the 1St day in Oatman and then went on a short hike this morning.

These are the words of one of the campers who could not figure out how to post. Thank you, everybody for spending your time with us here at Yaqui.
