its great, I have had extensive camping exp. some with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children and more by myself with a big group of friends. Arizona has some of the best sites, I think. Wide variety, high plains, low plains deserts, light trees, lakes, rivers, high mountain, waterfalls etc. all an hour to 1 1/2 hours drive outside of Phoenix, just depends which way you go... N.S.E.W.
Right now is the best time to go too, well, except for Memorial Day weekend. The campsites are full and you must drive further or 4x4 it to et o the better areas, hard to do with the ladies though, some still require closer amenities.... gas stations, toilets etc..
I give a big hoorah for all those who wish to partake in this adventure. (just leave the laptop at home".
