There is lots of room for flying here but there are no facilities within 10 miles of our camping/flying site. You will need to bring all of your own food and water when camping at this site. The closest thing to civilization is the ice cream truck that comes by sometimes.

Look for the first one shortly after the end of the paved road (~2.5 miles).
You should see the Superstion Mountains OHV Area sign shortly after MM 2
After you pass mile marker 4 you need to TURN LEFT onto
an "established" dirt road/trail about 0.2 miles ahead
GPS: 32.894, -115.783
if you don't see the trail !!!!
Or, just give me a call when you get to mile marker 4 (or anytime you like)
and we’ll be able to guide you to the site.
It REALLY is on the left 0.2 miles past mile marker 4.0
Follow the dirt trail for
~.5 miles. Don't be tempted to turn too early.
Then turn right (NW) onto another trail, just before the major brush ahead of you.
Our preferred site (GPS Coordinates 32.891, -115.793) is within 1500 feet and you should be able to see us.
