There is BLM camping just south of both Ajo and Why. And also some inexpensive commercial campgrounds in the area to take advantage of for a night if desired.
Right outside Ajo to the south a couple miles take Darby Wells Road to the west into some BLM land.
And then down south of Why a couple miles you will cross a bridge over a somewhat large wash. Just beyond that turn west into the Gunsite Wash area for BLM camping. Go back in maybe a tenth mile.
If you haven't spent much time in that part of the country lately there are quite a few good places to boondock. But the season will be coming to an end soon as the 100+ degree days of summer arrive.
