but there are several free camping areas
around Lake Alamo. Scenic views of
Lake Alamo with cactus and rugged
mountains in the background.
Harsh desert enviorment, be prepared
with water and proper supplies.
DIRECTIONS:
From Hwy.60
Turn north at Wenden and follow the signs.
At milepost#29, take Wayside Road to Wayside.
Turn left on Wickenburg Road and it's a couple
miles to Alamo Wildlife Area.
From Hwy.93
Go west on Wickenburg Road.
Just guessing it is about 30 miles of dirt roads
from this direction. 4x4 is recommended.
See: MAP
These are desert roads and you cross many
washes
that are prone to flash flooding. If the weather forcast
is for rain, either avoid this area or bring plenty of
supplies, because you might be there a couple
days.
PALMERITA ROAD
At the end of Palmerita Road stay left.
The last mile down to the river is steep and rough.
THREE RIVERS ROAD
About a mile east of Wayside
Turn on Palmerita Road to Three Rivers Road.
At the end of Three Rivers Road are some camps.
Most firerings have been removed, so you might
have to make a sandwich or salad.

Alamo Road near I-40 near Yacca Arizona
The first couple miles is paved surface.
ALAMO ROAD
Alamo Road starts in Yucca Arizona and
traverses 59 miles of desert to the northern
shore of Alamo Lake. It is hot and dry in the
summer. Alamo Road ends at the boat ramp
and you could camp here, but best to take
a spur road and find a spot. The road is subject
to flash floods and possible loose sand. It is a
very scenic road. There are Joshua Trees and
Organ Pipe Cactus with rugged mountains in
the backgrounds.

wondering around the desert with no water.
