After the discovery of copper and other valuable resources in the area, Ajo underwent a period of growth and became a small hub for activity in its own right. After a series of raids by the natives, the mine was abandoned and restarted nearly 30 years later, which would forever shape the town from that point on.

Ajo has retained its essence as a small desert town with a lively past. This Old West community is home to retirees for the most part and it has also served as a tourism hotspot for those seeking to see the soothing desert landscapes of the Southwest. When you book an RV in Ajo, your access to major cities, national parks, and stunning natural beauty in the heart of the Sonoran Desert is unbeatable.
