Excellent weather and stargazing!

Such a great spot! Tons of open space, great star gazing, and the weather was perfect for the start of Spring. Will definitely plan a return trip, this is a very serene location. 👌🏻😌

Lovely place to stay inside

Getting there was fine and save a good sized bump to get from road to camp, it was flat and maneuverable. It’s nice desert surroundings and a pretty sunset. The stickers were really bad, at least where we were, though. They’re sharp and stuck to the door mat, our shoes and our small dog. Although we went out minimally, they got into our camper and we’re still getting them out a day later. Maybe it’s the season or the specific area we selected, but we didn’t feel like we could really enjoy the property.

The spot we chose was perfect for a large group, with enough open space to comfortably set up a 10-person tent, a canopy, a 7-person teepee, and a camp privacy shelter. The flat terrain made setup easy, and there was plenty of room for the kids to run around without obstacles. Wildlife was abundant, with little creatures scurrying about throughout the day. A definite highlight was spotting and hearing a pair of eagles, a rare and awe-inspiring sight. Coyotes were active at night, their yipping adding an eerie but exciting atmosphere to the experience. Stargazing was nothing short of incredible—the clearest I’ve seen in a long time. With minimal light pollution, the night sky was a breathtaking expanse of stars. The firepit we built added to the ambiance, though it got breezy during the day, making fire management something to keep an eye on. The landscape was mostly flat with mountains visible in the distance, creating a picturesque backdrop. While the campsite was close enough to Highway 79 to hear some traffic, it wasn’t overly disruptive. The dirt road leading in saw sparse traffic, making it feel peaceful and secluded. Overall, this was a fantastic dispersed camping experience—beautiful scenery, great wildlife encounters, and an unbeatable night sky. Would definitely return!

This was our first trip boondocking with the new motorhome. Cactus Forest is a beautiful site and was only 30 minutes from the Rennaissance Festival. Easy access and flat ground made set up easy. We were far enough from the road not to hear traffic noise. The star watching was great!

Excellent desert camping near phoenix. Very welcoming host. Great place to stargaze within a short drive from the Phoenix metro. Easily accessible from a paved road, while still being secluded.
