Arizona: 5 Little Places to Camp for Free!

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I lived five years in Arizona and never knew about them. Congratulations for finding them!

[@suzannepatterson307]

Just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoy your videos! They are scenic, thoughtful, humorous, intriguing, interesting and very entertaining. Thank you for a wonderful video. I binge watched a few episodes when I first discovered your channel. Had to reign myself in and set limits or I would have run out of our visits. That’s what these feel like. We are sitting at the kitchen table and you are sharing pictures and stories of your travels, trials, tribulations and triumphs! Good Job Sir. Very Good Job.

[@Aspengaming-12345]

Love this channel so fkn much I love the honesty and transparency, the videography and editing to your videos, and your in depth narration . Your top notch for sure please keep it up Slim:)

[@suzannemorrow9987]

You are great! Thank you so much for your time& thoughts. Both of my grown children are established in AZ . Now with granddaughters there , I’ll be coming out from CA much more. Single, and carefully spending, having free sites is really wonderful.

[@edwhitespeareftrvlife9815]

I just watched your video about some stops around the Phoenix & Tucson areas and found them rather interesting and educational. As a woodworker, I find creativeness everywhere. I have never seen the trick of turning a thorn into a musical needle.... Thanks for showing me that. You can learn something new every day. Hope to see you in the wild as a full-time. Traveler myself with my wife and three dogs , We have been enjoying This lifestyle Four years now.

[@oscarmike4596]

Your quite an interesting and eclectic character, and I love your goofy wit. I appreciate that you seem to live in the moment and squeeze the marrow... Thanks for sharing

[@freedomfred6518]

I am thoroughly enjoying your video production style. Thanks for cracking me up while being very informative.

[@deanweis6085]

[@autumnskyes5633]

Great video! Love your humor! At 10:23... Love how you not only captured the flower, but the cactus growing on the cliff in the background.

[@Rebeccamyst]

Your videos are more enjoyable than the travel shows on TV. Great work and information for the road.

[@brantardrey7360]

[@brantardrey7360]

[@chrisr6157]

Thanks for showing your Boondocking areas in AZ! They are beautiful! You do such a great job at trick photography!

[@xTouragx]

Great video! As a resident of Arizona, I had to smile when you said its "warm" in the 80's..we call that winter here :) So many great spots to visit in my back yard..thank you.

[@rugbymoms]

Fried bread is an Indian taco!! The best!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! 🤗

[@herbclark2476]

I like how you walked around the back of your aliner and reappeared leaving from inside it! Great photography magic!

[@Paul-ul3iu]

Thanks for providing the details on how to find these wonderful places. I live near Scottsdale and plan to visit some of them soon!

[@bonniesmith1471]

Thanks for this! I'm enjoying it while bundled up in blankets. Freezing.

[@davidwhite7789]

I love all of your videos. I've been binge watching your videos and never get tired of all the neat adventures and feel like I'm right there with you having a great time too.

[@gregorycooper7962]

Great reviews. Thank you for the honesty and hilarity you installing your videos. Love the parody of Apocalypse Now

[@thizizliz]

You have a great sense of humor and write a terrific script. I am so glad to have found your channel - it's loads of fun.

[@kennyc388]

I shall make a trip to AJO just for the fry bread! Another awesome video, Slim.

[@fathertime2710]

I had to give you a thumbs up. No matter how old your video is. You are truly comical. Happy camping.

[@daveb6283]

Amazing that a cactus needle can play a Gram. U gave me a smile on my face today.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Well... Dang... U showed me some places I've never been to! And I live in AZ!! Nice... very nice! Glad u enjoyed our native bread!

[@bingsballyhoo711]

Thanks! I like to also see a fellow hummingbird-feeder-carrier!

[@Luigi13]

A lot of good humor and a nice adventurous trip. You are good as a videographer too. Cheers.

[@tailgunnerblue9478]

Slim, just love your old gramma phone. I remember an old Victrola we had when I was a kid, would play old carbon records. Thanks for sharing all the great information.

