Pump Station BLM Avra Valley, AZ 85653

"I enjoyed boondocking here with my travel trailer. Quiet. Lots of spaces. Dirt road to get there, will be dusty when dry. Glider- port next door, expect minor air traffic on weekends. Views were good. I had great ATT & Tmobile service while here. Most of the ground is flat and solid, not very rocky. Very slick mud when wet. I stayed here twice and enjoyed both stays. Would stay here again."

"Was 5 stars as it was so peaceful, but apparently El Tiro Gliderport has started a firing range for big guns that have ruined the tranquility of the area. Big guns seem to be the norm, and they start around 5am. But, being on BLM land, we can’t target shoot."

"excellent winter camping spot, We stayed for about 9 days. Another reviewer mentioned bigger rigs could park right off the road, which is true but we found if we took the side road to the west just a little bit you could get decent sized rigs a little bit off the beaten path. For example I have a 30 foot travel trailer and saw some massive 5th wheels."

"We will be back. A lot. We stayed for a week. Magnificent! Left before the rain came in and area was going to flood. Otherwise, we would have stayed for another week. It is between the glider and a parachute glider club, so you see those occasionally. A little airplane noise, mostly small planes, but not often. Peaceful AF. Very dispersed while we were there. Weekends in warmer weather may be less dispersed, but still, nothing like the crowds in the parks. Lots of paths to walk. Dirt road getting in is pretty good, a little washboarding, but very passable. (If not flooded)"
