Dragonfly Ranch
1. Dragonfly Ranch
32mi from Sierra Vista · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
There are a series of washes on the road to the property. They are easily passable without issue by my GMC Savana and my friend’s long-wheelbase Promaster. I haven’t tried, nor have I seen, a vehicle with a trailer drive up here yet. As a four-year vanlifer who has lived on much BLM land, I’ve seen trailers make it up worse roads.
A quiet, safe patch of sand and mesquite just 15 miles from Bisbee and 22 miles from Douglas. Located on a sandy road one mile off Frontier Rd. Turn west onto W. Calle de Amigos from Frontier Rd.
Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful, and you can see the Milky Way at night despite a little light pollution from Agua Prieta, Douglas, and Bisbee. There is no offensive road noise, and only an occasional small aircraft in the distance. It’s bare-bones dry camping—water, groceries, and trash disposal are all pack-it-in, pack-it-out.
The property is planned for regreening and wildlife habitat. When booking, I can provide detailed directions, current road conditions, and guidance on where to park once you arrive. I don’t recommend trailers, as they may have issues with the three washouts along the road—but it’s at your discretion. Vans, trucks, and even cars are able to reach the property without any problem.
It’s best not to drive up the road in the rain, as it gets very muddy. Waiting an hour or more after rainfall is ideal to give the water time to drain off a bit. Frontier Rd is prone to closure during heavy rains and has many washes that can hold water for days, though locals still get through. Use your best judgment.

Loved this place! Quiet, scenic, had water and electric. It’s one of the nicest Hipcamps we have stayed at so far. Very convenient to both Bisbee and Ramsey Canyon, two places we wanted to explore.

Like this site. The scenery is awesome and host Mike is great! Mike is full of knowledge of surrounding area and clued me in on some great spots. Parker Lake and the Coronado National Memorial are two of my favorites. Lot of extras including TV with great reception. Had trouble with my vehicle which required a few days in shop and Mike even provided a vehicle for me to use while it was down.
