Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

Coming out here — Proctor Road Dispersed Camping · Coronado National Forest · AZ
- Surface water mapped nearby: Juniper Tank (water). That is wash water at best, and nobody has checked it for you — a creek can be dry and a tank can be mud. Filter or boil anything you drink.
- Assume no services at all. Most dispersed camping in a national forest has none: no tap, no power, no dump, often no toilet. Everything you need, you bring.
- Power: Dave carries his own — batteries or solar. A generator will run your rig and it is also the thing everybody camped near you can hear.
- Getting online: Dave recommends Starlink. He has had it since SpaceX introduced it, used it for four years living on the road, and it delivers as promised — several hundred nights out, and he can count on one hand the places he could not connect. The cable on his unit runs 150 feet, which is usually all it takes to find enough sky. Starlink → Referral link — Starlink pays Dave $100 in cash if you sign up through it, and that money funds this site and the next trip. It costs you nothing and does not change the recommendation.

How it was placed
USFS Recreation Area Activities, activity 'Dispersed Camping', pulled 2026-09-19: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coronado/recarea/?recid=84516 || REVIEW 2026-09-26 (nightshift-verified, fire 2510): The recid URL above now 301s to the forest's recreation landing page. Live page https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coronado/recreation/proctor-road-dispersed-camping (read 2026-09-26): 'this dirt road offers access to established dispersed camping sites. All sites are first come, first served. There is a 14-day stay limit per 60-day period. Please use existing sites only. There are no restrooms or trash cans.' 'High-clearance required. 4WD recommended. Creek crossing may be impassable after rain.' 4,500 ft, year-round. No coordinate on the page, no EDW record for the recid. APPROVED: the page states established dispersed sites along this road. The pin is 6 m from MVUM 781 'PROCTOR ROAD'. Nothing published within 2 km (#184 Bog Springs CG is 2.05 km). camp_type set to ohv, like Caribou in fire 2350, because the page requires high clearance. FEE UNPRICED: the page states none, and EDW 'PROCTOR PICNIC' (0.6 km E, in the Madera Canyon group) charges '$8 per vehicle per day', so free is not safe to assume. Coronado alerts: the 14-days-in-60 order 03-05-00-24-005 shows an end date of 2026-05-22 but the page still states the limit, so that is kept. 'No Fire Restrictions' is posted (camp_type before this review: None)