[@gregengelhardt5093]

One of many excellent videos. Well documented, helpful and informative, very entertaining.

[@patriciabee4690]

Wonderful video. Love the humour. I am so cold I have my house toque on. The dessert warms me up. Thank you

[@laurieaddis2558]

What a wonderful video. You’re very talented with your great commentary. Thank you!!!

[@onrycodger]

I enjoy ALL of your videos. Thank you for another great production. Awesome!

[@shelenashares3640]

I pass through Ajo often and love the town square, church and paintings! Great video! Loved the Apocalypse Now moment!

[@CoopmanGreg]

Great Impersonation LOL. Just watch that movie last week for 10th time. Love that part.

[@skychaser59]

Your videos are always entertaining Slim. Keep them coming!

[@H.pylori]

Photography great. Content great. Usefulness, great. Just a plain old well done video. Thanks. Hope to see you at Gold Butte this year.

[@joycesdogs]

I really enjoyed this video.Thanks so much. Nice little bits of info AND not too long. 5 campsites in one short video works for me! Can't wait to go to Ajo. Loved all the colorful art you showed.

[@RobertL78]

The drive between Superior and Globe down into Phoenix is a great drive up, over and through mountain passes.

[@markvillarreal6005]

As always your videos are awesome. I like them a lot because i own a 2018 esp A -frame from Rockwood so when i see your videos it gets me pumped up to head out and go to some of your spots. Especially that one you had at the grand canyon where you were right on that rim. That was just breathtaking. So keep the videos coming, and many more safe travels to you.

[@Larry11549]

Slim, you are truly a renaissance man. Lovely video, thanks!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Just love the positive and actually very learningful content you share. Thanks for doing that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

[@allleygreen8093]

Phonagraphic needle ideas were AWESOME.

[@josephduplaga7595]

That was a great idea by using a needle for the phonograph. Take care

[@danutamaurer352]

Definitely one of my favorite videos...love your brand of humor. The info on your boondocking places and visual footage helped me greatly on making some decisions. Love the Ajo area, Thank you again for making my life easier.

[@psyekl]

"Always go where the road takes you." - That's why I bought a jeep. Thanks for the great video!

[@larrycherrington5953]

Your videos are getting better all the time Slim. Thanks,keep it up.

[@1suitcasesal]

Really nice video! Thanks for making it.

[@baggerrider8073]

Just so ya know, the beans in the fry bread most likely are made with lard. Also the bread may also be fried in lard. No biggie for carnivores like me, but probably not what Slim would prefer. Stay safe out there Slim!

[@papajoej]

Bagger rider Slim likes hot pockets so he just likes good food!

[@Randylj1]

😃👍🏻 So glad I checked in. Lots of great ideas always! Miss the sunny, warm Southwest! Going to search your NM videos also!

[@fredsieber2676]

I work in Japan and come home for the summers to America. My daughter is making it in the Japanese music industry and my original plan was for her to pay for a cabin in Alaska for me. Your videos have changed my mind and she will be buying me an Aliner with a good truck to tow it!

[@KeylargoVideo]

It just dawned on me that you are the Rick Steves of the Aliner set. So enjoyable and well done. Thank you for the effort to share your travels :)

[@zonacrs]

Great job showcasing desert camping in my home state. Looking forward to seeing some forest camping coverage on your way back home, far too may people think this entire state is desert!

[@minah2141]

Really enjoyed this video. I lived in southern Arizona years ago. It is such a beautiful place. Love you videos.

[@dalekundtz4603]

Thanks for the suggestions and have an enjoyable road trip. Be safe!

[@sjr7822]

Clever cactus needle! I think I had a smile on my face all the way through this video. The plus is, giving names to plants, I see so many videos of plants , not many do I know what I am looking at. Nice touch. We only have 'fried bread' at the fairs, but, I've never bought any, I may change my mind, seeing how much you enjoyed yours. You and I part company on the pizza pockets tho', I don't do prepared foods, altho' I can see how convenient they are for people on the move.

