Nothing is 25 miles from Nowhere (Population 0), an equal distance south of Wikieup, Arizona (Pop. 200), and 50 miles north of Wickenburg, Arizona (Pop 4,500). It's also a well known historic site--absolutely NOTHING has ever happened there! Eight miles along Highway 93 from Nothing is the location of Burro Creek a BLM campground. Burro Creek is named after the many wild burros that still inhabit the area. According to winter camphost Bill Bock, there's a small warm spring in the creek bed a short way up from the campground, just off BLM property. The Bureau Of Land Management operates Burro Creek campground and charges $6.00 a night for dry camping, the area has views that won't quit. Burro Creek Campground has toilets, "non-potable" water and a dump station, all of which are available to the public without charge. A nearby BLM area, Upper Burro Creek Wilderness Area East of Highway 93 offers a mere 27,440 acres of camping, sunning/swimming at deep pools connected by small water falls, and enough scenery to last a lifetime. Kaiser Warm Spring is in Nothing, Arizona, which doesn't appear on most maps, since it isn't something. As you may have guessed, Nothing has nothing ~ no phones, no post office, a burgeoning population of five (count 'em, 5!), and no electricity, we kid you not! Nothing has LOTS of balancing rock formations and one business, which doubles as the residence for the entire population; it's a general store, tire repair, museum, towing service, used car lot, fuel station, cactus garden, and FREE ADVICE center, all powered by a diesel generator.
