I’m happy here….But then again, I’m happy anywhere.
I spent a peaceful and quiet night at the Constellation City Park campground. I didn't mention it before, but the campground is first-come, first-served. It's a dry campground with about 36 campsites.
I was here once before in the Arctic Fox. You can get larger RVs in here, but the roads are very narrow, all dirt with sharp turns and lots of ups and downs. There's a rodeo grounds right across the street from the campground, and watching a rodeo was the reason I was here before.
Since this campground doesn't cost very much—in fact, until recently, it was eight dollars a night—it's often full. And if there's any kind of event going on at the rodeo grounds, you’ll need to get to the campground several days before to stand any chance of getting a boondocking site.
I had planned to spend two nights here, but I like it enough that I might stay a couple more. It's very convenient to downtown, which is maybe a mile away. There's a McDonald's about half a mile down the road on the way to town, but I don't know if I have overcome the price shock the last time I ate at a McDonald's.
When I leave here, I'm going to the Arizona trust lands, where I stayed the last time I was in Wickenburg. It's four or five miles outside of town, but it's free. The bad rains are over, so I don't have to worry about any flooding or dry washes causing me problems.

The roads in the campground are twisty and pretty steep in some areas. In the background is the town of Wickenburg.
There are walking paths through the campground that wander around in the desert.
the Lance camper and its current boondocking spot is near the center of the picture.
