★★★★★ 5.0 SoloFemaleAdventurer · Jun 2025

Absolutely stunning landscape in fall/winter. Visited in 2022. Had a wonderful time and got to do a horse 🐎 ride during our stay.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cole Cooke · Dec 2020

Very beautiful scenery. Lots of open space and room to roam. There are lots of sites and places to walk. The sun rises and sunsets are amazing! A great spot to camp near the Tucson area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Wendy Lambert · Nov 2024

Beautiful boondocking sites. Water available at Empire Ranch. No dump station nearby. Pack in pack it out!

★★★★★ 5.0 John Crockford · Apr 2025

Very nice views of the Sky Islands mountain ranges. Quiet. Clean. Good road in, minor washboarding. Campsites spaced well apart. 14 day stay limit. Water spigot and vault toilet at Empire Ranch headquarters about 1.5 miles from camp area. No fee to camp here. BLM visits regularly.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Patrick · Feb 2025

Ruined when the managers decided to chain strip the campground of beautiful shades trees. I get it's a ranch and they likely want browse for cattle but leaving the trees in a campground IN THE HOT WINDY DESERT--no brainer. Also nearly never patrolled and so many people either overstay the 2 week limit or tag team, communicating with friends who come and take the spot immediately as others leave. There's a lot of land out there and it's time to add a dozen more sites spread out so it maintains a camping/nature vibe and not an RV park ambiance. Lots of cow dung. If you hit it right with the right neighbors you can enjoy peace and stars galore.
