(Site 10)
This brand new RV park is very convenient. It is flat and has good views. It is an all gravel area with some medium size trees at all but one space. All spaces have full hookups. There are picnic tables but they are not at your actual site, but nearby along the perimeter of the flat area. Sadly it not yet an ideal place for those of us traveling with dogs due to the surface area being all gravel. You would definitely want a rug for them to lie on. If you are not traveling with dogs, this site is a great place, especially for passing through. The people who run it are very nice and working hard to make this a very nice RV park.
Past trip
in Big Spin Ranch, ArizonaLarky H.has mixed feelings towards this listing.
(Dispersed site)
We were looking for somewhere to sleep, away from people but close to Petrified Forest National Park. Big Spin Ranch fit the bill. The area is totally undeveloped high desert with some grass. The 1st dirt road you go down has some serious washboarding but we were able to avoid the most of it. Once you are on the last road, it is smooth, hard packed dirt. We were there when it was dry. We would not have attempted this if it had rained or snowed recently. Our vehicle is a Pleasureway CamperVan. No 4 wheel drive! You need google maps to find the coordinates once you are in the general area. It would be so very helpful if some metal fence post with reflectors marked the corner GPS points! The beauty of the area is that it is deserted! We did have to press down some weeds and tall grasses to make a smooth area for the dogs and we were super glad we had a tarp as it is very dusty. We were very happy, even with this effort until the trains started. I don't believe that anywhere along that I-40 corridor would be free of the train horns or rumble. The track is still a good mile or more away, but boy do you hear them. Worse they go all night! Luckily we could turn on the fan in our camper and drown the sound mostly out. So as a previous reviewer said - bring ear plugs! I really feel for the residents of this whole area. I drive I-40 all the time and have always seen trains, but I had no idea how many run on those tracks every day and night! The sunset was beautiful and when there were no trains it was dead silent. So, if you are fine with an unprepared site, your vehicle can make it down dirt roads, some rough, and you have your earplugs, you will love this location!
