Took the truck and scoped out a couple BLM sites in the area around Willcox AZ today.
Indian Bread Rocks - Really pretty area but limited sites for a larger rig, maybe 2 or 3 from what I saw. There was a large lump on the road into more sites. Did see a smaller fifth wheel deeper in. Must have had decent bed rail clearance.
If have a smaller rig there are quite a few neat spots, most not very level. Free to camp.

Hot Well Dunes - Kind of neat they have concrete hot tubs supplied by hot springs. $3 bucks a night to camp 50% off for federal lands senior pass. Mostly an offroad and ATV area, sandy campsites. The road in is terrible, old pavement full of potholes!
We stayed at Indian Bread Rocks last year. You are right about the rig size. Watch out for the wild Javelinas especially if you have dogs. Also saw a huge cat paw print in the sand near camp. Some neat hiking there as well.
Hi, Ray. We just left Indian Bread Rocks about a week ago and enjoyed a great few days ago in our 40 foot beast of a Fifth Wheel. Yes, there is a lot of poop pies, but we managed to dodge them. The cows and bulls seem to think they own the place. Ha! We saw a herd of wild horses, too. We found that at the end of the road, there is a large open area with enough room for us and 4 or 5 other RV’s. Great place!
PS: If you’re still too cold, Go West, Young Man! We’re now in Yuma, AZ/Winterhaven, CA where it was in the mid 60’s F and sunny today. We’re at the Tumco Mine BLM which is also beautiful. Come on ove!r Phil
Hi Keith … I have a standard 26" wheel size on my mountain bike. Parts of the road are a touch too sandy and the tires will dig in. If you have a bike with fat tires, it should be OK. Cheers, Steve
Hi … some footage taken at Indian Bread Rocks in December 2018. While there, a Ranger mentioned the Hot Well Dune Hot Springs BLM so headed over there for a few days too. Liked it sooooo much, I returned to it on my way back home in the spring.
Ray is right, the road in to Hot Well Dunes is terrible. THE worst paved road I've been on … although there is another in California that is a close second.