[@Freeontheland2030]

Well done sir, I have subscribed and I must say it is nice to see a vlog of this nature without any drama.

[@treezareese2058]

The "without drama" remark - amen! (seems like many who make vids r either ignorant of where they r, who may b watching their vids, etc. Nice to watch & listen to someone with common sense & no agenda! Luv ya Slim! T.

[@Jonbass777]

I totally agree!

[@douglasstewart1380]

We are of the same mold. Totally agree

[@dieseltherapy59]

Just found your channel, Subbed!! I grew up in Arizona and remember eating fry bread with honey as a kid.

[@TheAmtwhite]

Loved the shots of Ajo. I’m am nature girl, but also love exploring small towns, especially ones that have something unique/interesting about the place/people/food etc. Thanks for the great videos!

[@curtismarean6963]

Nice! You did great! This is what I love about the west, great free spots and good food.

[@bobmartens1089]

You got me interested in boondocking in AZ back in 2018, then retired, bought a used TT and headed south to AZ from Winnipeg Mb in Dec 2019 as a solo snowbird. Had the time of my life till the big C hit in March 2020 and have not been back, but planning to again go back this Dec🤞. First place i stayed was one of your spots Snyder Hill. One of my favourite spots was near Yuma but ill keep that one a secret 😉. Thanks Slim.

[@TheCowgirlwest1]

Thank you for all your great videos. Ajo was my home town and it did my heart good to see you enjoying it!!

[@gjonesii]

I truly enjoy your videos. Beautiful and educational. Thanks Slim!

[@csikomas8910]

you deserve all the likes. you put a lot of effort in. thanks, enjoyed it.

[@cirrus820travelers9]

Great places to check out in our future journeys!

[@joharmon2148]

Oak Flat now in a battle against big mining companies. Great video you make them so much fun

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

I liked your cowboy music and vintage video, well done 👍very professional. I have a feeling you’ve narrated before KZbin. Or just a natural...a pleasure to watch non the less. thank you 🙏🏼

[@cynforrest]

Haven’t had fry bread in decades. May just have to drive to Arizona and get some! Yum. Thanks for another fabulous vid!

[@tinavestal2154]

Okay, I'm subscribing, that cactus needle trick was amazing!

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Tina Vestal Like a boss 💪

[@skybluepink998]

You never disappoint Slim! Good Fry bread- yummo!

[@2010jakem]

Your videos are great - I find them very interesting and relaxing. Keep up the great work, I love watching your adventures!

[@luciemewes614]

So much fun to watch. We are heading to Boston soon and San Juan or Bowie might just be on our route!

[@ruthy8ruthy]

I think this might be the best rv video I have ever seen.

[@shaunlindheimer2186]

Oak flat camping ground is a really great spot if you go late February March there is a lot of water from the snow forms of pond great ways to kick back watch the animals come in, and see what pops out of the water good fish . Loved you video. 🚙

[@juliecastagnaro2868]

You’re more knowledgeable than most Americans. Thanks for the info.

[@kxrv6629]

Thanks for the Arizona boondocking ideas. We stopped at 3 of them last winter and stayed at a couple. The Tucson one was just too cramped (and unscenic) for us so we stayed at the nearby County campground near the Old Tucson movie town and the (West) Saguaro National Park. Ajo was an intriguing spot. We enjoyed the architecture too and dancers practicing in the Plaza. Camped further south, just outside Organ Pipe NM. Saddleback Mtn is a great boondocking spot for scenery and collecting fire agates. We’ll definitely have to check out the Hot Wells.

[@NK-ox9uo]

This was an excellent video. Enjoyable from start to finish.❤️

[@lynneb.r.6176]

Mmm. Delicious looking fry bread and nice scenery too

[@sheilatorres1908]

Excellent content and fabulous photography.

[@chrislonsberry4571]

Great video! Loved the Platoon parody. Thanks for the Boondocking tips.

