Suggestions for Arizona winter camp sites?
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2014 1:46 pm
Just got back from a camp trip to the Phoenix area and it got me to thinking about finding some "new to me" campsites for the winter. Since I am still one of those lucky fellows who still get to work all week, I need to find some new spots that aren't much over four hours from Kingman, ie. Phoenix or Colorado river area. That would give us enough time to get there by Friday night and still be able to get home in time on Sunday to get ready to go back to work. Feel free to suggest other sites that are out of this limit though as many other campers would no doubt like to hear about them. I would think that most any park that is at 2,000 feet elevation or less would do fine for some winter camping. I realize that during a cold snap, most any spot might be too cold, but for most days, winter camping works fine. I can recall a Christmas eve at Usury that was 34 degrees. That was cold but we still had a very nice time.
We have stayed in Usury Park many times as well as staying at Lost Dutchman during the Spring Clean, but who has suggestions for other spots that are low enough for comfortable winter camping. Has anyone stayed at White Tanks? How is it? We don't need any fancy amenities, we are pretty well set up and don't need power or water, but a bathroom would be nice but we can even cover that if needed. We would love to hear about some other spots to check out.
Thanks
