Painted Rock Petroglyph Campground

Large campground, spacious sites. Quiet. Clean and well maintained. Views for miles. Nice, short hike around the petroglyphs, and informational signs providing historical details. Dry camping. Trash dumpster on site. Would stay again.

Very quiet. We have been here a few times. A nice stopover for us. Nothing special, very flat, no amenities (except garbage), some come prepared with water.

Well maintained flat camping spots. Very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Very large level spaces with fireplaces. No shade and, of course, no hook-ups, but some vault toilets and garbage containers. Very close - in walking distance - to the petroglyphs, and in easy driving distance to the Oatman Massaker Site, the Oatman Grave, and the graves of the 4 Fourr children. The latter two are on private agricultural property, and you need permission from the owner staff to drive through the area. High clearance 4-wheel drive with some rugged tires are needed. Don't try to get to the sites when it's wet. Next civilization (gas/food) is Gila Bend about 25-30 mi away.

Recreation.gov is a scam. $8 for the site and $8 convenience fees. Forcing us to use an app on phones with very poor reception rather than the old-fashioned envelope and check/cash method. Where is the convenience?? An envelope is much more convenient for us in remote locations than is struggling with poor reception on a cell network. Next time we just wont pay.
