A couple of easy (for us Baja offroaders) to get to places. Very quiet if you push to the very end of the trails.
Four Peaks - central az
Volcanic crater at Cinder Hills - Flagstaff area

Hook, not much real wood around just the usual small desert stuff. We had one tent camper with us - perfect weather helped.
El Camino del Diablo (suggested by desertcpl) is a great run - do your homework and take the short side trip hike to the tinaja Tule Tank. Also Google
Earth will show you the nearby original route in some places. Be sure to climb up to the top of Tinaja Altas. Wave at the La Migra vehicles hidden in
the side arroyos.

We go rockhounding in the Burro Creek area, near Wikieup. Beautiful area, you will appreciate the drive in from Nothing Az down into Burro Creek,
there is an easier longer way in from the highway just north of the BLM campground, but you'll like the way in from Nothing (named Suicide).
Wikieup has a good BBQ restaurant.

I've overnighted several times at Painted Rock Petroglyph site - it's about 11 miles off the Int 8 (before the 85 junction), on a paved biway -
campground, no fee, bathrooms, no people, coyotes. If you have a Natl Park Pass (senior?), Saguaro NP would be free, and camping half price - $6.
Cochise Stronghold Rec Area, south of Dragoon, has a campground - it may have a fee, but we didn't bother - we were the only ones there. I've also
camped some place near Arivaca, and Madera Canyon has some BLM land around it - no fee.

Ken - here's a link to the BLM site for AZ. Contains both developed and "dispersed" - i.e. primitive camping areas for the state:
http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/recreation/camping.html
I tent camped through southern Utah east to west in Sept. and made extensive use of the BLM/NPS/NFS maps and info. There is a lot of very detailed
info if you dig deeper into these websites, including maps of off-road trails, and hikes only accessible from off-road trail heads.
Have fun on your trip, where ever you go!
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.
