6.9mi from Surprise · 1 site · RV · Surprise, AZ

2 acres on the edge of BLM land overlooking the desert to the west. There is no neighbors close. We are out of the city and when the sun goes down there is no city lights and all you hear is the sounds of the coyotes talking. The days are quiet and calm. If you have a side by side with you, there is immediate access to the desert to ride for miles.

2. Camp Humbug

16mi from Surprise · 1 site · Tent, RV · Black Canyon City, AZ

*** Grab a $10 discount with promo code TGU8QDFW *** A perfect location to camp and experience all the adventures the area has to offer. Ideal for anything from ATV and jeep trips to Crown King, camping, hunting in nearby public lands, visiting the area's mining and native history, or just to spend some quality time in the Sonoran Desert. This private pad is large enough for a few RVs and all the toys. 4WD vehicles are highly recommended, and mandatory during poor weather or when pulling a trailer. The 12 miles of dirt roads get heavy traffic and are usually in poor condition with extensive washboard and rocks, requiring slow driving and extra attention. Winters at this 2600 foot elevation can bring a few inches of snow. Summers put on the seasonal monsoon show, Spring and Fall are always enjoyable with cooler nights, often even chilly. There are the usual desert critters to beware of: bark scorpions, rattlesnakes of all kinds, mountain lions on the prowl, and some poisonous spiders. Other abundant wildlife is also present: foxes, skunks, javelina, bobcats, mule deer, ringtail cats, raccoons, coyotes, and many kinds of birds. You'll likely also see herds of wild burros and some cattle grazing nearby, they tend to leave droppings everywhere. Target practice is common in the area and even allowed at this site. There is a large stone firepit for guest campfires, firewood may be provided but not guaranteed. A large trash can is available on site for guests, please use it. There is no water available at or near the site, you will need to bring all the water and supplies you require during your stay. The nearest services are along Lake Pleasant Pkwy. off Highway 74 and four miles further south at Happy Valley Rd. Another large shopping area is at Highway 74 and I-17. This area was populated before Phoenix existed, complete with a school and postal service. For more info, look up the towns of Humbug and Columbia at www.apcrp.org

Troy's spot worked out great for us. He met us when we arrived. Which worked out great since us newbies didn't know that we didn't have the right power adapter. Troy had one for us to borrow. The site was quiet with easy access to site.

The site was peaceful, private, and provided all of the amenities needed for our stay. The location was great for us...close enough to family, but just far enough away 😉 We brought out off road bikes, so proximity to trails was great! We highly recommend staying at Troy's and will definitely stay here again next time we pass through.

We loved staying at Troy's! They were very friendly, the landscape was beautiful and the remote, quiet area...yet close to conveniences was perfect! Add to that, the full hookups that can be difficult to find at a hip camp and it's knocked out of the ballpark! Don't hesitate to book the site.
