Fantastic Winter Camping An Hour Outside Phoenix, Arizona

We've gotten our best campsite recommendations from fellow campers and this one is awesome! Tortilla Flat is a tiny Western looking spot on the road with a population of six. There you will find a saloon, restaurant, gift shop, ice cream shop, but not not many groceries so bring them with you because Apache Junction is 17 miles away. Across the road is the entrance to Tortilla campground. In this video, you will discover the beauty that surrounds these campsites and makes this a very special place. Join us! ~ Trish Selgrath and Randy

Looks like a great spot for winter camping! Thanks for sharing!

[@wanderwonders1221]

Thanks, we have found so many great places if you like the desert as we do! You just regulate the temperature with elevation changes. Thank you so much for watching! Trish

[@shannonhail5597]

We just stayed there in spot 59 (it’s one you can reserve ahead of time) because of your KZbin! It’s gorgeous and so clean and well maintained. Will be going back in about a month.

[@wanderwonders1221]

I'm so happy for you. We may go back this Winter. We've been boondocking south of Phoenix. Happy New Year! ~ Trisha

[@brendaphelps4606]

Yes, there are Aldi stores in Eastern US. North Carolina & South Carolina have Aldi.

[@wanderwonders1221]

Oh, I know! We're from the Atlanta area. It's the west that is just now getting them. California has a lot and a few in Arizona, but they are expanding rapidly. Just saw the nicest one ever in Buckeye, outside Phoenix. Thanks for watching! Trish

Thank you so much 🤗

Thanks for the footage of this area! 👍🚙🏞🌞🏜🌵. Enjoy the road! 🌞

[@wanderwonders1221]

I hope you get to go! We did a lot of camping around Tucson and other areas of Arizona too.

[@flexjay87]

Looks like a nice spot :)

[@wanderwonders1221]

It is! If you have a self contained rig, we have other videos on the area. We just left one of our favorite free spots south of Phoenix. Look up our video, Boondocking Tucson. ~ Trisha

Great video, we will share and promote your channel and your video! :) -Team Tortilla Flat

[@wanderwonders1221]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@neilholland6558]

Curious to know if you were able to find out availability before you drove up or did you just take your chances.

[@wanderwonders1221]

We took our chances. It was early in the season so there were lots of open spaces. The camp host said it does get busy during peak which is Winter. Thanks for the question.

[@chadstark6610]

Was there electricity at the camp sites? Thanks

[@wanderwonders1221]

Not on our loop, however, there was water. The state park website would let you know if it is available in another area. I kinda doubt it but it was beautiful! Thanks for watching.

[@danopureblood7066]

Great video! Did you have any TV reception?

[@wanderwonders1221]

Yes! Shockingly, the cell towers were right above the campground. Thanks for watching, Trisha

[@charlestait5303]

@@wanderwonders1221 broadcast tv or cell phone are separate things, no? How to get tv on a cell tower?

[@wanderwonders1221]

@@charlestait5303 yes, you are right. I assumed they were talking about cell reception to watch programs on whatever service they're signed up for.

[@ronaldmcculley1910]

Are there length and weight restrictions? I see the bridge has a 14 ft. height limit.

[@wanderwonders1221]

The width and length should be fine. I didn't see a weight listed. It is a curvy road so take it slow. You should be fine in the campground. It's so beautiful there. Enjoy! ~ Trisha

[@crackerjack4833]

Do yall know if you can get a 25-foot long 8' 6" wide freightliner down to there? Not sure what that bridge weight limit is but my truck will fit height wise

[@wanderwonders1221]

The bridge allows for a 14 ft high rig. The width and length should be fine. I didn't see a weight listed. It is a curvy road so take it slow. You should be fine in the campground. It's so beautiful there. Enjoy! ~ Trisha

[@crackerjack4833]

@wanderwonders1221 appreciate greatly! I'm due for a vacation and I need to get to a winter campground area. It looks so peaceful there, how can I refuse? Lol

[@janetginger8571]

I wish you would show more. So perfect .

[@wanderwonders1221]

More what? LOL! We have to leave something for you to discover. ~ Trisha

[@jodystroup2925]

What month is this?

[@wanderwonders1221]

Mid October. It was the beginning of the season and the weather was great. A little hot when hiking in the desert though. That sorbet hit the spot! Trisha

[@moonglow7303]

Do they accept people who travel in their cars and stay in their cars?

[@wanderwonders1221]

I wasn't aware that there are camping restrictions that say you can't. That's basically what we're doing in our van. We have boondocked with people who camp in their cars but not at this campground. If these rules exist, one hack would be to get a small, cheap (even used) tent and set it up. Put a rock in it to hold it down. Oh, I do remember hanging a camping hammock. You can get one for $30. If they ask why you're not sleeping in it (I can't imagine they would), you could say that the coyotes, snakes, etc. scared you! ~Trisha

[@moonglow7303]

@wanderwonders1221 thank 😊 you

[@kathrynrobertson1431]

Bet there ate a lot of snakes

[@wanderwonders1221]

Surprisingly, we didn't see any

[@StatesEdge]

Probably, but I've been hiking and fishing here since I was 8 and never saw a snake.

[@johnwolf1475]

thousands of coyotes-- snakes are there out in the rocks not usually in camp-- there is a nice mtn there to climb- by hiking-- snakes may be off the side of that ttrail----- i camp in flagstaff- never saw a snake for years- same site- down to teh square inch-- no snakes until 1 year i stepped right into strike distance for a baby rattler--- just as potent as the momma- but way more pissed off after i moved it and gave the ravens a dinner---- the ravens and i have become friends.... snakes are good wampum

[@johnwolf1475]

USED to be affordable now only the rich can afford the tonto passes

[@wanderwonders1221]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've heard that there is dispersed (free) camping in the area. Trisha
