Where the land is, and what fits

The official BLM boundary with every campground we hold inside it. Tell it how long your rig is and the map keeps only what takes it — public land rarely matches the shape people picture, and neither does what you can actually get into.

San Pedro Riparian

Look for the remains of a Spanish fortress. See where North America’s earliest people lived. Enjoy the critical riparian area, supporting a variety of mammals, native fish species, amphibians and reptiles, and breeding birds.

The San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area contains nearly 57,000 acres (23,000 ha) of public land in Cochise County, Arizona, between the international border with Mexico and St. David, Arizona. The riparian area, where some 40 miles (64 km) of the upper San Pedro River meanders, was, through the efforts of congressman Jim Kolbe, designated by Congress as a Riparian National Conservation Area on November 18, 1988, and assigned to the protection of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
