Free Camping Near Phoenix: Sonoran Desert National Monument
We were looking for free camping near Phoenix but aside from some casino parking lots, we weren't having much luck. But then, about an hour south of Phoenix, heading west on I-8 we found nice dispersed camping at the Sonoran Desert National Monument. This vast, sprawling stretch of BLM land was a welcoming landscape to spend some time in warm winter temperatures with plenty of room to roam.

Camping Near Sycamore Creek | Beeline Highway
After looking and looking, we pulled the trailer down near Sycamore Creek and then through the wash for about a quarter mile in questionably deep sand. With some strategy and enough speed, we managed to back our trailer into the perfect little branch off of the main wash. And we were home!

A five story home built into the limestone cliff walls circa 1200. Or a vast, sprawling 110 room pueblo built on a hilltop. Both are spectacular sights to see and impressive construction feats!
