Wild Cow Springs Campground

Great location, but recent rains have created deep ruts across and down the road, just need to straddle the ruts and go slow on deep ones. Not a problem if you take it slow. Site recommends 4x4 and no trailers/camper. Someone was up there with Ford escape and another person had a van, I towed my 16' scamp with no trouble, although the wheels do follow the 4runner, which made it a little easier to navigate the obstacles. I wouldn't go much bigger due to the tight turns, and once you start on certain stretches, you're committed. No cell service at camp, which is nice, but you can get a signal on the final hill down into camp, and if you walk out the back of the camp up the trail a way, it's hit and miss but available if needed. Has fire pits, picnic tables, and multuple toilet facilities. N

Its a pine oasis in the high desert. Its gorgeous, cool, and quiet with clean bathrooms but is a paid campground. Bring several bundles of wood, the availability of harvestable wood is not likely. Good spots throughout the campground, shaped like a needle with more bathrooms concentrated towards the point where you come in and the eye being at the back. If you approach from flag mine road you can exit via the emergency evacuation route that becomes Blake Ranch rd for some truly spectacular views.

Made it to this campground in my scion xb! Super desolate! Had the entire place to myself! Not even one person drove by the entire time! If you need an escape from humanity this is the perfect place to go!

The road is rough and Google gives bad directions so look for signs. The wash through the campground had no water (July 2019). The sites are quite limited for flat surface to put a tent and I don't think a trailer could make it up the switchbacks. There were several pit toilets but no water. Sites had tables and fire rings, but there was a burning ban. I saw lots of folks enjoying off road vehicles. The sites have many large trees for shade.

The campgrounds were actually quite beautiful, specially in that area of Arizona. There were a lot of trees with nice shade and the fee was $8. The downsides, is that it was very hard to get. It has 2 roads to arrive, and I took the one that is on the eastern side, which was very long and hard even for a 4x4 to traverse. Th3 western road which I took on the way out, was much nicer since there is a town close to it that is fully paved. Still, I don't recommend you try to pull a trailer or RV here at all. The bathrooms were vault toilets, with no toilet paper, so bring your own. Instead, it seems people wiped themselves off with the walls of the toilets.