[@eileenfostel2645]

Loved the video! Enjoyed the Arizona flora and fauna- lived there for 12 years, and I miss it! Safe travels

[@lch4912]

Hi Slim, I noticed your tongue bike mount. Great idea. May try it on my 13' Trillium. Thank you for the informative video. Happy Trails

[@tracykozil5029]

Loved the creative editing with old fashioned camera work.

[@darylphipps2919]

Slim...I enjoyed my stay at Indian Bread Rocks tho a short stay will do more exploring there latter. I am currently at Coyote Howls East. And will endeavor to follow that loop from end to end. Enjoyed this vid like all of your other ones keep the wheels and videos a rolling!

[@asiam7436]

It can be a lot of work to make a video this good. Thanks so much. Glad you discovered fry bread! I'll be in AZ this winter as a new full timer with years of solo wilderness travel experience so I'm interested in boon docking places. For pizza you can buy Naan bread. It is shaped like fry bread. Toast it on your grill on one side. Flip it over and add pizza sauce and any toppings you want and you'll have pizza. Cheers!

[@dazmclaz500]

These videos bring me so much joy

[@bryanadams9477]

Love how you give directions to each place. Great video. Peace ✌

[@mimitravels710]

Great little video. Thanks for the info. That fry bread looked wonderful.

[@michaelmessick6728]

I was half watching and you caught me off guard when you did the war sketch. Lol great video

[@ellensburgwa5087]

Liked your rv video. It has a distinctly different content from others, plus you have a funny way of telling your story.

[@nickvh548]

Some nice little spots in our favourite state. And a nice edit on your camera ‘trick’ :) Also love your Aliner rig. With retirement looming I’m looking into smaller trailers that still have some headroom.

[@kw2756]

Informative & fun vlog. Appreciate the phonograph & you making a needle from a Cactus...Very resourceful.

[@seanburns5937]

Haha 😄 🤣 you have a great sense of humor 😄 buddy.......movie quote and all. I love the smell of napalm in the morning......😆😅🤣😂good pic for a moment like that!

[@boarderbill2]

Great Video (as always)! Brought back some memories, this time last year we were on our way to Midland Calif (just north of Blythe). We spent a few nights at Indian Bread Rock and Saddle Mountain. We loved the free range cattle and mules at Indian Bread Rock - nothing like waking up to giant cows walking around your trailer lol.

[@lincolnmurphy969]

Love the Theatrics Sir. Great spots to camp, thank you kind soul for all your nice tips an genuine nice person 👤. 😁✌👌

[@campgoerOne]

Hello from Phoenix! That was a great video! I've been here for 11 years and you've been around Arizona more than I have! Looking forward to another one of your videos! 😁

[@scottandlora4029]

We'll be looking for that fry bread sign when in Ajo this winter for sure. That looked good!

[@bobgoodwin6797]

I liked the fact that you have a Gramophone, I have 2 crank m AZ Chinese, a Poly portable and a suitcase type, I love the old records ! Thanks for the video !

[@elainefarr3155]

Great video! I have a picture of my Grandpa in the 1930's hauling a huge piece of mining equipment from Jerome AZ to Ajo to the mine. Been through Ajo but never saw the mine before, thanks for the great shot! There's also some good camping up around Prescott, up on Copper Basin Road if you ever get up that way. It's colder there though, might be best in the spring. Keep on trucking

[@FayleeJames]

Thank you for a bright spot in my day.

[@sarahlabrasseur6319]

Great video! So much that makes loving Arizona easy!

[@TrinityRidge1959]

Buckeye hills is our future for free lands. 3000 just at rtr more for burning man quartzsite. It will not turn out good sooner or later. Definitely keep these areas pristine. Very very nice videos. Now this channel is binge worthy. You have a great voice for it as well. Oh and the levity. The best. Haha

[@peterrabbitroberts4469]

Thanks, PotatoHead for your Arizona camping sites.

[@xstanadu]

Being a ARIZONA person ( living there ) I found this to be a great , fun and informative video !! Great photography And since I’ve been wanting to visit AJO , afyer seeing this , I’ll def be going ! Thank you Sir for sharing your adventures !! 😁
