Arizona

Looking for a place in Arizona ? I have listed a few places below. If you know of other places please contact me at kellyallen@shaw.ca with the info and I will add your campsite.

We loved camping in Arizona. You can camp anywhere on the BLM Lands (Bureau of Land Management) of Arizona for free. Just make sure you clean up after yourselves and your horses. We found it safest to camp on the BLM lands outside smaller cities like Wickenburg , and Wickiup just down from Kingman. I don't suggest camping in any BLM lands close to big cities like Tucson or Phoenix because of the higher homeless populations that settle out on the BLM lands. We camped for a week up in behind the Rodeo grounds on BLM lands in Wickenburg for over a week. We had a great camp site and the sunsets where unbelievable.

Great riding through the dried river beds and through the canyons. Wickenburg is a cute little horsy town with great artsy shops. Another great place to camp is in the Arizona State Parks .. Catalina State Park has great corrals for the horses and the riding is great the cost is $15 per Rig horse are free Maximum stay of 14 days. Corrals are first come first serve. Most Arizona National Forests you can camp in for free but you must by a pass to stop in any of them. We camped just south of Sedona in the Coconino National Forest between the beautiful red rocks.
