Where Will You Stay?

From Joe's invitation:

"There is room for attendees to bring campers or travel trailers to camp out. Of course, you “hardcore types” are welcome to pitch a tent and snuggle up in your sleeping bag. Bring your own food, beverages, drinking water, and firewood."


Wide open spaces and saguaro cactus for RV'ers

For those considering camping out, the weather is usually great, and the sky is clear and full of stars. Joe's property is level and not rocky - ideal for tenting or for travel trailers, tent trailers, or RV's.

 

 


Oh, Look! It's one of Santa's Little Helpers...
Heading for the Latrine!

There is potable water available, and two flush toilets on site.

 

 

 

 


Smooth flat ground for your tent

For those who need a little more comfort, There are some small motels in nearby Maricopa, there is the luxurious Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino, and there are other hotels and motels of all descriptions and price ranges in nearby Phoenix and Casa Grande.

When considering whether to camp at Base Camp or stay in a motel or hotel please remember that you may have been drinking by the time you want to drive to your hotel, and the roads are dark and rural. There is also always a strong law enforcement presence in the area with the nearby casino and they have zero tolerance for DUI.
