My teeth need doing... travel trailer stays at home, see a dentist and a room it is.

Take a look at a weather forecast for Yuma. Right now daytime temperatures are 100+ and as high as 108. Night time are running 78+ and into the 80's. Air Conditioning is almost a must.

Need to get a couple of root canals and crowns... and wonder how brutal the heat will be in Yuma first week of June. Probably a mofo.

Hi SuzzeeeQ,

I think the place 2oldman is suggesting may be called Pilot Knob. Water and an RV sanitation dump station are nearby on Sidewinder at the Shell station (760-572-2053). The Shell also sell propane at a reasonable rate.

I was just commenting on the one over by the VFW :) and where I am now...

lol that's true 2oldman. It was not very quiet back there...we camped all the way back by the trees. That's also where the homeless people decided to come. They camped in their car.


where we are now on Ogilby is packed with RV's, and it's fairly quiet, but the trains run almost constantly. Getting almost used to it by now lol

a, the BLM 14 day area (FREE) behind the VFW on US 95 is great.

If you're deaf, maybe. That's the noisiest place I've ever been with traffic, trains and aircraft.

I'd suggest the ... BLM 8 miles west at the freeway and Sidewinder road.. just past the checkpoint. I can't remember its name but it's here: 32.742165,-114.758305

Am new to boondocking. Wife and 5 mini dachshunds would like to try. Thinking about arriving first of upcoming week staying through Saturday.

Where would you recommend we go first time round? If we succeed.... will decide on generator or solar. Have 30ft. fvr.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Very good info !!

While visiting friends in the Foothills just east of Yuma, I see a lot of boondockers of the South Frontage Road. gps 32.663078,-114.386523
