This is a primitive flat spot off of a remote two track intersection in northern Kofa Wilderness. Very quiet and secluded desert landscape with saguaro cacti. No fire ring. Spacious enough for multiple vehicles. No cell service. Not far from popular cabin. The entire road is lined with wonderful spots like this, many have fire ring. Recommended.

Confidence
Researched — The record is detailed and internally consistent, and the coordinates land where the managing agency says this site is.
How it was placed
FIELD VERIFIED by Dave Lalande -- he has stood on this site. Coordinates are his own GPX track point, not a geocode. County and state confirmed against the FCC Census Block API (La Paz County, AZ). Everything under 'From the field' is a direct observation; nothing here is inferred from a land record.

Verified on the ground. Dave has stood on this one. Conditions still change — confirm before you commit.
What we don’t know
A land record can put you within a few metres of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- How many rigs actually fit
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
